Genesis 50

Studie

   

1 Quod cernens Joseph, ruit super faciem patris, flens et deosculans eum.

2 Præcepitque servis suis medicis ut aromatibus condirent patrem.

3 Quibus jussa explentibus, transierunt quadraginta dies : iste quippe mos erat cadaverum conditorum : flevitque eum Ægyptus septuaginta diebus.

4 Et expleto planctus tempore, locutus est Joseph ad familiam Pharaonis : Si inveni gratiam in conspectu vestro, loquimini in auribus Pharaonis :

5 eo quod pater meus adjuraverit me dicens : En morior : in sepulchro meo, quod fodi mihi in terra Chanaan, sepelies me. Ascendam igitur, et sepeliam patrem meum, ac revertar.

6 Dixitque ei Pharao : Ascende, et sepeli patrem tuum sicut adjuratus es.

7 Quo ascendente, ierunt cum eo omnes senes domus Pharaonis, cunctique majores natu terræ Ægypti :

8 domus Joseph cum fratribus suis, absque parvulis, et gregibus atque armentis, quæ dereliquerant in terra Gessen.

9 Habuit quoque in comitatu currus et equites : et facta est turba non modica.

10 Veneruntque ad Aream Atad, quæ sita est trans Jordanem : ubi celebrantes exequias planctu magno atque vehementi impleverunt septem dies.

11 Quod cum vidissent habitatores terræ Chanaan, dixerunt : Planctus magnus est iste Ægyptiis. Et idcirco vocatum est nomen loci illius, Planctus Ægypti.

12 Fecerunt ergo filii Jacob sicut præceperat eis :

13 et portantes eum in terram Chanaan, sepelierunt eum in spelunca duplici, quam emerat Abraham cum agro in possessionem sepulchri ab Ephron Hethæo, contra faciem Mambre.

14 Reversusque est Joseph in Ægyptum cum fratribus suis, et omni comitatu, sepulto patre.

15 Quo mortuo, timentes fratres ejus, et mutuo colloquentes : Ne forte memor sit injuriæ quam passus est, et reddat nobis omne malum quod fecimus,

16 mandaverunt ei dicentes : Pater tuus præcepit nobis antequam moreretur,

17 ut hæc tibi verbis illius diceremus : Obsecro ut obliviscaris sceleris fratrum tuorum, et peccati atque malitiæ quam exercuerunt in te : nos quoque oramus ut servis Dei patris tui dimittas iniquitatem hanc. Quibus auditis flevit Joseph.

18 Veneruntque ad eum fratres sui : et proni adorantes in terram, dixerunt : Servi tui sumus.

19 Quibus ille respondit : Nolite timere : num Dei possumus resistere voluntati ?

20 Vos cogitastis de me malum : sed Deus vertit illud in bonum, ut exaltaret me, sicut in præsentiarum cernitis, et salvos faceret multos populos.

21 Nolite timere : ego pascam vos et parvulos vestros : consolatusque est eos, et blande ac leniter est locutus.

22 Et habitavit in Ægypto cum omni domo patris sui : vixitque centum decem annis. Et vidit Ephraim filios usque ad tertiam generationem. Filii quoque Machir Filii Manasse nati sunt in genibus Joseph.

23 Quibus transactis, locutus est fratribus suis : Post mortem meam Deus visitabit vos, et ascendere vos faciet de terra ista ad terram quam juravit Abraham, Isaac et Jacob.

24 Cumque adjurasset eos atque dixisset : Deus visitabit vos, asportate ossa mea vobiscum de loco isto :

25 mortuus est, expletis centum decem vitæ suæ annis. Et conditus aromatibus, repositus est in loculo in Ægypto.

6589. 'And cause you to go up out of this land to the land which He swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob' means that they are about to come into the state of the Church that the ancients lived in. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land of Egypt', from which they were to go up, as the Church when it has been laid waste - the Church laid waste was represented by the Egyptians through their oppression of the children of Israel, and the perishing of it through their drowning in the Sea Suph; and from the meaning of 'the land of Canaan', to which the children of Israel were about to go up, as the Lord's kingdom and the Church, dealt within 1607, 3038, 3481, 3705, 4447, 4517.

[2] The Ancient Church, or the state of the Church in which the ancients lived, is what is meant by God's having sworn to give that land to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. These three are used to mean in the highest sense the Lord, and in the representative sense His kingdom in heaven and His kingdom on earth, which is the Church, 1965, 1989, 2011, 3245, 3305 (end), 6098, 6185, 6276; therefore 'swearing the land to them' means confirming that they are about to come into the state of the Church that the ancients lived in. Not that the descendants of Jacob were about to do so, for they were incapable of coming into the state of that Church; they came into no more than the external aspect of that Church, that is to say, its representative acts, yet barely into these. The promise that is made refers instead to those who are meant spiritually by 'the children of Israel', that is, who are all members of the spiritual Church - both those who lived in it at that time and those who were about to come into it.

[3] 'Swearing' means confirmation from the Divine, see 1842, 3375.

The land of Canaan was promised and given to the descendants of Jacob so that they might represent the Church; and the reason for this was that the Church had existed in that land since ancient times, during which all the places there received their names and became representative, see 3686, 4447, 4516, 4517, 5136, 6516.
