1 Mózes 39

Studie

   

1 József pedig aláviteték Égyiptomba és megvevé õt az Ismáelitáktól, kik õt oda vitték vala, egy égyiptomi ember Pótifár, a Faraó fõembere, a testõrök fõhadnagya.

2 És az Úr Józseffel vala, és szerencsés ember vala és az õ égyiptomi urának házában vala.

3 Látá pedig az õ ura, hogy az Úr van õ vele, és hogy valamit cselekszik, az Úr mindent szerencséssé tesz az õ kezében:

4 Kedvessé lõn azért József az õ ura elõtt, és szolgál vala néki; és háza felvigyázójává tevé, és mindenét, a mije vala, kezére bízá.

5 És lõn az idõtõl fogva, hogy házának és a mije volt, mindenének gondviselõjévé tevé, megáldá az Úr az égyiptomi embernek házát Józsefért; és az Úr áldása vala mindenen, a mije csak volt a házban és a mezõn.

6 Mindent azért valamije vala József kezére bíza; és semmire sem vala gondja mellette, hanem ha az ételre, melyet megeszik vala. József pedig szép termetû és szép arczú vala.

7 És lõn ezek után, hogy az õ urának felesége Józsefre veté szemeit, és monda: Hálj velem.

8 Õ azonban vonakodék s monda az õ ura feleségének: Ímé az én uramnak én mellettem semmi gondja nincs az õ háza dolgaira, és a mije van, mindenét az én kezemre bízá.

9 Senki sincs nálamnál nagyobb az õ házában; és tõlem semmit sem tiltott meg, hanem csak téged, mivelhogy te felesége vagy; hogy követhetném hát el ezt a nagy gonoszságot és [hogyan] vétkezném az Isten ellen?

10 És lõn, hogy az asszony mindennap azt mondogatá Józsefnek, de õ nem hallgata reá, hogy vele háljon és vele egyesüljön.

11 Lõn azért egy napon, hogy valami dolgát végezni a házba beméne, és a háznép közûl senki sem vala ott benn a házban,

12 És megragadá õt ruhájánál fogva, mondván: Hálj velem. Õ pedig ott hagyá ruháját az [asszony] kezében és elfuta és kiméne.

13 És mikor látja vala az [asszony], hogy az a maga ruháját az õ kezében hagyta, és kifutott:

14 Összehívá a háznépet és szóla hozzájuk, mondván: Lássátok, héber embert hozott hozzánk, hogy megcsúfoljon bennünket. Bejött hozzám, hogy velem háljon, s én fenszóval kiálték.

15 És lõn, a mint hallja vala, hogy fenszóval kezdék kiáltani, ruháját nálam hagyá és elfuta és kiméne.

16 Megtartá azért az õ ruháját magánál, míg az õ ura haza jöve.

17 S ilyen szókkal szóla hozzá, mondván: Bejöve hozzám a héber szolga, a kit ide hoztál, hogy szégyent hozzon reám.

18 És mikor fenszóval kezdtem kiáltani, ruháját nálam hagyá és kifuta.

19 És lõn, a mint hallja az õ ura az õ feleségének beszédeit, melyeket néki beszélt, mondván: Ilyesmiket tett velem a te szolgád; haragra gerjede.

20 Vevé azért Józsefet az õ ura és veté õt a tömlöczbe, melyben a király foglyai valának fogva, és ott vala a tömlöczben.

21 De az Úr Józseffel vala, és kiterjeszté reá az õ kegyelmességét és kedvessé tevé õt a tömlöcztartó elõtt.

22 És a tömlöcztartó mind azokat a foglyokat, kik a tömlöczben valának, József kezébe adá, úgyhogy a mi ott történik vala, minden õ általa történék.

23 És semmi gondja nem vala a tömlöcztartónak azokra, a melyek keze alatt valának, mivelhogy az Úr vala [Józseffel], és valamit cselekeszik vala, az Úr szerencséssé teszi vala.

Exploring the Meaning of Genesis 39

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 4960. In the internal sense here the subject treated of is the Lord, how He made His internal man Divine. "Jacob" was the external man, as described in the preceding chapters; "Joseph" is the internal man, as described in this and the following chapters.

AC 4961. And because this was done according to Divine order, this order is here described; and also temptation, which is the means of conjunction.

4960. Genesis 39

1. And Joseph was made to go down to Egypt, and Potiphar bought him - Pharaoh's bedchamber servant, the chief of the attendants, an Egyptian man - from the hand of the Ishmaelites who made him go down there.

2. And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his lord the Egyptian.

3. And his lord saw that Jehovah was with him, and everything that he did Jehovah made to prosper in his hand.

4. And Joseph found favour in his eyes, and ministered to him; and he put him in charge over his house, and whatever he had he gave into his hand.

5. And it happened from the time he put him in charge in his house and over all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was on all that he had in the house and in the field.

6. And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand, and did not concern himself with anything 1 except the bread that he ate. And Joseph was beautiful in form and beautiful in appearance.

7. And it happened after these events, that his lord's wife lifted up her eyes towards Joseph and said, Lie with me.

8. And he refused and said to his lord's wife, Behold, my lord does not concern himself with anything 2 in the house, and all that he has he has given into my hand.

9. He himself is no greater in this house than I am, and he has not held back anything from me except yourself, in that you are his wife. How then shall I do this great evil, and sin against God?

10. And it happened as she spoke to Joseph day after day, that he did not listen to her, to lie with her, to be with her.

11. And it happened on a certain day, that he went to the house to do his work, and none of the men 3 of the house was there in the house.

12. And she took hold of him by his garment, saying, Lie with me. And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went out of doors.

13. And it happened as she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled out of doors,

14. That she cried out to the men of her house, and said to them - she said, See, he has brought us a Hebrew man to make sport of us. He came to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.

15. And it happened as he was hearing [me], that I lifted up my voice and cried out, and he left his garment with me, and fled, and went out of doors.

16. And she kept his garment with her until his lord came to his house.

17. And she spoke to him in 4 these words, saying, The Hebrew slave whom you have brought to us came to me, to make sport of me.

18. And it happened as I lifted up my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled out of doors.

19. And it happened - as his lord heard his wife's words which she spoke to him, saying, This is what 5 your slave did to me - that his anger flared up.

20. And Joseph's lord took him and committed him to the prison-house, a place where the king's bound ones were bound; and he was there in the prison-house.

21. And Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed mercy to him, and gave him favour in the eyes of the governor 6 of the prison-house.

22. And the governor 6 of the prison-house gave into Joseph's hand all the bound who were in the prison-house; and everything they did there, he was the doer of it. 7

23. The governor of the prison-house oversaw nothing whatever that was in his hand, in that Jehovah was with him; and whatever he did, Jehovah made it prosper.

CONTENTS

The internal sense deals here with the way in which the Lord made His Internal Man Divine. 'Jacob' was the External Man, the subject in preceding chapters, now 'Joseph' is the Internal Man, the subject in the present chapter and those that follow it.
