1 Και ειδεν ο Ιακωβ οτι ευρισκετο σιτος εν Αιγυπτω· και ειπεν ο Ιακωβ προς τους υιους αυτου, Τι βλεπετε ο εις τον αλλον;

2 Και ειπεν, Ιδου, ηκουσα οτι ευρισκεται σιτος εν Αιγυπτω· καταβητε εκει και αγορασατε δι' ημας εκειθεν, δια να ζησωμεν και να μη αποθανωμεν.

3 Και κατεβησαν οι δεκα αδελφοι του Ιωσηφ δια να αγορασωσι σιτον εξ Αιγυπτου.

4 τον Βενιαμιν ομως, τον αδελφον του Ιωσηφ, δεν απεστειλεν ο Ιακωβ μετα των αδελφων αυτου· διοτι ειπε, Μηπως συμβη εις αυτον συμφορα.

5 Και ηλθον οι υιοι του Ισραηλ δια να αγορασωσι σιτον μεταξυ των εκει ερχομενων· διοτι η πεινα ητο εν τη γη Χανααν.

6 Ο Ιωσηφ δε ητο ο διοικητης του τοπου· αυτος επωλει εις παντα τον λαον του τοπου· ηλθον λοιπον οι αδελφοι του Ιωσηφ και προσεκυνησαν αυτον επι προσωπον εως εδαφους.

7 Ιδων δε ο Ιωσηφ τους αδελφους αυτου, εγνωρισεν αυτους· προσεποιηθη ομως τον ξενον προς αυτους και ελαλει προς αυτους σκληρα· και ειπε προς αυτους, Ποθεν ερχεσθε; οι δε ειπον, Εκ της γης Χανααν, δια να αγορασωμεν τροφας.

8 Και ο μεν Ιωσηφ εγνωρισε τους αδελφους αυτου· εκεινοι ομως δεν εγνωρισαν αυτον.

9 Και ενεθυμηθη ο Ιωσηφ τα ενυπνια, τα οποια ενυπνιασθη περι αυτων· και ειπε προς αυτους, Κατασκοποι εισθε· ηλθετε να παρατηρησητε τα γυμνα του τοπου.

10 Οι δε ειπον προς αυτον, Ουχι, κυριε μου· αλλ' ηλθομεν οι δουλοι σου δια να αγορασωμεν τροφας·

11 ημεις παντες ειμεθα υιοι ενος ανθρωπου· καλοι ανθρωποι ειμεθα· οι δουλοι σου δεν ειναι κατασκοποι.

12 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Ουχι, αλλα τα γυμνα του τοπου ηλθετε δια να παρατηρησητε.

13 Οι δε ειπον, Οι δουλοι σου ειμεθα δωδεκα αδελφοι, υιοι ενος ανθρωπου εν τη γη Χανααν· και ιδου, ο νεωτερος ευρισκεται σημερον μετα του πατρος ημων, ο δε αλλος δεν υπαρχει.

14 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιωσηφ, τουτο ειναι το οποιον σας ειπα λεγων, Κατασκοποι εισθε.

15 Με τουτο θελετε δοκιμασθη· Μα την ζωην του Φαραω δεν θελετε εξελθει εντευθεν, εαν δεν ελθη εδω ο αδελφος σας ο νεωτερος·

16 αποστειλατε ενα απο σας και ας φερη τον αδελφον σας· σεις δε θελετε μενει δεσμιοι, εωσου αποδειχθωσιν οι λογοι σας, αν λεγητε την αληθειαν· ει δε μη, μα την ζωην του Φαραω, κατασκοποι βεβαιως εισθε.

17 Και εθεσεν αυτους υπο φυλαξιν τρεις ημερας.

18 Και την τριτην ημεραν ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιωσηφ, τουτο καμετε και θελετε ζησει διοτι εγω φοβουμαι τον Θεον·

19 Εαν ησθε καλοι, εις εκ των αδελφων σας ας μεινη δεσμιος εν τη φυλακη, οπου εισθε· σεις δε υπαγετε, λαβετε σιτον δια την πειναν των οικιων σας·

20 φερετε ομως προς εμε τον αδελφον σας τον νεωτερον· ουτω θελουσιν αληθευσει οι λογοι σας και δεν θελετε αποθανει. Και εκαμον ουτω.

21 Και ειπεν ο εις προς τον αλλον, Αληθως ενοχοι ειμεθα δια τον αδελφον ημων, καθοτι ειδομεν την θλιψιν της ψυχης αυτου, οτε παρεκαλει ημας και δεν εισηκουσαμεν αυτου· δια τουτο επηλθεν εφ' ημας η θλιψις αυτη.

22 Απεκριθη δε ο Ρουβην προς αυτους λεγων, Δεν ειπον προς εσας λεγων, Μη αμαρτησητε κατα του παιδιου, και δεν εισηκουσατε; δια τουτο, ιδου, και το αιμα αυτου εκζητειται.

23 Και αυτοι δεν ηξευρον οτι ενοει ο Ιωσηφ· διοτι συνωμιλουν δι' ερμηνεως.

24 Και συρθεις απο πλησιον αυτων εκλαυσε· και παλιν επεστρεψε προς αυτους και ελαλει εις αυτους· και ελαβεν εξ αυτων τον Συμεων και εδεσεν αυτον ενωπιον αυτων.

25 Τοτε προσεταξεν ο Ιωσηφ να γεμισωσι τα αγγεια αυτων σιτον και να επιστρεψωσι το αργυριον εκαστου εν τω σακκιω αυτου και να δωσωσιν εις αυτους ζωοτροφιαν δια την οδον· και εγεινεν εις αυτους ουτω.

26 Και φορτωσαντες τον σιτον αυτων επι τους ονους αυτων, ανεχωρησαν εκειθεν.

27 Οτε δε εις εξ αυτων ελυσε το σακκιον αυτου, δια να δωση εις τον ονον αυτου τροφην εν τω καταλυματι, ειδε το αργυριον αυτου, και ιδου, ητο εν τω στοματι του σακκιου αυτου.

28 Και ειπε προς τους αδελφους αυτου, το αργυριον μου μοι εδοθη οπισω και μαλιστα ιδου, ειναι εν τω σακκιω μου· και εξεπλαγη η καρδια αυτων και συνεταραχθησαν, λεγοντες προς αλληλους, Τι ειναι τουτο, το οποιον μας εκαμεν ο Θεος;

29 Ηλθον δε προς Ιακωβ τον πατερα αυτων εις την γην Χανααν και απηγγειλαν προς αυτον παντα τα συμβαντα εις αυτους, λεγοντες,

30 Ο ανθρωπος, ο κυριος του τοπου, ελαλησε προς ημας σκληρα και εξελαβεν ημας ως κατασκοπους του τοπου.

31 Και ειπομεν εις αυτον, Ειμεθα καλοι ανθρωποι δεν ειμεθα κατασκοποι·

32 δωδεκα αδελφοι ειμεθα, υιοι του πατρος ημων· ο εις δεν υπαρχει ο δε νεωτερος ειναι την σημερον μετα του πατρος ημων εν τη γη Χανααν.

33 Ειπε δε προς ημας ο ανθρωπος, ο κυριος του τοπου, Με τουτο θελω γνωρισει οτι εισθε καλοι ανθρωποι· ενα εκ των αδελφων σας αφησατε μετ' εμου, και λαβοντες σιτον δια την πειναν των οικιων σας απελθετε·

34 και φερετε προς εμε τον αδελφον σας τον νεωτερον· τοτε θελω γνωρισει οτι δεν εισθε κατασκοποι, αλλ' εισθε καλοι· και θελω σας αποδωσει τον αδελφον σας και θελετε εμπορευεσθαι εν τω τοπω.

35 Και οτε εκενουν τα σακκια αυτων, ιδου, εκαστου το κομβοδεμα του αργυριου ητο εν τω σακκιω αυτου· και ιδοντες αυτοι και ο πατηρ αυτων τα κομβοδεματα του αργυριου αυτων, εφοβηθησαν.

36 Και ειπε προς αυτους Ιακωβ ο πατηρ αυτων, Σεις με ητεκνωσατε· ο Ιωσηφ δεν υπαρχει και ο Συμεων δεν υπαρχει, και τον Βενιαμιν θελετε λαβει επ' εμε ηλθον παντα ταυτα.

37 Ειπε δε ο Ρουβην προς τον πατερα αυτου λεγων, τους δυο υιους μου θανατωσον, εαν δεν φερω αυτον προς σε· παραδος αυτον εις την χειρα μου και εγω θελω επαναφερει αυτον προς σε.

38 Ο δε ειπε, δεν θελει καταβη ο υιος μου μεθ' υμων· διοτι ο αδελφος αυτου απεθανε και αυτος μονος εμεινε· και εαν συμβη εις αυτον συμφορα εν τη οδω, οπου υπαγετε, τοτε θελετε καταβιβασει την πολιαν μου μετα λυπης εις τον ταφον.

Exploring the Meaning of Genesis 42

Napsal(a) New Christian Bible Study Staff

Here are some excerpts from Swedenborg's "Arcana Coelestia" that help explain the inner meaning of this chapter:

AC 5396a. In the latter part of the last chapter the subject treated of was the influx and conjunction of the celestial of the spiritual with the memory-knowledges in the natural; and now the subject treated of is the influx and conjunction of the celestial of the spiritual with the truths of faith therein which are of the church.

AC 5397. First is described the endeavor to appropriate these truths by means of the memory-knowledges of the church, which are "Egypt," and without the intermediate, which is "Benjamin," together with truth from the Divine, which is "Joseph;" but in vain, wherefore they were sent back and come good of natural truth was given freely.

5397. Genesis 42

1. And Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt; and Jacob said to his sons, Why do you look at one another?

2. And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt; go down there, and buy for us from there, and let us live and not die.

3. And Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.

4. And Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob did not send with his brothers, for he said, Perhaps harm may come to him.

5. And the sons of Israel came to buy in the midst of others who came; for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

6. And Joseph, he was the governor over the land, he was selling to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came and bowed down to him, faces to the earth.

7. And Joseph saw his brothers, and recognized them; and he acted as a stranger to them, and spoke hard words to them, and said to them, Where have you come from? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to buy food.

8. And Joseph recognized his brothers, and they did not recognize him.

9. And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed involving them; and he said to them, You are spies; you have come to see the nakedness of the land.

10. And they said to him, No, my lord; and your servants come to buy food.

11. All we, the sons of one man are we. We are upright men; your servants are not spies.

12. And he said to them, No, but the nakedness of the land you have come to see.

13. And they said, Twelve are your servants, brothers are we, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is with our father today, and one is not.

14. And Joseph said to them, It is as I spoke to you, saying, You are spies.

15. In this manner you will be tested: As sure as Pharaoh lives, 1 you shall not go out of here unless your youngest brother comes here.

16. Send one of you and let him fetch your brother; and you will be in bonds, and your words will be tested, whether the truth is with you. And if not, as sure as Pharaoh lives, 1 you are spies.

17. And he shut them up in custody for three days.

18. And Joseph said to them on the third day, Do this and you will live, [for] I fear God:

19. If you are upright men, let one brother among you be in bonds in the house of your custody, and you, go, take corn for the famine of your houses.

20. And bring your youngest brother to me, and your words will be verified, and you will not die. And they did so.

21. And they said, a man to his brother, Assuredly we are guilty concerning our brother, whose anguish of soul we saw when he pleaded with us and we did not hear; therefore this anguish has come to us.

22. And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not say to you, saying, Do not sin against the boy - and you did not listen? And also, his blood; behold, it is required.

23. And they did not know that Joseph was hearing, because the interpreter was between them.

24. And he turned away from them and wept; and he came back to them and spoke to them; and he took Simeon from them, and bound him before their eyes.

25. And Joseph gave the command to fill 2 their vessels with grain, and to restore their silver, each man's in his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and thus he did for them.

26. And they loaded their corn onto their asses, and went from there.

27. And one opened his sack to give fodder to his ass, in a lodging-place, and he saw his silver, and behold, it was in the mouth of his pouch.

28. And he said to his brothers, My silver has been restored, and also behold, it is in my pouch. And their heart went out of them, and they trembled [turning] a man to his brother, saying, What is this that God has done to us?

29. And they came to Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan; and they pointed out to him all that was happening to them, saying,

30. The man, the lord of the land, spoke hard words to us, and took us for men spying out the land.

31. And we said to him, We are upright men; we are not spies.

32. Twelve are we, brothers, the sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is today with our father in the land of Canaan.

33. And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, By this I shall know that you are upright men: Cause one brother among you to remain with me, and take [food for] the famine of your houses, and go.

34. And bring your youngest brother to me, and I shall know that you are not spies, that you are upright men; I will give you your brother, and you will wander through the land, trading.

35. And so it was, as they were emptying their sacks, that behold, each man's bundle of silver was in his sack; and they saw their bundles of silver, they and their father, and they were afraid.

36. And Jacob their father said to them, You have bereaved me [of my children]; Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and you take Benjamin. All these things will be upon me.

37. And Reuben said to his father - he said, Make my two sons die if I do not bring him back to you; give him into my hand, and I will bring him back to you.

38. And he said, My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he, he alone, is left. And should harm happen to him on the road on which you go, you will cause my grey hair to go down in sorrow to the grave.

CONTENTS

3 The subject at the end of the previous chapter was the influx of the celestial of the spiritual into the known facts present in the natural and the joining of it to these. Now the subject is the influx of the celestial of the spiritual into the truths of faith there which are known to the Church and the joining of it to those truths. Dealt with first is the attempt to gain possession of these truths through the facts known to the Church, which are 'Egypt', and to do so without the intermediary, which is 'Benjamin', along with truth from the Divine, which is 'Joseph'. But this was a failure, and therefore they were returned to where they came from, together with a measure of the good of natural truth freely given.

1. literally, May Pharaoh live!

2. literally, And Joseph commanded, and they [his servants?] filled

3. NCBSP Editors Note: Swedenborg's numbering is slightly confused here; this paragraph is sometimes numbered as 5396[a], but it seems to fit here at the end of 5397.
