Бытие 41

Studie

   

1 По прошествіи двухъ лјтъ случилось, что Фараонъ видјлъ во снј, будто онъ стоялъ у рјки.

2 И вотъ, выходятъ изъ рјки семь коровъ хорошихъ видомъ, и тучныхъ плотію,

3 и пасутся на травј рјчной. Но вотъ, послј нихъ выходятъ изъ рјки семь коровъ другихъ, худыхъ видомъ, и тощихъ плотію; и стали подлј тјхъ коровъ, на берегу рјки.

4 И съјли коровы худые видомъ и тощія плотію семь коровъ хорошихъ видомъ и тучныхъ. Тутъ Фараонъ проснулся.

5 Заснулъ опять, и въ другой разъ видјлось ему во снј, будто изъ одного стебля вышло семь колосьевъ тучныхъ и хорошихъ.

6 Но вотъ, послј нихъ выросло семь колосьевъ тощихъ и обожженныхъ вјтромъ.

7 Наконецъ тощіе колосья пожрали семь колосьевъ тучныхъ и полныхъ. Фараонъ проснулся и видитъ, что это сонъ.

8 По утру, въ смущеніи духа, послалъ онъ, и призвалъ всјхъ Египетскихъ толкователей тайнъ, и всјхъ тамошнихъ мудрецовъ, и разсказалъ имъ Фараонъ сны свои; но никто не истолковалъ ихъ Фараону.

9 Тогда главный виночерпій сталъ говорить Фараону, и сказалъ: грјхъ мой воспоминаю я нынј.

10 Фараонъ прогнјвался на рабовъ своихъ, и отдалъ меня и главнаго хлјбодара подъ стражу, въ домъ начальника тјлохранителей.

11 Тамъ видјлись намъ сны въ одну ночь, каждому видјлся сонъ особеннаго значенія,

12 Тамъ же былъ съ нами молодой Еврей, рабъ начальника тјлохранителей. Мы разсказали ему сны наши, и онъ истолковалъ намъ, истолковалъ каждому, соотвјтственно съ его сновидјніемъ.

13 И какъ онъ истолковалъ намъ, такъ и случилось: я поставленъ на прежнее мјсто; а тотъ повјшенъ.

14 Фараонъ послалъ призвать Іосифа; н тотчасъ взяли его изъ темницы. Онъ остригся, и перемјнилъ одежду свою, и пришелъ къ Фараону.

15 Фараонъ сказалъ Іосифу: мнј видјлся сонъ, и нјтъ никого, кто бъ истолковалъ его; а о тебј я слышалъ, что ты, выслушавъ сонъ, можешь истолковать его.

16 Іосифъ сказалъ въ отвјтъ Фараону: это не мое, Богъ дастъ отвјтъ во благо Фараону.

17 И сказалъ Фараонъ Іосифу: мнј видјлосъ во снј, будто я стоялъ на берегу рјки.

18 И вотъ, выходягъ изъ рјки семь коровъ тучныхъ плотію, и хорошихъ видомъ, и пасутся на травј рјчной.

19 Но вотъ, послј нихъ выходятъ семь коровъ другихъ, очень худыхъ видомъ и тощихъ плотію; я не видывалъ во всей землј Египетской такихъ худыхъ, какъ онј.

20 И съјли тощія и худыя коровы семь прежнихъ коровъ тучныхъ.

21 И вошли въ утробу ихъ, но непримјтно было, что онј вошли въ утробу ихъ. Онј были также худы видомъ, какъ и съ начала. Тутъ я проснулся.

22 Потомъ видјлось мнј въ сновидјніи моемъ, будто изъ одного стебля вышло семь колосьевъ полныхъ и хорошихъ.

23 Но вотъ, послј нихъ выросло семь колосьевъ тонкихъ, тощихъ и обожженныхъ вјтромъ.

24 И сіи колосья тощіе пожрали семь колосьевъ хорошихъ. Я разсказалъ это толкователямъ тайнъ; но никто не истолковалъ мнј.

25 И сказалъ Іосифъ Фараону: сонъ Фараоновъ одинъ. Богъ показалъ Фараону, что хочетъ творить.

26 Семь коровъ хорошихъ значатъ Семь лјтъ; и Семь колосьевъ хорошихъ значатъ Семь лјтъ: это одинъ сонъ.

27 И семь коровъ тощихъ и худыхъ, вышедшихъ послј тјхъ, значатъ семь лјтъ, также и семь колосьевъ тощихъ и обожженныхъ вјтромъ. Будетъ семь лјтъ голода.

28 Вотъ къ чему сказалъ я Фараону, что Богъ показалъ Фараону, что Онъ хочетъ творить.

29 Вотъ приходятъ семь лјтъ, въ которыя будетъ великое плодородіе во всей землј Египетской.

30 Послј нихъ настанутъ семь лјтъ голода: и забудется все оное изобиліе въ землј Египетской; и истощитъ голодъ землю.

31 Такъ что прежнее изобиліе и непримјтно будетъ на землј, по причинј голода сего, который наступитъ потомъ; ибо онъ будетъ очень великъ.

32 Что же сонъ повторился Фараону дважды, - это значитъ, что сіе рјшено Богомъ, и что вскорј Богъ исполнитъ сіе,

33 Итакъ да усмотритъ Фараонъ мужа разумнаго и мудраго, и да поставитъ его надъ землею Египетскою.

34 Да повелитъ Фараонъ поставить надъ землею надзирателей, и собирать въ семь лјтъ изобилія пятую часть всјхъ произведеній земли Египетской.

35 Пусть они берутъ всякій хлјбъ наступающихъ хорошихъ годовъ, и соберутъ хлјбъ подъ вјденіе Фараона, въ пищу по городамъ, и пусть берегутъ.

36 И будетъ сія пища въ запасъ для земли на семь лјтъ голода, которые будутъ въ землј Египетской; дабы земля не погибла отъ голода.

37 Сія рјчь понравилась Фараону и всјмъ рабамъ его.

38 И сказалъ Фараонъ рабамъ своимъ: найдемъ ли мы такого, какъ онъ, человјка, въ которомъ бы былъ духъ Божій?

39 Тогда Фараонъ сказалъ Іосифу: когда Богъ открылъ тебј все сіе, то нјтъ разумнје и мудрје тебя.

40 Ты будешь надъ домомъ моимъ; и твоего слова держаться будетъ весь народъ мой; только престоломъ я буду больше тебя.

41 И сказалъ Фараонъ Іосифу: вотъ, я поставляю тебя надъ всею землею Египетскою.

42 И снялъ Фараонъ перстень свой съ руки своей, и надјлъ его на руку Іосифу; одјлъ его въ виссонныя одежды, возложилъ на шею ему золотую цјпь.

43 Велјлъ везти на второй у себя колесницј, и провозглашать предъ нимъ: преклоняйте колјна! Такимъ образомъ поставилъ его надъ всею землею Египетскою.

44 И сказалъ Фараонъ Іосифу: я Фараонъ; безъ тебя никто не долженъ тронуться ни рукою, ни ногою во всей землј Египетской.

45 И нарекъ Фараонъ Іосифу имя: Цафнаѕ-панеахъ; и далъ ему въ жену Асенаѕу, дочь Поти-Фера, жреца Иліопольскаго. И пошелъ Іосифъ по землј Египетской.

46 Іосифу было тридцать лјтъ отъ рожденія, когда онъ предсталъ предъ лице Фараона, царя Египетскаго. И вышелъ Іосифъ отъ лица Фараонова, и прошелъ по всей землј Египетской.

47 Земля же въ семь лјтъ обилія приносила изъ зерна по горсти.

48 Итакъ онъ собралъ всякой хлјбъ семи лјтъ, которые были плодородны въ землј Египетской, и положилъ хлјбъ въ городахъ; въ каждомъ городј положилъ хлјбъ полей, окружающихъ его.

49 Такимъ образомъ Іосифъ собралъ хлјба весьма много, какъ песку морскаго, такъ что пересталъ и считать, ибо счета не было.

50 Еще до наступленія голодныхъ годовъ, у ІосиФа родились два сына, которыхъ родила ему Асенаѕа, дочь Поти-Фера, жреца Иліопольскаго.

51 И нарекъ Іосифъ имя первенцу: Манассія, потому что, говорилъ онъ, Богъ привелъ у меня въ забвеніе всј несчастія мои, и весь домъ отца моего.

52 А другому нарекъ имя Ефремъ, потому что, говорилъ онъ, Богъ сдјлалъ меня плодовитымъ въ землј страданія моего.

53 И прошли семь лјтъ обилія, которое было въ землј Египетекой;

54 и наступили семь лјтъ голода, какъ сказалъ Іосифъ. И былъ голодъ во всјхъ земляхъ, а во всей землј Египетской былъ хлјбъ.

55 Потомъ и вся земля Египетская начала терпјть голодъ; и народъ возопилъ къ Фараону о хлјбј. Тогда Фараонъ сказалъ всему Египту: подите къ Іосифу, и дјлайте, что онъ вамъ скажетъ.

56 И какъ былъ голодъ по всей землј: то Іосифъ отворилъ всј житницы, и сталъ продавать хлјбъ Египту. Голодъ же усиливался въ землј Египетской.

57 И изъ всјхъ странъ приходили въ Египетъ, покупать хлјбъ у Іосифа: ибо голодъ усилился по всей землј.

5328. 'Or his foot' means all power in the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'foot' as the natural, dealt with in 2162, 3147, 3761, 3986, 4280, 4931-4952. Here power within the natural is meant because 'lifting up the foot', like 'lifting up the hand', means power, though 'lifting up the hand' means power in the spiritual, whereas 'lifting up the foot' means power in the natural; for the parts within the body that are above the feet correspond to spiritual things. This is especially evident from the Grand Man or the three heavens.

[2] Whenever the whole of heaven is displayed visually as one human being, the inmost or third heaven presents itself as the head, the middle or second heaven presents itself as the body, and the lowest or first as the feet. The reason the inmost or third heaven presents itself as the head is that it is celestial; the reason the middle or second heaven presents itself as the body is that it is spiritual; and the reason the lowest or first presents itself as the feet is that it is natural. By 'the neck' therefore, since this is an intermediate part, is meant the inflow and communication of celestial things with spiritual ones; and by 'the knees', since these are likewise intermediate, is meant the inflow and communication of spiritual things with natural ones. From this it is evident that 'lifting up the hand' means power within the spiritual, while 'lifting up the foot' means power within the natural, and therefore that the power meant by 'the hand' has regard to the spiritual, namely to truth grounded in good, 3091, 3567, 4932. By the spiritual is meant that within the natural which belongs to the light of heaven, and by the natural that within the natural which belongs to the light of the world; for everything belonging to the light of heaven is called spiritual, and everything belonging to the light of the world is called natural.

3986. 'And Jehovah has blessed you since I set foot here' means resulting from the Divine endowment which the natural possessed. This is clear from the meaning of 'Jehovah blessing' as being endowed with good, dealt with in 3406, and as a joining together, 3504, 3514, 3530, 3565, 3584. 'Jehovah blessing' accordingly means being endowed with Divine good by means of a joining together, at this point a joining to the good of the natural represented by 'Jacob', the natural being meant by 'the foot'. As regards 'the foot' meaning the natural, see 2162, 3147, 3761; and this will be clear in addition from the correspondence of the Grand Man with every part of the human being, the subject in the sections at the ends of chapters. From this it is evident that 'Jehovah has blessed you since I set foot here' means originating in the Divine which the natural possessed.

[2] The arcanum which lies concealed in these words and in those immediately before them is known to few, if any, and is therefore to be revealed. The goods present with people both inside the Church and outside it vary in every case. They vary so much that no one person's good is ever exactly like another's. These variations arise out of the truths to which those goods are joined, for the nature of every type of good is received from truths, and truths derive their essential nature from goods. Such variations also arise out of the affections that belong to each person's love, and which become rooted in a person and are made his own through the life he leads. Few genuine truths exist even with someone inside the Church, and fewer still with one outside. Consequently affections for genuine truth seldom exist with anyone.

[3] All the same, people who lead good lives, that is, who live in love to God and in charity towards the neighbour, are saved. The reason they are able to be saved is that the Lord's Divine is present within good that stems from love to God and within good that stems from charity towards the neighbour. And when the Divine is inwardly present everything is being arranged into order so that it can be joined to genuine goods and genuine truths which exist in the heavens. The truth of this may be proven from the communities constituting heaven, which are countless. Every single community varies as regards good and truth, and yet all of them taken together form one complete heaven. They are like the members and organs of the human body which, though varying in every case, still constitute one complete human being. For no complete whole is ever made up of any identical or entirely similar individual parts, but of varying parts harmoniously joined together. Varying parts joined together harmoniously present a single whole. The same applies to goods and truths in the spiritual world. Although these vary so much as never to be exactly similar with one person as with another, nevertheless from the Divine through love and charity they make one since love and charity are spiritual conjunction. Their variation is a heavenly harmony which produces such accord that they are one in the Divine, that is, in the Lord.

[4] Furthermore, however much truths may vary, and however much affections for truth may do so, good that stems from love to God and good that stems from charity towards the neighbour are nevertheless capable of receiving genuine truth and good, as they are not so to speak hard and resistant but soft and yielding. They allow themselves to be led by the Lord and in so doing to be turned towards good, and through good to be turned towards Him. It is different with those in whom self-love and love of the world reign. They do not allow themselves to be led and turned by the Lord towards the Lord but strongly resist, since each wishes to be his own leader, even more so when they have become subject to false and firmly established assumptions. As long as they are such they do not allow the Divine to come in.

[5] These considerations now make clear what is meant in the internal sense by these words which Jacob addressed to Laban, for 'Laban' means the kind of good which is not genuine because it does not have genuine truths planted within it but is nevertheless capable of having these joined to it and of having the Divine present within it. This kind of good is what normally exists with young children before they have received genuine truths. It is also the kind of good present with simple people within the Church who know few truths of faith but who nevertheless lead a charitable life. It is in addition the kind of good present with upright gentiles who offer holy worship to their gods. By means of such good, genuine truths and goods are able to be introduced, as may be seen from what has been stated about young children and simple people inside the Church in 3690, and about upright gentiles outside the Church in 2598-2603.
