Бытие 49

Studie

   

1 Наконецъ Іаковъ призвалъ сыновъ своихъ и сказалъ: Соберитесь, и я возвјщу вамъ, Что случится съ вами въ грядущіе дни.

2 Сойдитесь, и послушайте, сыны Іакова, Послушайте Израиля, отца вашего

3 Рувимъ! ты мой первенецъ, Крјпость моя, и начатокъ силы моей, Верхъ достоинства, и верхъ могущества.

4 Но ты бушевалъ, какъ вода, - не будешь высшимъ; Ибо ты взошелъ на ложе отца твоего; Тогда осквернилъ ты постелю мою, На которую взошелъ.

5 Симеонъ и Левій братья; Орудія жестокости мечи ихъ.

6 Въ тайну ихъ да не внидетъ душа моя, И къ сонмищу ихъ да не пріобщится слава моя. Ибо они во гнјвј своемъ избили мужей; И въ своевольствј своемъ перерјзали жилы тельцевъ.

7 Проклятъ гнјвъ ихъ, ибо жестокъ; И ярость ихъ, ибо свирјпа; Раздјлю ихъ во Іаковј, И разсјю ихъ во Израилј.

8 Іуда! тебя восхвалятъ братія твои. Рука твоя на хребтј враговъ твоихъ. Поклонятся тебј сыны отца твоего.

9 Іуда юный левъ. Ты идешь съ ловитвы, сынъ мой. Онъ преклонился, возлегъ, Какъ левъ, и какъ львица. Кто возбудитъ его?

10 Не отнимется скипетръ отъ Іуды, И законоположникъ отъ чреслъ его, Пока не придетъ Примиритель, И Ему покорность народовъ.

11 Онъ привязываетъ къ виноградной лозј осленка своего, Омываетъ виномъ одежду свою, И кровію гроздовъ одјяніе свое.

12 Очи его красны отъ вина, И зубы его бјлы отъ молока.

13 Завулонъ при берегахъ моря жить будетъ, И при берегахъ, гдј корабли. И прострется до Сидона.

14 Иссахаръ оселъ крјпкій, Лежащій между протоками водъ.

15 Онъ видитъ, что покоище хорошо, И что земля пріятна; И преклоняетъ рамена свои для ношенія бременъ, И работаетъ, чтобы платить дань.

16 Данъ будетъ судить народъ свой, Подобно другимъ колјнамъ Израилевымъ.

17 Данъ будетъ змјй на пути, Аспидъ на дорогј, Уязвитъ ногу коня, И всадникъ упадетъ назадъ.

18 Твоего сиасенія жду я, Іегова!

19 Гадъ, толпа нападетъ на него, Но онъ отразитъ ее,

20 Отъ Ассира лучшій хлјбъ; онъ будетъ доставлять яства царскія.

21 Нефѕалимъ терпентинъ вјтвистый, Распускающій прекрасныя вјтви.

22 Іосифъ отрасль плодоноснаго древа, Отрасль плодоноснаго древа надъ источникомъ; Вјтви его простираются черезъ стјну.

23 Огорчаютъ его, стрјляютъ въ него, Враждуютъ на него стрјльцы.

24 Но твердъ останется лукъ его. Отъ крјпкаго Бот Іаковлева, - Оттолј пастырь онъ, камень Израиля,

25 Отъ Бога отца твоего, Который и помогаетъ тебј, И отъ Всемогущаго, Который и благословляетъ тебя Благословеніями небесъ свыше, Благословеніями бездны, лежащія долу, Благословеніями сосцевъ и утробы.

26 Благословенія отца твоего превышаютъ благословенія горъ древнихъ и пріятности холмовъ вјчныхъ. Да пріидутъ онј на главу Іосифа И на чело избраннаго между братьями своими!

27 Веніаминъ хищный волкъ, Утромъ будетъ јсть ловитву, И вечеромъ будетъ дјлить добычу.

28 Вотъ всј двјнадцать колјнъ Израильскихъ, и вотъ что сказалъ имъ отецъ ихъ; и благословилъ ихъ, и далъ имъ каждому свое благословеніе.

29 Потомъ далъ имъ приказаніе, и сказалъ имъ: я отхожу къ народу своему; похороните меня съ отцами моими въ пещерј, которая на полј Ефрона Хеттеяннна;

30 въ пещерј, которая на полј, Махпела, что противъ Мамре, въ землј Ханаанской, которое поле Авраамъ купилъ у Ефрона Хеттеянина въ собственность для погребенія.

31 Тамъ похоронили Авраама и жену его Сарру; тамъ похоронили Исаака и жену его Реввеку; тамъ похоронилъ я Лію.

32 Это поле съ пещерою, которая на немъ, куплено у сыновъ Хеттеевыхъ.

33 Окончивъ сіе завјщаніе сынамъ своимъ, Іаковъ положилъ ноги свои на одръ, и испустилъ духъ, и присоединился къ народу своему.

4502. 'And they took Dinah from Shechem's house, and went away' means that they took away the affection for truth. This is clear from the representation of 'Dinah' as the affection for truth, dealt with above in 4498. The meaning according to the internal proximate sense is that they took away the affection for truth from those who were part of the remnants of the Most Ancient Church, for the phrase 'from Shechem's house' is used and by 'Shechem's house' is meant the good of truth of that Church. But as the subject here is the utter destruction of truth and good among those descended from Jacob, who are meant here by Jacob's sons, and as every detail mentioned has a specific application to the particular subject that is under discussion, 'Shechem's house' therefore means here simply the good of truth, like that which had existed with the member of the Most Ancient Church. Thus the meaning is that this good was wiped out among the nation descended from Jacob. For in the internal sense of the Word every expression or name means some aspect of the subject to which it belongs. At the same time the extinction of good and truth among Hamor and Shechem and his family is meant, because they accepted external usages, as shown in 4493.

[2] The truth of what has been explained so far regarding Simeon and Levi becomes clear from the prophetical utterances of Jacob before he died, where the following occurs,

Simeon and Levi are brothers; instruments of violence are their swords. Into their secret place let my soul not come; in their congregation let not my glory be united; for in their anger they killed a man, in their pleasure they hamstrung an ox. Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce, and their fury, for it is severe. I will divide them in Jacob, and will scatter them in Israel. Genesis 49:5-7.

'Simeon and Levi' means the truth of faith which among the descendants of Jacob was turned into falsity, and the good of charity into evil, as above in 4499, 4500. They are called 'brothers' because good is the brother of truth, or charity is the brother of faith, 4498. 'Instruments of violence are their swords' means that falsities and evils did violence to truths and goods, 4499. 'Into their secret place let my soul not come, in their congregation let not my glory be united' means severance as regards life and doctrine, for in the Word 'soul' is used to refer to life, 1000, 1040, 1742, 3299, and 'glory' to doctrine. 'For in their anger they killed a man, in their pleasure they hamstrung an ox' means that with evil intent they annihilated the truth of the Church and the good of the Church, 'a man' meaning the truth of the Church, 3134, and 'an ox' its good, 2180, 2566, 2781. 'Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce, and their fury, for it is severe' means the punishment incurred for turning away from truth and good - 'cursing' meaning turning oneself away and also being punished on that account, 245, 379, 1423, 3530, 3584, while anger means the departure from good, and 'fury' the departure from truth, 357, 3614. 'I will divide them in Jacob, and will scatter them in Israel' means that goods and truths will exist no longer within either the external or the internal aspect of their Church - 'dividing' and 'scattering' meaning separating and completely removing from them, 4424, 'Jacob' being the external aspect of the Church and 'Israel' the internal, 4286.

[3] These things are said about Simeon and Levi in this prophetical utterance because those two mean in general the truth and good of the Church, and when these cease to exist, and more so when falsities and evils take their place, the Church has been wiped out. Nothing other than this is contained in these prophetical words, as may be seen from the fact that neither the tribe of Simeon nor the tribe of Levi was cursed more than any other tribe. For the tribe of Levi was selected for the priesthood, and the tribe of Simeon existed as one of the rest of the tribes of Israel.
