創世記 49

Studie

   

1 ヤコブはその子らを呼んで言った、「集まりなさい。後のに、あなたがたの上に起ることを、告げましょう、

2 ヤコブの子らよ、集まって聞け。父イスラエルのことばを聞け。

3 ルベンよ、あなたはわが長子、わが勢い、わが力のはじめ、威光のすぐれた者、権力のすぐれた者。

4 しかし、沸き立つのようだから、もはや、すぐれた者ではあり得ない。あなたは父の床上って汚した。ああ、あなたはわが寝床上った。

5 シメオンとレビとは兄弟。彼らのつるぎは暴虐の武器。

6 わがよ、彼らの会議に臨むな。わが栄えよ、彼らのつどいに連なるな。彼らは怒りに任せて人を殺し、ほしいままに雄牛の足の筋を切った。

7 彼らの怒りは、激しいゆえにのろわれ、彼らの憤りは、はなはだしいゆえにのろわれる。わたしは彼らをヤコブのうちに分け、イスラエルのうちに散らそう。

8 ユダよ、兄弟たちはあなたをほめる。あなたののくびを押え、父のらはあなたの前に身をかがめるであろう。

9 ユダは、ししの。わがよ、あなたは獲物をもって上って来る。彼は雄じしのようにうずくまり、雌じしのように身を伏せる。だれがこれを起すことができよう。

10 つえはユダを離れず、立法者のつえはそのの間を離れることなく、シロ来る時までに及ぶであろう。もろもろの民は彼に従う。

11 彼はそのろばのぶどうの木につなぎ、その雌ろばのを良きぶどうの木につなぐ。彼はその衣服ぶどう酒で洗い、その着物をぶどうの汁で洗うであろう。

12 そのぶどう酒によって赤く、そのは乳によって白い

13 ゼブルンはべに住み、舟の泊まる港となって、その境はシドンに及ぶであろう。

14 イッサカルはたくましいろば、彼は羊のおりの間に伏している。

15 彼は定住の地を見て良しとし、その見て楽しとした。彼はその肩を下げてにない、奴隷となって追い使われる。

16 ダンはおのれの民をさばくであろう、イスラエルのほかの部族のように。

17 ダンのかたわらのへび、のほとりのまむし。かかとをかんで、乗る者をうしろに落すであろう。

18 よ、わたしはあなたの救を待ち望む。

19 ガドには略奪者が迫る。しかし彼はかえって敵のかかとに迫るであろう。

20 アセルはその食物がゆたかで、王の美味をいだすであろう。

21 ナフタリは放たれた雌じか、彼は美しい子じかを生むであろう。

22 ヨセフは実を結ぶ若木、のほとりの実を結ぶ若木。その枝は、かきねを越えるであろう。

23 射る者は彼を激しく攻め、彼を射、彼をいたく悩ました。

24 しかし彼のはなお強く、彼のは素早い。これはヤコブの全能者のにより、イスラエルの岩なる牧者の名により、

25 あなたを助ける父の神により、また上なる天の祝福下に横たわる淵の祝福ぶさと胎の祝福をもって、あなたを恵まれる全能者による。

26 あなたの父の祝福は永遠の山の祝福にまさり、永久の丘の賜物にまさる。これらの祝福はヨセフのかしらに帰し、その兄弟たちの君たる者のの頂に帰する。

27 ベニヤミンはかき裂くおおかみ、にその獲物を食らい、夕にその分捕物を分けるであろう」。

28 すべてこれらはイスラエルの十二の部族である。そしてこれは彼らの父が彼らに語り、彼らを祝福したもので、彼は祝福すべきところに従って、彼らおのおのを祝福した。

29 彼はまた彼らに命じて言った、「わたしはわが民に加えられようとしている。あなたがたはヘテびとエフロンにあるほら穴に、わたしの先祖たちと共にわたしを葬ってください。

30 そのほら穴はカナンの地のマムレの東にあるマクペラのにあり、アブラハムがヘテびとエフロンからと共に買い取り、所有の地としたもので、

31 そこにアブラハムサラとが葬られ、イサクとリベカもそこに葬られたが、わたしはまたそこにレアを葬った。

32 あのとその中にあるほら穴とはヘテの人々から買ったものです」。

33 こうしてヤコブは子らに命じ終って、を床におさめ、息絶えて、その民に加えられた。

6451. I am being gathered unto my people. That this signifies that he would be in the goods and truths of the natural which are from him, is evident from the representation of the sons of Israel and of the tribes named from them, which are here “his people,” as being goods and truths in the natural (see n. 3858, 3926, 3939, 5414, 5879, 5951, 6335, 6337), and that these are from him is evident; and from the signification of “being gathered to that people,” as being to be in these things. As the subject treated of here and in what follows is the gathering or coming forth of spiritual good, which is “Israel,” in the goods and truths of the natural, which are his “sons” or the tribes named after them, it must be told how this is to be understood.

[2] In man there is what is inmost, there are interior things under the inmost, and there are exterior things. All these are most exactly distinct; they succeed in order, thus from the inmost down to the outermost; according to the order in which they succeed, they also flow in; hence it is that life flows through the inmost into the interiors, and through the interiors into the exteriors, thus according to the order in which they succeed; and it does not rest except in the ultimate of order, where it stops. And as the interior things flow in according to order down to the ultimate, and there stop, it is evident that the interior things are together in the ultimate, but in this order: the inmost, which has flowed in, holds the center; the interior things which are under the inmost encompass the center; and the exterior things make the circumference; and this not only in general, but also in every detail. The former order is called “successive order,” and the latter “simultaneous order;” and this latter order originates from the former; for in every case the simultaneous has its origin in the successive, and when it has thus originated it exists so.

[3] As all the interiors are together in the ultimate, therefore the appearance is as if life were in the ultimate, that is, in the body; when yet it is in the interiors, nor yet there, but in the highest, that is, in the Lord, from whom is the all of life. Hence also it is that life in the exteriors is obscure compared with life in the interiors; for in the exteriors the life is general, coming forth from the influx of many, nay, of innumerable things from the interiors, which appear together and in general. Thus now it is in some measure plain how it is to be understood that spiritual good which is “Israel” must be in the goods and truths of the natural, which are his sons or tribes; for spiritual good which is “Israel” is in the interior of the natural, and the goods and truths which are his sons are in its exterior. That spiritual good must be in these is signified by “I am being gathered unto my people.”

Arcana Coelestia # 3939

3939. And she called his name Asher. That this signifies its quality, is evident from the signification of “calling a name,” as being quality-as above. The quality itself is that which Asher represents. “Asher” in the original language means “blessedness;” but the name involves all that is signified by the words of his mother Leah—“in my blessedness; for the daughters will call me blessed,” namely, the delight of the affections which corresponds to the happiness of eternal life. This is the fourth general principle that conjoins the external man with the internal; for when a man perceives this corresponding delight within himself, his external man is then beginning to be conjoined with his internal man. It is the delights of the affections of truth and good that conjoin them; for without the delights of the affections nothing is conjoined, because the man’s life is in them. (That all conjunction is through the affections, see n. 3024, 3066, 3336, 3849, 3909.) By the “daughters who call her blessed” are signified churches. (That in the internal sense of the Word “daughters” signify churches see n. 2362.) This was said by Leah because by the births from the handmaids are signified the general truths which are the means that are of service for conjunction, to the intent that the church may come forth in the man. For when a man perceives this delight or affection, he is beginning to become a church; and this being the case this is said of the fourth or last son of the handmaids.

[2] “Asher” is often named in the Word, but by him, as well as by the other sons, is signified the quality then treated of, that is, the quality of those in that state which is the subject there treated of; and the quality is also according to the order in which the sons are named, being of one kind when the order begins with “Reuben” or faith, of another when it begins with “Judah” or celestial love, and of another when with “Joseph” or spiritual love; for the essence and quality of that which is first is derived and passes on into the things which follow. This is the ground of their varying significations in the places where they are named. Here, where their birth is treated of, the general principles of the church are signified by them; and consequently all things of faith and love that make the church; and this for the reason that in what goes before, the regeneration of man is treated of, or man’s states before he becomes a church; and in the supreme sense the Lord—how He made His Human Divine; and thus the ascent of the ladder which was seen by Jacob in Bethel, even to Jehovah.
