1 Ja sitte tapahtui, että Egyptin kuninkaan ylimmäinen juomanlaskia ja leipoja rikkoivat herraansa Egyptin kuninkasta vastaan:

2 Niin Pharao vihastui molempain palveliainsa, ylimmäisen juomanlaskian ja ylimmäisen leipojan päälle.

3 Ja heitti heidät vankiuteen huovinhaltian huoneesen, vankihuoneesen siihen paikkaan, jossa Joseph oli vankina.

4 Ja huovinhaltia pani Josephin heidän kanssansa palvelemaan heitä. Ja he olivat vankiudessa kappaleen aikaa.

5 Ja molemmat näkivät unta, kumpikin unensa yhtenä yönä, kukin unensa selityksen jälkeen, Egyptin kuninkaan juomanlaskia ja leipoja, jotka olivat sidottuna vankihuoneessa.

6 Koska Joseph tuli aamulla heidän tykönsä, ja näki heidän murheelliseksi.

7 Kysyi hän niiltä Pharaon palvelioilta, jotka hänen kanssansa herransa vankihuoneessa olivat, ja sanoi: miksi te olette tänäpänä surulliset?

8 He vastasivat häntä: me olemme nähneet unta, ja ei ole, joka sen selittää. Niin sanoi Joseph heille: Jumalan on selitys, kuitenkin jutelkaat se minulle.

9 Niin ylimmäinen juomanlaskia jutteli unensa Josephille, ja sanoi hänelle: minä näin unta ja katso, viinapuu oli minun edessäni.

10 Ja sillä viinapuulla oli kolme haaraa ja se oli niinkuin viheriöitsemällänsä, sen kukoistus kävi ylös, ja sen rypäleet tuleentuivat viinamarjoiksi.

11 Ja Pharaon juoma-astia oli minun kädessäni: niin minä otin viinamarjat, ja pusersin ne Pharaon juoma-astiaan, ja annoin sen juoma-astian Pharaon käteen.

12 Ja Joseph sanoi hänelle: tämä on sen selitys: Kolme haaraa ovat Kolme päivää.

13 Kolmen päivän sisällä korottaa Pharao sinun pääs, ja asettaa sinun jällensä entiseen virkaas: ja sinä annat Pharaon käteen juoma-astian niinkuin ennenkin, koska olit hänen juomansa laskia.

14 Mutta muista minua tykönäs, koska sinun hyvin käy, ja tee sitte laupius minun kanssani, ettäs ilmoittaisit minun Pharaolle, ja antaisit minun ottaa täältä ulos.

15 Sillä minä olen salaisesti varastettu Hebrealaisten maalta; enkä ole tässä mitään tehnyt, että he minun tähän vankiuteen panivat.

16 Koska ylimmäinen leipoja näki, että selitys oli hyvä; sanoi hän Josephille: minä myös uneksuin, ja katso, kolme palmikoittua koria oli minun pääni päällä.

17 Ja ylimmäisessä korissa oli kaikkinaisia leivotuita ruokia Pharaon tarpeeksi: ja linnut söivät niitä korista minun pääni päältä.

18 Joseph vastasi, ja sanoi: tämä on sen selitys: kolme koria ovat kolme päivää.

19 Ja kolmen päivän sisällä ylentää Pharao sinun pääs, ja ripustaa sinun hirsipuuhun: ja linnut syövät sinun lihas sinun päältäs.

20 Ja tapahtui kolmantena päivänä, koska Pharao piti syntymäpäiväänsä, teki hän pidon kaikille palvelioillensa, ja ylensi ylimmäisen juomanlaskian pään, ja ylimmäisen leipojan pään palvelioittensa seassa.

21 Ja asetti ylimmäisen juomanlaskian jälleen (entiseen) virkaansa, antamaan Pharaon käteen juoma-astiaa.

22 Mutta ylimmäisen leipojan antoi hän hirttää; niinkuin Joseph oli heille selittänyt.

23 Mutta ylimmäinen juomanlaskia ei muistanut Josephia, vaan unhotti hänen.

1343. That “Eber” was a nation called, from Eber as its father, the Hebrew nation, and that thereby is signified the worship in general of the Second Ancient Church, is evident from those historical parts of the Word wherein it is spoken of. From that nation, because the new worship commenced there, all were called Hebrews who had a similar worship. Their worship was of the kind that was afterwards restored among the descendants of Jacob; and its chief characteristic consisted in their calling their God “Jehovah,” and in their having sacrifices. The Most Ancient Church with unanimity acknowledged the Lord, and called Him Jehovah, as is evident from the first chapters of Genesis, and elsewhere in the Word. The Ancient Church, that is, the church after the flood, also acknowledged the Lord, and called Him Jehovah, especially those who had internal worship, and were called “sons of Shem.” The others, who were in external worship, also acknowledged Jehovah, and worshiped Him. But when internal worship became external, and still more when it became idolatrous, and when each nation began to have its own god whom it worshiped, the Hebrew nation retained the name Jehovah, and called their God Jehovah; and hereby were distinguished from the other nations.

[2] Together with their external worship, the descendants of Jacob in Egypt lost this also-that they called their God Jehovah; nay, Moses himself did so; and therefore they were instructed first of all that Jehovah was the God of the Hebrews, and the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob; as may be seen from these words in Moses:

Jehovah said unto Moses, Thou shalt come in, thou and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, Jehovah the God of the Hebrews hath met with us; and now let us go, we pray thee, a three days’ journey into the wilderness, and we will sacrifice to Jehovah our God (Exodus 3:18). Again:

Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken unto His voice to let Israel go? I know not Jehovah, and moreover I will not let Israel go. And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us; let us go, we pray thee, a three days’ journey into the wilderness, and we will sacrifice to Jehovah our God (Exodus 5:2-3).

[3] That together with the worship the descendants of Jacob in Egypt lost also the name of Jehovah, may be seen from these words in Moses:

Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the sons of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you, and they shall say to me, What is His name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM WHO I AM. And He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the sons of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the sons of Israel, Jehovah the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this is My name to eternity (Exodus 3:13-15).

[4] From these words it is evident that even Moses did not know Jehovah; and that they were distinguished from others by the name of Jehovah the God of the Hebrews. Hence in other places also Jehovah is called the God of the Hebrews:

Thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Jehovah the God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee (Exodus 7:16).

Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews (Exodus 9:1, 13).

And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews (Exodus 10:3).

And in Jonah:

I am a Hebrew; and I fear Jehovah the God of the heavens (Jonah 1:9).

And also in Samuel:

The Philistines heard the voice of the shouting, and said, What meaneth the voice of this great shouting in the camp of the Hebrews? And they knew that the ark of Jehovah was come into the camp. And the Philistines said, Woe unto us! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these august gods? These are the gods that smote the Egyptians with all manner of plagues in the wilderness. Be like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews (1 Samuel 4:6, 8-9).

Here also it is evident that the nations were distinguished by the gods on whose name they called, and the Hebrew nation by Jehovah.

[5] That the second essential of the worship of the Hebrew nation consisted in sacrifices, is also evident from passages cited above (Exodus 3:18; 5:2-3); as well as from the fact that the Egyptians abominated the Hebrew nation on account of this worship, as is evident from these words in Moses:

Moses said, It is not right so to do, for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God; lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us? (Exodus 8:26).

For this reason the Egyptians so abominated the Hebrew nation that they would not eat bread with them (Genesis 43:32). It is also evident from all this that the posterity of Jacob was not the only Hebrew nation, but all who had such worship; and therefore in Joseph’s time the land of Canaan was called the land of the Hebrews:

Joseph said, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews (Genesis 40:15).

[6] That there were sacrifices among the idolaters in the land of Canaan, may be seen from many passages, for they sacrificed to their gods-to the Baals and others; and moreover Balaam, who was from Syria where Eber dwelt and whence the Hebrew nation came, not only offered sacrifices before the descendants of Jacob came into the land of Canaan, but also called Jehovah his God. That Balaam was from Syria, whence came the Hebrew nation, see Numbers 23:7; that he offered sacrifices, Numbers 22:39-40; 23:1-3, 14, 29; that he called Jehovah his God, Numbers 22:18, and throughout the chapter. What is said of Noah (Genesis 8:20), that he offered burnt-offerings to Jehovah, is not true history, but is history so made up, because by burnt-offerings there is signified the holy of worship, as may there be seen. From all this it is now evident what is signified by “Ber,” or by the Hebrew nation.
