創世記 47

Studie

   

1 ヨセフは行って、パロに言った、「わたしの父と兄弟たち、その、牛およびすべての持ち物がカナンの地からきて、今ゴセンの地におります」。

2 そしてその兄弟のうちの五人を連れて行って、パロに会わせた。

3 パロはヨセフの兄弟たちに言った、「あなたがたの職業は何か」。彼らはパロに言った、「しもべらはを飼う者です。われわれも、われわれの先祖もそうです」。

4 彼らはまたパロに言った、「このに寄留しようとしてきました。カナンの地はききんが激しく、しもべらの群れのための牧がないのです。どうかしもべらをゴセンの地に住ませてください」。

5 パロはヨセフに言った、「あなたの父と兄弟たちとがあなたのところにきた。

6 エジプトの地はあなたのにある。地の最も良い所にあなたの父と兄弟たちとを住ませなさい。ゴセンの地に彼らを住ませなさい。もしあなたが彼らのうちに有能な者があるのを知っているなら、その者にわたしの家畜をつかさどらせなさい」。

7 そこでヨセフは父ヤコブを導いてパロのに立たせた。ヤコブはパロを祝福した。

8 パロはヤコブに言った、「あなたの年はいくつか」。

9 ヤコブはパロに言った、「わたしの旅路のとしつきは、三十年です。わたしのよわいのはわずかで、ふしあわせで、わたしの先祖たちのよわいのと旅路のには及びません」。

10 ヤコブはパロを祝福し、パロのを去った。

11 ヨセフはパロの命じたように、父と兄弟たちとのすまいを定め、彼らにエジプトで最も良い地、ラメセスの地を所有として与えた。

12 またヨセフは父と兄弟たちと父の全とに、族の数にしたがい、食物を与えて養った。

13 さて、ききんが非常に激しかったので、全地に食物がなく、エジプトカナンも、ききんのために衰えた。

14 それでヨセフは人々が買った穀物の代金としてエジプトカナンにあったをみな集め、そのをパロのに納めた。

15 こうしてエジプトカナンが尽きたとき、エジプトびとはみなヨセフのもとにきて言った、「食物をください。が尽きたからとて、どうしてあなたの前で死んでよいでしょう」。

16 ヨセフは言った、「あなたがたの家畜を出しなさい。が尽きたのなら、あなたがたの家畜と引き替えで食物をわたそう」。

17 彼らはヨセフの所へ家畜をひいてきたので、ヨセフは群れ群れ及びろばと引き替えで、食物を彼らにわたした。こうして彼はその年、すべての家畜と引き替えた食物で彼らを養った。

18 やがてその年は暮れ、次の年、人々はまたヨセフの所へきて言った、「わがには何事も隠しません。われわれのは尽き、群れもわがのものになって、われわれのからだと田地のほかはわがに何も残っていません。

19 われわれはどうして田地と一緒に、あなたので滅んでよいでしょう。われわれと田地とを食物と引き替えで買ってください。われわれは田地と一緒にパロの奴隷となりましょう。また種をください。そうすればわれわれは生きながらえ、死を免れて、田地も荒れないでしょう」。

20 そこでヨセフはエジプトの田地をみなパロのために買い取った。ききんがエジプトびとに、きびしかったので、めいめいその田売ったからである。こうして地はパロのものとなった。

21 そしてヨセフはエジプト国境のこの端からかの端まで民を奴隷とした。

22 ただ祭司の田地は買い取らなかった。祭司にはパロの給与があって、パロが与える給与で生活していたので、その田地を売らなかったからである。

23 ヨセフは民に言った、「わたしはきょう、あなたがたとその田地とを買い取って、パロのものとした。あなたがたに種をあげるから地にまきなさい。

24 収穫の時は、その五分の一をパロに納め、五分の自分のものとして田の種とし、自分と族の食糧とし、また子供の食糧としなさい」。

25 彼らは言った、「あなたはわれわれの命をお救いくださった。どうかわがの前に恵みを得させてください。われわれはパロの奴隷になりましょう」。

26 ヨセフはエジプトの田地について、収穫の五分の一をパロに納めることをおきてとしたが、それは今日に及んでいる。ただし祭司の田地だけはパロのものとならなかった。

27 さてイスラエルエジプトゴセンの地に住み、そこで財産を得、子を生み、大いにふえた。

28 ヤコブはエジプトで十七年生きながらえた。ヤコブのよわいの四十七年であった。

29 イスラエル死ぬ時が近づいたので、そのヨセフを呼んで言った、「もしわたしがあなたの前に恵みを得るなら、どうかをわたしのももの下に入れて誓い、親切と誠実とをもってわたしを取り扱ってください。どうかわたしをエジプトには葬らないでください。

30 わたしが先祖たちと共に眠るときには、わたしをエジプトから運び出して先祖たちの墓に葬ってください」。ヨセフは言った、「あなたの言われたようにいたします」。

31 ヤコブがまた、「わたしに誓ってください」と言ったので、彼は誓ったイスラエルは床のかしらで拝んだ。

6111. 'And the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished from the presence of the famine' means that this was so in the natural where factual knowledge resides, and within the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt' as the natural mind where factual knowledge resides, dealt with in 5276, 5278, 5280, 5288, 5701; from the meaning of 'the land of Canaan' as the Church, dealt with above in 6067; and from the meaning of 'the famine' as desolation, as immediately above in 6110. From these meanings it is evident that 'the land of Egypt languished, and the land of Canaan, from the presence of the famine' means that there is desolation in the natural where factual knowledge resides, and within the Church.

Genesis 47

Studie

   

1 Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen."

2 From among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.

3 Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" They said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers."

4 They said to Pharaoh, "We have come to live as foreigners in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants' flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen."

5 Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, "Your father and your brothers have come to you.

6 The land of Egypt is before you. Make your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock."

7 Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

8 Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many are the days of the years of your life?"

9 Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage."

10 Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.

11 Joseph placed his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

12 Joseph nourished his father, his brothers, and all of his father's household, with bread, according to their families.

13 There was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.

14 Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.

15 When the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, "Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For our money fails."

16 Joseph said, "Give me your livestock; and I will Give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone."

17 They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock for that year.

18 When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord's. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.

19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won't be desolate."

20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Pharaoh's.

21 As for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it.

22 Only he didn't buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. That is why they didn't sell their land.

23 Then Joseph said to the people, "Behold, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.

24 It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field, for your food, for them of your households, and for food for your little ones."

25 They said, "You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants."

26 Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone didn't become Pharaoh's.

27 Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.

28 Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty-seven years.

29 The time drew near that Israel must die, and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please don't bury me in Egypt,

30 but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place." He said, "I will do as you have said."

31 He said, "Swear to me," and he swore to him. Israel bowed himself on the bed's head.
