Genesis 49

Studie

   

1 Ja Jaakob kutsus oma pojad enese juurde ning ütles: 'Tulge kokku, siis ma kuulutan teile, mis teiega sünnib tulevasil päevil!

2 Kogunege ja kuulge, Jaakobi pojad, võtke kuulda Iisraeli, oma isa!

3 Ruuben, sina oled mu esmasündinu, mu rammu ja sigitusjõu esikpoeg, väljapaistev väärikuselt ja väljapaistev võimult.

4 Veena oled sa vooganud - esikohale sa ei jää, sest sa tõusid oma isa sängi! Sel korral sa rüvetasid selle, sina, kes tõusid mu voodile.

5 Vennaksed Siimeon ja Leevi, nende noad on vägivalla riistad.

6 Nende nõusse ei astu mu hing, nende seltsiga ei liitu mu süda. Sest oma vihas nad tapsid mehi ja meelevallatuses halvasid härgi.

7 Olgu neetud nende kange viha ja nende metsik raev! Ma jaotan nad Jaakobis ja hajutan Iisraelis!

8 Juuda, sind ülistavad su vennad. Sinu käsi on su vaenlaste turjal, sind kummardavad su isa pojad.

9 Juuda on lõvikutsikas - saagi kallalt, mu poeg, oled tõusnud. Ta on heitnud maha, ta lebab nagu lõvi, nagu metsik lõvi - kes julgeks teda äratada?

10 Ei lahku valitsuskepp Juudast ega sau tema jalgelt, kuni tuleb Juuda poeg Siilo, ja teda võtavad rahvad kuulda.

11 Ta seob oma eesli viinapuu külge, hea viinapuu külge oma eeslivarsa; ta peseb oma kuube veiniga ja oma vammust viinamarjade verega.

12 Ta silmad on veinist hämused ja hambad piimast valged.

13 Sebulon elab mererannal, ta saab laevade rannikuks ja tema selg on pööratud Siidoni poole.

14 Issaskar on kondine eesel, kes lebab sadulakorvide vahel.

15 Kui ta nägi head hingamispaika ja meeldivat maad, ta langetas oma turja koormat kandma ja sai tööorjaks.

16 Daan mõistab kohut oma rahvale, üks Iisraeli suguharu on temagi.

17 Daan on madu teel, rästik raja peal, kes salvab hobuse kandu, nõnda et ratsanik kukub selili.

18 Ma ootan päästet sinult, Issand!

19 Gaad - röövjõugud ründavad teda, aga ta ise ründab neid, olles neil kannul.

20 Aaserilt tuleb rammus roog ja temal on anda kuninglikke maiuspalu.

21 Naftali on nobe emahirv, kes toob kuuldavale ilusaid sõnu.

22 Joosep on viljapuu poeg, viljapuu poeg allikal, oksad ulatuvad üle müüri.

23 Ammukütid ahistavad teda, ründavad ja rõhuvad teda,

24 aga tema amb jääb kindlaks ja ta käsivarred on nõtked Jaakobi Vägeva abiga, Karjase, Iisraeli Kalju nime abiga,

25 su isa Jumala abiga, kes sind aidaku, Kõigeväelise abiga, kes sind õnnistagu õnnistustega ülalt taevast, õnnistustega all asuvast põhjaveest, õnnistustega emarindadest ja üskadest!

26 Su isa õnnistused ületavad igaveste mägede õnnistused, ürgsete küngaste ihaldusväärsed annid. Need tulgu Joosepi pea peale, oma vendade vürsti pealaele!

27 Benjamin on kiskjalik hunt. Hommikul ta sööb saaki ja õhtul jaotab röövitut.'

28 Need kõik olid Iisraeli suguharud, neid oli kaksteist, ja see oli, mis nende isa neile rääkis, kui ta neid õnnistas: ta õnnistas igaüht temale kohase õnnistusega.

29 Ja ta käskis neid ning ütles neile: 'Mind koristatakse mu rahva juurde. Matke mind mu isade juurde koopasse, mis on hett Efroni väljal,

30 sellesse koopasse, mis on Makpela väljal Mamre kohal Kaananimaal, mille Aabraham ostis koos väljaga hett Efronilt pärushauaks.

31 Sinna on maetud Aabraham ja tema naine Saara, sinna on maetud Iisak ja tema naine Rebeka, ja sinna ma olen matnud Lea.

32 Väli ja seal olev koobas on hettidelt ostetud.'

33 Kui Jaakob oli oma poegadele käsu andnud, siis ta sirutas voodis oma jalad välja ja heitis hinge; ja ta koristati oma rahva juurde.

6434. 'The blessings of your father will prevail over the blessings of my ancestors means that this Church will have spiritual good from the natural, but nor from the rational. This is clear from the representation of 'Joseph' as the spiritual Church, dealt with in 6417; from the representation of Israel, to whom 'father' refers here, as spiritual good from the natural, dealt with in 5801, 5807, 5806, 5812, 5817, 5819, 5826, 5833; from the representation in the highest sense of Isaac and Abraham, to whom 'ancestors' refers here, as the Lord's Divine Internal, 'Isaac' representing the Lord's Internal Divine Human or Divine Rational, 1893, 2066, 2072, 2083, 2630, 3012, 3194, 3210, and 'Abraham' the Lord's Divine itself, toll, 3251, 3439, 4615 (though in the relative sense Abraham and Isaac represent the internal aspect of the Lord's kingdom and Church, 6098, 6185, 6276). From all this one may in some measure see the meaning of 'the blessings of your father will prevail over the blessings of my ancestors', which is that the spiritual Church will have good from the natural or external man but not from the rational or internal man; for the good of the member of the spiritual Church exists in the natural and does not go beyond it, whereas the good [of the member] of the celestial Church exists in the rational. No one can possibly know this meaning unless he knows what 'Israel' and what 'Isaac and Abraham' represent, also where the spiritual Church's good exists and from where it originates.

5807. 'And his father loves him' means that this truth exists joined to spiritual good from the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'love' as a joining together, dealt with below; from the representation of Israel, who here is the one who 'loves him', as spiritual good from the natural, dealt with in 4286, 4598; and from the representation of Benjamin, who is the one whom 'his father loves', as new truth, dealt with above in 5804, 5806. The existence of this truth joined to that good is what is meant by 'his father loves him'; and to this truth that good cannot fail to be joined since such truth has its origin in that good. This truth and good exist joined together like father and son, and also like the mental powers of will and understanding since all good has a place in the will and all truth in the understanding. When the will wills what is good this good is implanted in the understanding, where it is given a specific form fashioned according to the essential nature of that good. This form is truth; and as this new truth is born in that manner one can see that it cannot fail to be joined to that good.

[2] As regards love, that it is a joining together, it should be recognized that love is a spiritual joining since it is a joining together of two people's minds, that is, of their thought and will. From this it is evident that regarded essentially love is something purely spiritual, the natural counterpart of which is the delight that comes with companionship and that kind of togetherness. Essentially love is the harmony that results from changes of state and from variations in the forms or substances from which the human mind is built. If that harmony originates in the heavenly form it is heavenly love. From this one may see that love cannot have its origin in anything other than genuine Divine love, which is received from the Lord. This means that love is the Divine flowing into forms and so arranging them that their changes of state and variations may exist in the harmony of heaven.

[3] But loves contrary to this - self-love and love of the world - are not joinings together but separations. They do, it is true, appear to be joinings together; but this is due to one person considering another to be one with him as long as he co-operates with him in making gain, acquiring important positions, or in taking revenge on and persecuting those who oppose him. But as soon as one ceases to show the other person favour, they separate. Heavenly love is different. This is totally averse to doing good to another for selfish reasons; rather it does it for the sake of the good which resides with that other person and which he receives from the Lord, consequently for the sake of the Lord Himself, the Source of that good.
