Studie

   

1 Niin Joseph tuli ja ilmoitti Pharaolle, ja sanoi: minun isäni ja minun veljeni, heidän karjansa, pienet ja suuret, ja kaikki, mitä heillä on, ovat tulleet Kanaanin maalta; ja katso, he ovat Gosenin maalla.

2 Ja hän otti viisi nuorimmista veljistänsä, ja asetti Pharaon eteen.

3 Niin Pharao sanoi hänen veljillensä: mikä teidän virkanne on? He vastasivat: sinun palvelias ovat paimenet, sekä me että meidän isämme.

4 Ja sanoivat vielä Pharaolle: me olemme tulleet asumaan teidän kanssanne tälle maalle; sillä sinun palvelioillas ei ole laidunta karjallensa, niin kova nälkä on Kanaanin maalla. Niin suo sinun palvelias asua Gosenin maalla.

5 Niin Pharao puhui Josephille, sanoen: sinun isäs ja veljes ovat tulleet sinun tykös.

6 Egyptin maa on altis sinun edessäs; aseta isäs asumaan ja veljes kaikkein parhaasen paikkaan tässä maassa: asukaan Gosenin maalla. Ja jos sinä ymmärrät, että heidän seassansa on kelvollisia miehiä, niin aseta heitä minun karjani päälle.

7 Ja Joseph toi isänsä, Jakobin, sisälle, ja asetti hänen Pharaon eteen. Ja Jakob siunasi Pharaota.

8 Niin Pharao sanoi Jakobille: kuinka vanha sinä olet?

9 Jakob sanoi Pharaolle: minun kulkemiseni aika on sata ja kolmekymmentä ajastaikaa: vähä ja paha on minun elämäni aika ja ei ulotu minun isäini kulkemisen aikaan.

10 Ja Jakob siunasi Pharaota, ja läksi hänen tyköänsä.

11 Niin Joseph toimitti isänsä ja veljensä asumaan, ja antoi heille omaisuuden Egyptin maalla, parhaassa maan paikassa; nimittäin Rameseksen maalla, niinkuin Pharao oli käskenyt.

12 Ja Joseph elätti isänsä, veljensä ja koko isänsä huoneen, sen jälkeen kuin heillä lapsia oli.

13 Ja ei ollut leipää kaikessa maassa; sillä sangen raskas nälkä oli, niin että Egyptin ja Kanaanin maa nääntyi näljän tähden.

14 Ja Joseph kokosi kaiken rahan kuin löytiin Egyptin ja Kanaanin maalla, jyväin edestä kuin he ostivat. Ja Joseph vei rahan Pharaon huoneesen.

15 Koska raha oli kulunut Egyptin ja Kanaanin maalta, niin tulivat kaikki Egyptiläiset Josephin tykö, sanoen: anna meille leipää, miksi meidän pitää kuoleman edessäs, että raha on puuttunut?

16 Joseph sanoi: tuokaat teidän karjanne, ja minä annan teille karjanne edestä, jos raha on puuttunut?

17 Ja he toivat karjansa Josephille, ja Joseph antoi heille leipää hevosten, ja lammasten, ja karjan ja aasein edestä. Niin hän ruokki heitä leivällä sen vuoden, kaiken heidän karjansa edestä.

18 Koska se vuosi oli kulunut, tulivat he hänen tykönsä toisna vuonna, ja sanoivat hänelle: emme taida salata meidän herraltamme, ettei ainoastansa raha ole kulunut, mutta myös kaikki karja on meidän herrallamme, ja ei ole mitään jäänyt meidän herramme edessä, paitsi meidän ruumistamme ja meidän peltoamme.

19 Miksi meidän pitää kuoleman edessäs ja meidän peltomme tulee kylmille? Osta meitä ja meidän maamme leivän edestä, niin me ja meidän maamme tulemme Pharaon oamksi. Anna siemeniä, että me eläisimme ja emme kuolisi, ja ei maa tulisi kylmille.

20 Niin Joseph osti koko Egyptin maan Pharaolle; sillä Egyptiläiset myivät itsekukin peltonsa, että nälkä heitä niin kovin ahdisti: ja maa tuli Pharaon omaksi.

21 Ja hän siirsi kansan kaupunkeihin yhdestä Egyptin äärestä niin toiseen.

22 Paitsi pappein peltoa, jota ei hän ostanut: sillä se oli säätty Pharaolta, että papit söisivät sen nimitetyn osan, kuin Pharao heille antoi: sentähden ei he myyneet maatansa.

23 Niin Joseph sanoi kansalle: katso, minä olen ostanut tänäpänä teidän ja teidän maanne Pharaolle: katso, tässä on teille siemenet, kylväkäät teidän maanne.

24 Ja teidän pitää antaman tulosta viidennen osan Pharaolle; mutta neljä osaa pitää oleman teille pellon siemeneksi, ja teille ravinnoksi, ja niille, jotka ovat teidän huoneessanne, ja ruaksi teidän lapsillenne.

25 Niin he sanoivat: sinä olet meitä elämässä pitänyt: anna ainoastansa meidän löytää armo sinun meidän herramme edessä, ja me tahdomme olla Pharaon orjat.

26 Ja Joseph teki sen määrän koko Egyptin maalle, hamaan tähän päivään asti, että Pharaolle piti annettaman viides osa; paitsi pappein maata, se ei tullut Pharaon oamksi.

27 Niin Israel asui Egyptissä Gosenin maalla; ja he omistivat sen, ja kasvoivat ja suuresti lisääntyivät.

28 Ja Jakob eli Egyptin maalla, seitsemäntoistakymmentä ajastaikaa, ja koko hänen ikänsä oli sata ja seitsemänviidettäkymmentä ajastaikaa.

29 Ja koska Israelin päivät joutuivat kuolla, kutsui hän poikansa Josephin, ja sanoi hänelle: jos minä olen löytänyt armon sinun edessäs, niin laske nyt kätes minun kupeeni alle, ettäs tekisit laupiuden ja totuuden minun kanssani, ettes hautaisi minua Egyptiin.

30 Mutta minä tahdon maata minun isäini tykönä, ja sinun pitää viemän minua Egyptistä, ja hautaaman minua heidän hautaansa. Ja hän sanoi: minä teen sinun sanas jälkeen.

31 Hän sanoi: vanno minulle. Ja hän vannoi hänelle. Ja Israel kallisti itsensä päänalaiselle.

6098. And they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers. That this signifies that it has not been uplifted to the state of their life, is evident from the signification of “attaining to,” as here being to be uplifted (of which in what follows) and from the signification of “days” and of “years of life,” as being states of spiritual life (see n. 6093, 6095, 6097). That “attaining to” is here to be uplifted, is because his fathers Isaac and Abraham represented more uplifted, that is, more interior things, than he; for in the supreme sense Abraham represented the Lord’s Divine Itself, Isaac the Lord’s Divine rational, and Jacob His Divine natural. (That Abraham represented the Lord’s Divine Itself, see n. 1965, 1989, 2011, 3245, 3251, 3305, 3439, 3703, 4615; that Isaac represented the Divine rational, n. 1893, 2066, 2072, 2083, 2630, 2774, 3012, 3194, 3210, 4615; and that Jacob represented the Divine natural as to truth and as to good, n. 3305, 3509, 3525, 3546, 3576, 3599, 4286, 4538, 4570, 4615.) Therefore also by Abraham is represented the celestial with man, by Isaac the spiritual, and by Jacob the natural, for the reason that the regeneration of man is an image of the glorification of the Lord (see n. 3138, 3212, 3296, 3490, 4402, 5688). From all this it is now plain that by the words “and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers” is signified that it has not been uplifted to the state of their life.

3490. GENESIS 27

1. And it came to pass that Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim that he could not see, and he called Esau his elder son, and said unto him, My son; and he said unto him, Behold me.

2. And he said, Behold I pray I am old, I know not the day of my death.

3. And now take I pray thy weapons, thy quiver, and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt me a hunting.

4. And make me dainties, such as I have loved, and bring to me, and I will eat, that my soul may bless thee before I die.

5. And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son; and Esau went to the field to hunt for a hunting, to bring it.

6. And Rebekah said unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,

7. Bring me a hunting, and make me dainties, and I will eat, and will bless thee before Jehovah before my death.

8. And now my son hearken unto my voice, according to that which I command thee.

9. Go now to the flock, and take me from thence two good kids of the she-goats, and I will make them dainties for thy father, such as he loveth.

10. And thou shalt bring to thy father, and he shall eat, that he may bless thee before his death.

11. And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

12. Peradventure my father will feel me, and I shall be in his eyes as a misleader; and I shall bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing.

13. And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take for me.

14. And he went, and took, and brought to his mother; and his mother made dainties, such as his father loved.

15. And Rebekah took garments of desires of Esau her elder son that were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son.

16. And the skins of the kids of the she-goats she caused to be put upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck.

17. And she gave the dainties, and the bread, which she had made, into the hand of Jacob her son.

18. And he came unto his father and said, My father; and he said, Behold me, who art thou my son?

19. And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou spokest unto me; arise I pray thee, sit, and eat of my hunting, that thy soul may bless me.

20. And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast hastened to find it, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah thy God made it come to meet my face.

21. And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near I pray, and I will feel thee my son, whether thou be my very son Esau, or not.

22. And Jacob came near to Isaac his father, and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.

23. And he recognized him not, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau’s hands; and he blessed him.

24. And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.

25. And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s hunting, that my soul may bless thee; and he brought it near to him, and he did eat, and he brought him wine, and he drank.

26. And Isaac his father said unto him, Come near I pray, and kiss me, my son.

27. And he came near, and kissed him, and he smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Jehovah hath blessed.

28. And God shall give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fat things of the earth, and a multitude of corn and new wine.

29. Peoples shall serve thee, and peoples shall bow down themselves to thee. Be thou a master to thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down themselves to thee; cursed are they that curse thee, and blessed are they that bless thee.

30. And it came to pass as Isaac made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was scarcely yet gone out from the faces of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came from his hunting.

31. And he also made dainties, and brought unto his father, and he said unto his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son’s hunting, that thy soul may bless me.

32. And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn, Esau.

33. And Isaac shuddered with exceeding great shuddering, and said, Who then is he that hath hunted hunting, and brought it to me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and blessed him? Yea, and he shall be blessed.

34. When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, me also, O my father.

35. And he said, Thy brother came with fraud, and hath taken away thy blessing.

36. And he said, Is it not that his name is called Jacob? And he hath supplanted me these two times; he hath taken away my birthright, and behold now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?

37. And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold I have made him thy master, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and new vine have I sustained him; and what then shall I do for thee, my son?

38. And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but this one blessing, my father? Bless me, me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.

39. And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold of the fat things of the earth shall be thy dwelling, and of the dew of heaven from above.

40. And upon thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother, and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion that thou shalt break his yoke from upon thy neck.

41. And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him; and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father draw near, and I will kill Jacob my brother.

42. And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah; and she sent and called unto Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold Esau thy brother comforteth himself concerning thee to kill thee.

43. And now, my son, hearken unto my voice, and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran.

44. And tarry with him some days until thy brother’s wrath turn away;

45. Until thy brother’s anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him, and I will send and take thee from thence; why should I be bereaved even of you both in one day?

46. And Rebekah said to Isaac, I loathe my life because of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob should take a woman of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, wherefore have I lives?

THE CONTENTS.

In the preceding chapters, where Isaac and Rebekah are treated of, the subject in the internal sense is the rational, and how the Lord made it Divine in Himself. In the present chapter, in the internal sense, the subject is the natural, and how the Lord made it Divine in Himself. “Esau” is the good thereof, and “Jacob” the truth. For when the Lord was in the world He made His whole Human Divine in Himself, both the interior Human which is the rational, and the exterior Human which is the natural, and also the very corporeal, and this according to Divine order, according to which the Lord also makes new or regenerates man. And therefore in the representative sense the regeneration of man as to his natural is also here treated of, in which sense “Esau” is the good of the natural, and “Jacob” the truth thereof, and yet both Divine, because all the good and truth in one who is regenerate are from the Lord.
