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。

5157. 'And the birds will eat your flesh from upon you' means that falsity originating in evil will consume every one of those sensory impressions. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as consuming, dealt with above in 5149; from the meaning of 'the birds' as falsity, also dealt with above in 5149; from the meaning of 'flesh' as good, dealt with in 3812, 3813, and therefore in the contrary sense as evil (for most things in the Word also have a contrary sense, which is discerned from their meaning in the genuine sense); and from the meaning of 'from upon you as from the sensory impressions subject to the will part, since those impressions are represented by 'the baker', 5078, 5082. The fact that these were evil and had therefore to be cast aside is clear from what has gone before.

[2] The significance of all this - that the sensory impressions subject to the understanding part, which are represented by 'the cupbearer', were retained, whereas those subject to the will part, which are represented by 'the baker', were cast aside - is an arcanum that is completely unintelligible unless it has light shed on it. Let the following serve to shed some such light. By sensory impressions are meant those known facts and those delights which have been introduced through the five external or bodily senses into a person's memory and into his longings, and which together constitute the exterior natural, by virtue of which a person is called one governed by the senses. The facts are subject to the understanding part of his mind, whereas the delights are subject to the will part. Also, the facts link up with the truths which belong to the understanding, while the delights link up with the forms of good which belong to the will. The former are represented by 'the cupbearer' and were retained, but the latter are represented by 'the baker' and were cast aside.

[3] The reason those known facts were retained is that in time they were able to accord with ideas in the understanding; but the reason the delights were cast aside is that they were by no means able to accord with what was in the will. For the will within the Lord, who is the subject in the highest internal sense, was from conception Divine and was the Divine Good itself; but the will received through His birth from His mother was evil and therefore had to be cast aside, and a new will had to be acquired in place of it. This new will was to be acquired from the Divine Will through the [Divine] Understanding, that is, from Divine Good through Divine Truth, and so was acquired by His own power. This is the arcanum which is described here in the internal sense.
