1 κατωκει δε ιακωβ εν τη γη ου παρωκησεν ο πατηρ αυτου εν γη χανααν

2 αυται δε αι γενεσεις ιακωβ ιωσηφ δεκα επτα ετων ην ποιμαινων μετα των αδελφων αυτου τα προβατα ων νεος μετα των υιων βαλλας και μετα των υιων ζελφας των γυναικων του πατρος αυτου κατηνεγκεν δε ιωσηφ ψογον πονηρον προς ισραηλ τον πατερα αυτων

3 ιακωβ δε ηγαπα τον ιωσηφ παρα παντας τους υιους αυτου οτι υιος γηρους ην αυτω εποιησεν δε αυτω χιτωνα ποικιλον

4 ιδοντες δε οι αδελφοι αυτου οτι αυτον ο πατηρ φιλει εκ παντων των υιων αυτου εμισησαν αυτον και ουκ εδυναντο λαλειν αυτω ουδεν ειρηνικον

5 ενυπνιασθεις δε ιωσηφ ενυπνιον απηγγειλεν αυτο τοις αδελφοις αυτου

6 και ειπεν αυτοις ακουσατε του ενυπνιου τουτου ου ενυπνιασθην

7 ωμην ημας δεσμευειν δραγματα εν μεσω τω πεδιω και ανεστη το εμον δραγμα και ωρθωθη περιστραφεντα δε τα δραγματα υμων προσεκυνησαν το εμον δραγμα

8 ειπαν δε αυτω οι αδελφοι μη βασιλευων βασιλευσεις εφ' ημας η κυριευων κυριευσεις ημων και προσεθεντο ετι μισειν αυτον ενεκεν των ενυπνιων αυτου και ενεκεν των ρηματων αυτου

9 ειδεν δε ενυπνιον ετερον και διηγησατο αυτο τω πατρι αυτου και τοις αδελφοις αυτου και ειπεν ιδου ενυπνιασαμην ενυπνιον ετερον ωσπερ ο ηλιος και η σεληνη και ενδεκα αστερες προσεκυνουν με

10 και επετιμησεν αυτω ο πατηρ αυτου και ειπεν αυτω τι το ενυπνιον τουτο ο ενυπνιασθης αρα γε ελθοντες ελευσομεθα εγω τε και η μητηρ σου και οι αδελφοι σου προσκυνησαι σοι επι την γην

11 εζηλωσαν δε αυτον οι αδελφοι αυτου ο δε πατηρ αυτου διετηρησεν το ρημα

12 επορευθησαν δε οι αδελφοι αυτου βοσκειν τα προβατα του πατρος αυτων εις συχεμ

13 και ειπεν ισραηλ προς ιωσηφ ουχ οι αδελφοι σου ποιμαινουσιν εν συχεμ δευρο αποστειλω σε προς αυτους ειπεν δε αυτω ιδου εγω

14 ειπεν δε αυτω ισραηλ πορευθεις ιδε ει υγιαινουσιν οι αδελφοι σου και τα προβατα και αναγγειλον μοι και απεστειλεν αυτον εκ της κοιλαδος της χεβρων και ηλθεν εις συχεμ

15 και ευρεν αυτον ανθρωπος πλανωμενον εν τω πεδιω ηρωτησεν δε αυτον ο ανθρωπος λεγων τι ζητεις

16 ο δε ειπεν τους αδελφους μου ζητω αναγγειλον μοι που βοσκουσιν

17 ειπεν δε αυτω ο ανθρωπος απηρκασιν εντευθεν ηκουσα γαρ αυτων λεγοντων πορευθωμεν εις δωθαιμ και επορευθη ιωσηφ κατοπισθεν των αδελφων αυτου και ευρεν αυτους εν δωθαιμ

18 προειδον δε αυτον μακροθεν προ του εγγισαι αυτον προς αυτους και επονηρευοντο του αποκτειναι αυτον

19 ειπαν δε εκαστος προς τον αδελφον αυτου ιδου ο ενυπνιαστης εκεινος ερχεται

20 νυν ουν δευτε αποκτεινωμεν αυτον και ριψωμεν αυτον εις ενα των λακκων και ερουμεν θηριον πονηρον κατεφαγεν αυτον και οψομεθα τι εσται τα ενυπνια αυτου

21 ακουσας δε ρουβην εξειλατο αυτον εκ των χειρων αυτων και ειπεν ου παταξομεν αυτον εις ψυχην

22 ειπεν δε αυτοις ρουβην μη εκχεητε αιμα εμβαλετε αυτον εις τον λακκον τουτον τον εν τη ερημω χειρα δε μη επενεγκητε αυτω οπως εξεληται αυτον εκ των χειρων αυτων και αποδω αυτον τω πατρι αυτου

23 εγενετο δε ηνικα ηλθεν ιωσηφ προς τους αδελφους αυτου εξεδυσαν τον ιωσηφ τον χιτωνα τον ποικιλον τον περι αυτον

24 και λαβοντες αυτον ερριψαν εις τον λακκον ο δε λακκος κενος υδωρ ουκ ειχεν

25 εκαθισαν δε φαγειν αρτον και αναβλεψαντες τοις οφθαλμοις ειδον και ιδου οδοιποροι ισμαηλιται ηρχοντο εκ γαλααδ και αι καμηλοι αυτων εγεμον θυμιαματων και ρητινης και στακτης επορευοντο δε καταγαγειν εις αιγυπτον

26 ειπεν δε ιουδας προς τους αδελφους αυτου τι χρησιμον εαν αποκτεινωμεν τον αδελφον ημων και κρυψωμεν το αιμα αυτου

27 δευτε αποδωμεθα αυτον τοις ισμαηλιταις τουτοις αι δε χειρες ημων μη εστωσαν επ' αυτον οτι αδελφος ημων και σαρξ ημων εστιν ηκουσαν δε οι αδελφοι αυτου

28 και παρεπορευοντο οι ανθρωποι οι μαδιηναιοι οι εμποροι και εξειλκυσαν και ανεβιβασαν τον ιωσηφ εκ του λακκου και απεδοντο τον ιωσηφ τοις ισμαηλιταις εικοσι χρυσων και κατηγαγον τον ιωσηφ εις αιγυπτον

29 ανεστρεψεν δε ρουβην επι τον λακκον και ουχ ορα τον ιωσηφ εν τω λακκω και διερρηξεν τα ιματια αυτου

30 και ανεστρεψεν προς τους αδελφους αυτου και ειπεν το παιδαριον ουκ εστιν εγω δε που πορευομαι ετι

31 λαβοντες δε τον χιτωνα του ιωσηφ εσφαξαν εριφον αιγων και εμολυναν τον χιτωνα τω αιματι

32 και απεστειλαν τον χιτωνα τον ποικιλον και εισηνεγκαν τω πατρι αυτων και ειπαν τουτον ευρομεν επιγνωθι ει χιτων του υιου σου εστιν η ου

33 και επεγνω αυτον και ειπεν χιτων του υιου μου εστιν θηριον πονηρον κατεφαγεν αυτον θηριον ηρπασεν τον ιωσηφ

34 διερρηξεν δε ιακωβ τα ιματια αυτου και επεθετο σακκον επι την οσφυν αυτου και επενθει τον υιον αυτου ημερας πολλας

35 συνηχθησαν δε παντες οι υιοι αυτου και αι θυγατερες και ηλθον παρακαλεσαι αυτον και ουκ ηθελεν παρακαλεισθαι λεγων οτι καταβησομαι προς τον υιον μου πενθων εις αδου και εκλαυσεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου

36 οι δε μαδιηναιοι απεδοντο τον ιωσηφ εις αιγυπτον τω πετεφρη τω σπαδοντι φαραω αρχιμαγειρω

4692. 'And they hated him all the more for his dreams and for his words' means still greater contempt and aversion on account of that declaration of truth, namely concerning the Lord's Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'adding' as making still greater; from the meaning of 'hating' as holding in contempt and turning away in aversion, dealt with above in 4681; from the meaning of 'a dream' as a declaration, also dealt with above, in 4682, 4685; and from the meaning of 'words' as truths. The reason 'words' means truths is that every word in heaven is received from the Lord, and therefore 'words' in the internal sense means truths, while 'the Word' in general means all Divine Truth.

[2] The subject in particular is that the Church which has separated faith from charity holds in utter contempt and turns away in utter aversion from the highest truth of all - the truth that the Lord's Human is Divine. All who belonged to the Ancient Church and did not separate charity from faith believed that the God of the whole world was a Divine Man, and that He was the Divine Being (Esse), which also was why they called Him Jehovah. They knew of Him as such from the most ancient people, and also because He had appeared to many of their brethren as Man. They also knew that all the ritual and external practices of their Church represented Him. But those who adhered to faith separated from charity were unable to share that belief of those who did not separate faith from charity because they could not grasp how the Human could ever be Divine, or that Divine love could make it such. For anything they did not grasp with some idea acquired through their bodily senses they considered to be worthless. This is what faith separated from charity is like; for with those people the internal degree of perception is closed because nothing intermediate exists to enable one to flow into the other.

[3] The Jewish Church which came next did in fact believe that Jehovah was Man as well as God, because He had appeared to Moses and the Prophets as a human being, on account of which they called every angel who appeared Jehovah. Yet their idea of Him was no different from ideas the gentiles had of their gods, though they preferred Jehovah God because He could work miracles, 4299. They were unaware of the fact that this Jehovah was the Lord in the Word, 2921, 3035, and that His Divine Human was represented in all their religious observances. They had no other idea of the Messiah or Christ than one who would be a very great prophet, greater than Moses, and a very great king, greater than David, who would lead them into the land of Canaan to the accompaniment of amazing miracles. Of His heavenly kingdom they did not wish to hear anything at all, for the reason that they grasped none but worldly ideas since they were people separated from charity.

[4] The Christian Church, it is true, does in its religious services adore the Lord's Human as one that is Divine. It does so in particular in the Holy Supper, because He has said that the bread there is His body, and the wine His blood. But they do not in their doctrine make His Human Divine, for they make a distinction between His Divine nature and His human nature. Also, they make this distinction because the Church has turned aside from charity to faith, and at length to faith separated from charity. And failing to acknowledge that the Lord's Human is Divine, many go wrong and in their heart deny Him, 4689. Yet the truth of the matter is that the Lord's Divine Human is the Divine Manifestation of the Divine Being, dealt with above in 4687, and that He Himself is the Divine Being; for Divine Being and Divine Manifestation make one, as the Lord also plainly teaches in John,

Jesus said to Philip, Have I been so long a time with you and you do not know Me? He who has seen Me has seen the Father. Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me. John 14:9-11.

The same teaching occurs elsewhere. The Divine Manifestation is the Divine itself proceeding from the Divine Being and in image is Man, since heaven, of which He is its all, represents the Grand Man, as stated above in 4687 and shown at the ends of chapters where the correspondence with heaven of everything in the human being is dealt with. The Lord, it is true, was born as any human being is born, and received an infirm human from His mother; but the Lord cast out this human completely, to the point of His being no longer Mary's son, and made the Human within Himself Divine, which is what is meant by His being glorified. He also showed Peter, James, and John that He was a Divine Man, when He was transfigured.
