Genesis 46

Studie

   

1 Nõnda läks Iisrael teele koos kõigega, mis tal oli, ja tuli Beer-Sebasse ning ohverdas tapaohvreid oma isa Iisaki Jumalale.

2 Ja Jumal rääkis Iisraeliga öistes nägemustes; ta ütles: 'Jaakob, Jaakob!' Ja see vastas: 'Siin ma olen!'

3 Siis ta ütles: 'Mina olen Jumal, sinu isa Jumal, ära karda minna Egiptusesse, sest ma teen sind seal suureks rahvaks!

4 Mina lähen koos sinuga Egiptusesse ja ma toon sind sealt tagasi, ja Joosep suleb oma käega su silmad.'

5 Ja Jaakob asus Beer-Sebast minekule; Iisraeli pojad panid oma isa Jaakobi ja oma väetid lapsed ja naised vankritesse, mis vaarao oli läkitanud teda tooma.

6 Ja nad võtsid oma karjad ja varanduse, mis nad Kaananimaal olid soetanud, ja tulid Egiptusesse, Jaakob ja kõik ta sugu koos temaga.

7 Oma pojad ja poegade pojad, tütred ja poegade tütred ja kogu oma soo viis ta koos enesega Egiptusesse.

8 Ja need on Iisraeli laste nimed, kes Egiptusesse tulid: Jaakob ja tema pojad. Jaakobi esmasündinu oli Ruuben.

9 Ruubeni pojad olid Hanok, Pallu, Hesron ja Karmi.

10 Siimeoni pojad olid Jemuel, Jaamin, Ohad, Jaakin, Sohar ja Saul, kaananlanna poeg.

11 Leevi pojad olid Geerson, Kehat ja Merari.

12 Juuda pojad olid Eer, Oonan, Seela, Perets ja Serah; aga Eer ja Oonan surid Kaananimaal. Peretsi pojad olid Hesron ja Haamul.

13 Issaskari pojad olid Toola, Puvva, Jaasub ja Simron.

14 Sebuloni pojad olid Sered, Eelon ja Jahleel.

15 Need olid Lea pojad, keda ta Jaakobile ilmale tõi Mesopotaamias; peale nende oli tal tütar Diina. Kõiki ta poegi ja tütreid oli ühtekokku kolmkümmend kolm hinge.

16 Gaadi pojad olid Sefon, Haggi, Suuni, Esbon, Eeri, Arodi ja Areli.

17 Aaseri pojad olid Jimna, Jisva, Jisvi ja Berija; nende õde oli Serah. Beria pojad olid Heber ja Malkiel.

18 Need olid selle Silpa pojad, kelle Laaban andis oma tütrele Leale ja kes tõi need Jaakobile ilmale, kuusteist hinge.

19 Jaakobi naise Raaheli pojad olid Joosep ja Benjamin.

20 Joosepile sündisid Egiptusemaal pojad, keda temale ilmale tõi Asnat, Ooni preestri Pooti-Fera tütar: Manasse ja Efraim.

21 Benjamini pojad olid Bela, Beker, Asbel, Geera, Naaman, Eehi, Ross, Muppim, Huppim ja Aard.

22 Need olid Raaheli pojad, kes Jaakobile sündisid, ühtekokku neliteist hinge.

23 Daani poeg oli Husim.

24 Naftali pojad olid Jahsel, Guuni, Jeeser ja Sillem.

25 Need olid selle Billa pojad, kelle Laaban andis oma tütrele Raahelile ja kes tõi need Jaakobile ilmale, ühtekokku seitse hinge.

26 Kõiki hingi, kes Jaakobiga Egiptusesse tulid, kes tema niudeist olid väljunud, peale Jaakobi poegade naiste, oli ühtekokku kuuskümmend kuus hinge.

27 Ja Joosepi poegi, kes temale Egiptuses olid sündinud, oli kaks hinge; kõiki Jaakobi soo hingi, kes Egiptusesse tulid, oli seitsekümmend.

28 Ja ta läkitas Juuda enese eel Joosepi juurde, et see teda juhataks Goosenisse; nõnda nad tulid Gooseni maakonda.

29 Ja Joosep laskis hobused oma vankri ette rakendada ning läks Goosenisse vastu oma isale Iisraelile; kui ta teda nägi, siis ta langes temale kaela ja nuttis kaua tema kaelas.

30 Ja Iisrael ütles Joosepile: 'Nüüd ma võin surra, sest olen näinud su nägu ja tean, et oled veel elus.'

31 Ja Joosep ütles oma vendadele ja oma isa perele: 'Ma lähen ja teatan vaaraole ning ütlen temale: Mu vennad ja mu isa pere, kes olid Kaananimaal, on minu juurde tulnud.

32 Ja need mehed on karjased, sest nad olidki karjakasvatajad, ja nad on oma lambad, kitsed ja veised ja kõik, mis neil oli, kaasa toonud.

33 Kui juhtub, et vaarao teid kutsub ja küsib: Mis teie amet on?,

34 siis vastake: Su sulased on olnud karjakasvatajad noorest põlvest kuni tänini, niihästi meie kui meie isad - et saaksite elada Gooseni maakonnas, sest egiptlased põlgavad kõiki lamba- ja kitsekarjaseid.'

Apocalypse Explained # 751

751. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them.- That this signifies the salvation and consequent joy of those who become spiritual by the reception of Divine Truth, is evident from the signification of rejoicing, as denoting joy on account of salvation; from the signification of the heavens, as denoting those who are spiritual (concerning which we shall speak presently); and from the signification of ye that dwell, as denoting those who live, here spiritually. That to dwell signifies to live, may be seen above (n. 133, 479, 662). The heavens signify those who are spiritual, because all who are in the heavens are spiritual, and because men who have become spiritual are also in the heavens, although they are in the world as to the body; therefore ye that dwell in the heavens means not only angels, but also men, for every man with whom the interior mind, which is called the spiritual mind, has been opened, is in the heavens, indeed, he also sometimes appears amongst the angels there. That this is so, has not been known in the world up to the present time. It must therefore be understood, that man as to his spirit is among spirits and angels, and indeed in that society of them into which he is to come after death. The reason of this is that the spiritual mind of man is formed exactly according to the image of heaven, and in such a way that it is a heaven in least form; consequently that mind, although still in the body, must nevertheless be where its form is. But this has been more fully dealt with in Heaven and Hell 51-58), where it is shown that every angel, and also every man as to his interiors, if he be spiritual, is a heaven in its least form, corresponding to heaven in its greatest form. For this reason where the Word treats of the creation of heaven and earth, the internal and external church is in general meant, and, in particular, the internal and external man, that is the spiritual and natural man. From these things it is evident that the heavens and those that dwell in them signify all who are there, and also those men who are becoming spiritual by the reception of Divine Truth in doctrine and life.

Arcana Coelestia # 9323

9323. 'And He will bless your bread and your water' means the increase of the good of love and of the truth of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'being blessed by Jehovah' as being made fruitful in forms of good and being multiplied in truths, dealt with in 2846, 3406, 4981, 6091, 6099, 8939, thus an increase in the kinds of things that belong to love and faith; from the meaning of 'bread' as the good of love, dealt with in 276, 680, 2165, 2177, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 6118, 8410; and from the meaning of 'water' as the truth of faith, dealt with in 680, 739, 2702, 3058, 3424, 4976, 5668, 6346, 7307, 8568. Since 'bread' meant all the good of love and 'water' all the truth of faith in their entirety, and since 'being blessed by Jehovah' means every increase in them, people in the ancient Churches were accustomed to express the wish, May Jehovah bless [your] bread and water. It was also common to speak of 'bread and water' when all natural food and drink were to be expressed and all spiritual goodness and truth to be understood; for the latter are what nourish spiritual life, just as the former nourish natural life, 4976.

[2] Such goodness and truth are meant by 'bread and water' in the following places: In Isaiah,

Behold, Jehovah Zebaoth is taking away from Jerusalem and Judah the whole staff of bread, and the whole staff of water. Isaiah 3:1.

'The staff of bread' stands for power and life provided by good, 'the staff of water' for power and life provided by truth. In Ezekiel,

Behold, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, so that they may eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and drink water by measure and with dismay; that they may be in want of bread and water, and will be dismayed with one another, 1 and waste away on account of their iniquity. Ezekiel 4:16-17.

'Being in want of bread and water' means being deprived of the good of love and of the truth of faith, as is plainly evident since it says 'that they will be dismayed with one with another, and waste away on account of iniquity'.

[3] The like occurs again in the same prophet,

They will eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with dismay, so that her land may be devastated of its fullness, on account of the violence of all who dwell in it. Ezekiel 12:19.

In Amos,

Behold, the days are going to come, in which I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of Jehovah. Amos 8:11.

In the first Book of Kings,

The man of God said to Jeroboam, If you were to give me half your house, I would not go in with you; nor would I eat bread nor drink water in this place. For Jehovah had so commanded, saying, You shall not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way you came. But a prophet from Bethel said to him that he had been told by Jehovah that he was to eat bread and drink water with him (he was lying). 2 And he went back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water. For that reason he was torn to pieces by a lion. 1 Kings 13:8-9, 16-19, 24.

His refusal to eat bread or drink water with Jeroboam was a sign of his abhorrence of the good there and also of the truth, because they had been rendered profane. For Jeroboam had profaned the altar and all the holy things of worship, as is evident from the historical descriptions at this point in the Word.

[4] A lack of spiritual goodness and truth was meant by the absence of rain for three and a half years when Ahab was king, resulting in a lack of bread and of water, during which time Elijah went to a widow in Zarephath and asked her for a little water in a vessel so that he might drink, and a piece of bread so that he might eat, 1 Kings 17, 18. For 'bread' meant all the good of the Church, and 'water' all the truth of the Church, as stated above. Since such things in those times were representative for the reason that only something representative of the Church existed among those people, and since things of a representative nature were used therefore in the composition of the Word, including the historical section, goodness and truth laid waste was accordingly represented by the lack of bread and water. And because 'bread' meant all the good of love in its entirety, therefore also the sacrifices were referred to as 'bread', 2165, and therefore also the Lord calls Himself 'the bread which comes down from heaven', John 6:48, 50-51; for the Lord is the Good itself of Love.

2. i.e. the prophet from Bethel was lying when he told the man of God that God had commanded him (that prophet) to bring the man of God to his house
