創世記 40

Studie

   

1 これらの事のエジプト王の給仕役と料理役とがそのエジプト王に罪を犯した。

2 パロはふたりの役人、すなわち給仕役の長と料理役の長に向かって憤り、

3 侍衛長のの監禁所、すなわちヨセフがつながれている獄屋に入れた。

4 侍衛長はヨセフに命じて彼らと共におらせたので、ヨセフは彼らに仕えた。こうして彼らは監禁所で幾かを過ごした。

5 さて獄屋につながれたエジプト王の給仕役と料理役のふたりは一のうちにそれぞれ意味のある夢を見た

6 ヨセフが、彼らのところへ行って見ると、彼らは悲しみに沈んでいた。

7 そこでヨセフは自分と一緒に主人の監禁所にいるパロの役人たちに尋ねて言った、「どうして、きょう、あなたがたの色が悪いのですか」。

8 彼らは言った、「わたしたちはを見ましたが、解いてくれる者がいません」。ヨセフは彼らに言った、「解くことはによるのではありませんか。どうぞ、わたしに話してください」。

9 給仕役の長はそのをヨセフに話して言った、「わたしが見たで、わたしのに一本のぶどうの木がありました。

10 そのぶどうの木につの枝があって、芽を出し、花が咲き、ぶどうのふさが熟しました。

11 時にわたしのに、パロの杯があって、わたしはそのぶどうを取り、それをパロの杯にしぼり、その杯をパロのにささげました」。

12 ヨセフは言った、「その解き明かしはこうです。つの枝はです。

13 今からのうちにパロはあなたのを上げて、あなたを元の役目に返すでしょう。あなたはさきに給仕役だった時にされたように、パロのに杯をささげられるでしょう。

14 それで、あなたがしあわせになられたら、わたしを覚えていて、どうかわたしに恵みを施し、わたしの事をパロに話して、このからわたしを出してください。

15 わたしは、実はヘブルびとの地からさらわれてきた者です。またここでもわたしは地下の獄屋に入れられるような事はしなかったのです」。

16 料理役の長はその解き明かしの良かったのを見て、ヨセフに言った、「わたしも夢を見たが、白いパンのかごがつ、わたしのの上にあった。

17 一番上のかごには料理役がパロのために作ったさまざまの食物があったが、がわたしのの上のかごからそれを食べていた」。

18 ヨセフは答えて言った、「その解き明かしはこうです。つのかごはです。

19 今からのうちにパロはあなたのを上げ離して、あなたをに掛けるでしょう。そしてがあなたのを食い取るでしょう」。

20 さて目はパロの誕生であったので、パロはすべての家来のためにふるまいを設け、家来のうちの給仕役の長のと、料理役の長のを上げた。

21 すなわちパロは給仕役の長を給仕役の職に返したので、彼はパロの手に杯をささげた。

22 しかしパロは料理役の長を木に掛けた。ヨセフが彼らに解き明かしたとおりである。

23 ところが、給仕役の長はヨセフを思い出さず、忘れてしまった。

5097. 'And Joseph came to them in the morning" means that which was revealed and made clear to the celestial of the spiritual. This is clear from the representation of 'Joseph' as the celestial of the spiritual, dealt with in 4286, 4592, 4963, and from the meaning of 'the morning' as a state of enlightenment, dealt with in 3458, so that what was revealed and made clear is meant. The reason 'the morning' has these meanings is that all the periods of a day, like all the seasons of a year, mean the various states that arise owing to variations of the light of heaven. Variations of the light of heaven are not like the daily and annual variations of light in the world; they are variations of intelligence and love. For the light of heaven is nothing else than Divine Intelligence flowing from the Lord, which also shines before the eyes as light, while the warmth accompanying that light is the Lord's Divine Love, which is also felt as a radiated warmth. It is that light which provides a person with understanding, and that warmth which provides him with both vital heat and a will desiring what is good. In heaven morning is a state of enlightenment, of enlightenment in matters involving goodness and truth; and this state arises when there is an acknowledgement, more so when there is a perception that good is indeed good and truth is indeed truth. Perception is a revelation that takes place internally, and therefore 'the morning' means something that has been revealed. And because that which has previously been obscure is now made clear, 'the morning' as a consequence also means that which has been made clear.

[2] In addition to this, 'morning" in the highest sense means the Lord Himself, for the reason that the Lord is the sun from which all light in heaven flows; He is always a rising sun and so is always a morning one. He is rising always on everyone who receives truth that is the truth of faith and good that is the good of love; but He is setting on everyone who does not receive these. Not that the sun there ever sets, for as has been stated, it is always a rising one, but that anyone who does not receive that truth or good causes it so to speak to set on himself. This may be compared in some measure to the changes which the sun of the world undergoes so far as the inhabitants on earth are concerned. Here too the sun does not really set since it remains all the time in its own fixed position, from where it is constantly shedding light. Yet it does seem to set because the earth spins daily on its axis, and as it goes round it takes its inhabitants out of sight of the sun, see the first example given in 5084. Thus the sun does not actually go down but anyone inhabiting the earth is removed from its light. This comparison is used to illustrate a particular point; but the phenomenon referred to is in itself instructive because every detail of the natural creation is representative of the Lord's kingdom. The instruction held within that phenomenon is that a loss of the light of heaven, that is, of intelligence and wisdom, does not come about because the Lord, the Sun of intelligence and wisdom, sets on anyone. It comes about because the inhabitant of His kingdom takes himself away, that is, he allows hell to be his leader and so take him away.
