Бытие 50

Studie

   

1 Іосифъ палъ на лице отца своего, и плакалъ надъ нимъ, и цјловалъ его.

2 И повелјлъ Іосифъ рабамъ своимъ врачамъ бальзамировать отца его; и врачи набальзамировали Израиля.

3 И исполнилось ему сорокъ дней; ибо столько дней употребляется на балъзамированіе. Египтяне оплакивали его семьдесятъ дней.

4 Когда же прошли дни плача по немъ: тогда Іосифъ обратился къ придворнымъ Фараона, и сказалъ: если я обрјлъ благоволеніе въ очахъ вашихъ, то доведите до слуха Фараонова сіи слова:

5 отецъ мой обязалъ меня клятвою, сказавъ: вотъ, я умираю; похорони меня во гробј моемъ, который я выкопалъ себј въ землј Ханаанской. Итакъ пойду я, похороню отца моего, и возвращусь.

6 Фараонъ отвјчалъ: поди, похорони отца твоего, какъ онъ заклиналъ тебя.

7 И пошелъ Іосифъ хоронить отца своего. Съ нимъ пошлп всј рабы Фараона, знатнјйшіе въ домј его, и всј знатнјйшіе въ землј Египетской,

8 и весь домъ Іосифовъ, и братья его, и домъ отца его. Только дјтей своихъ, и мелкій и крупный скотъ свой оставили въ землј Гесемъ.

9 Съ нимъ отправились также колесницы и всадники, такъ, что составился сонмъ весьма великій.

10 Дошедши до гумна Атадова за Іорданомъ, они сдјлали тутъ великій и весьма сильный плачъ; и оплакивалъ Іосифъ отца своего семь дней.

11 Хананеи, жители земли той, видя плачь на гумнј Атадовомъ, говорили: какой великій плачъ у Египтянъ! отъ сего дано имя мјсту тому за Іорданомъ: Плачъ Египтянъ.

12 И исполнили сыновъя Іакова надъ нимъ то, что онъ приказывалъ имъ,

13 Сыновья его отнесли его въ землю Ханаанскую, и похоронили его въ пещерј на полј Махпела, которую Авраамъ вмјстј съ полемъ купилъ въ собственность ддя погребанія у Ефрона Хеттеянина, противъ Мамре.

14 Іосифъ, похоронивъ отца своего, возвратился въ Египетъ самъ, и братья его, и всј ходившіе съ ними хоронить отца его.

15 Братья Іосифовы, видя, что отецъ ихъ умеръ, сказали: что, если Іосифъ возненавидитъ насъ, и захочетъ отомстить намъ за все зло, которое мы ему сдјлади?

16 Итакъ они послали сказать Іосифу: отецъ твой предъ смертію своею завјщалъ, говоря:

17 такъ скажите Іосифу: прости братьямъ твоимъ вину и грјхъ ихъ; ибо они сдјлали тебј зло. Итакъ прости же рабамъ Бога отца твоего вину ихъ. Іосифъ плакалъ, когда ему говорили сіе.

18 Пришли и сами братья его, и пали предъ лицемъ его, и сказали: вотъ, мы рабы тебј.

19 Іосифъ отвјчалъ; не бойтесь; ибо я боюсь Бога.

20 Вы умышляли противъ меня зло; но Богъ обратилъ въ добро, чтобы сдјлать то, что теперь есть, и сохранить жизнь великому числу людей.

21 Итакъ, не бойтесь, Я буду питать васъ и дјтей вашихъ. И успокоилъ ихъ, и говорилъ по сердцу ихъ.

22 И жилъ Іосифъ въ Египтј самъ и домъ отца его; и жилъ сто десять лјтъ.

23 И видјлъ Іосифъ дјтей у Ефрема до третьяго рода, также и сыновья Махира, сына Манассіина, родились на колјнахъ у Іосифа.

24 И сказалъ Іосифъ братьямъ своимъ: я умираю, но Богъ вјрно посјтитъ васъ и выведетъ васъ въ землю, которую Онъ съ клятвою објщалъ Аврааму, Исааку и Іакову.

25 И заклиналъ Іосифъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ, говоря: вјрно, Богъ посјтитъ васъ; тогда вынесите отсюда кости мои.

26 И умеръ Іосифъ ста десяти лјтъ. И набальзамировали его, и положили въ ковчегј въ Египтј.

6549. 'Which Abraham had bought with the field' means those whom the Lord had redeemed. This is clear from the meaning of 'buying' as redemption, dealt with in 6458, 6461; from the representation of 'Abraham' as the Lord, dealt with in 1965, 1989, 2011, 2172, 2198, 3245, 3305 (end), 3439; 3703, 4615, 6098, 6185, 6276; and from the meaning of 'the field' as the Church, dealt with in 2971, 3766. From all this it is evident that 'which Abraham had bought with the field' means those belonging to the Church, whom the Lord had redeemed.

1463. That 'sojourning' means receiving instruction becomes clear from the meaning in the Word of 'sojourning' as receiving instruction, and it has this meaning because sojourning and passing on, or moving from one place to another, is in heaven nothing else than a change of state, as shown already in 1376, 1379. Therefore every time travelling, sojourning, or transferring from one place to another occurs in the Word nothing else suggests itself to angels than a change of state such as takes place with them. There are changes of state both of thoughts and of affections. Changes of the state of thoughts are cognitions, which in the world of spirits are represented by means of forms of instruction. This also explains why members of the Most Ancient Church, having communication with the angelic heaven, did not perceive anything else by 'sojourning'. Thus the statement here that 'Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn' does not mean anything other than the Lord's being instructed.

[2] Something similar is meant by Jacob and his sons going down into Egypt, as in Isaiah,

Thus said the Lord Jehovih, My people went down to Egypt at first to sojourn there, and Asshur oppressed them without cause. Isaiah 52:4.

Here 'Asshur' stands for reasonings. This is also why in the Jewish Church people who were receiving instruction were called 'sojourners, sojourning in their midst' who, it was commanded, were to receive the same treatment as the native-born, Exodus 12:48-49; Leviticus 24:22; Numbers 15:13-16, 26, 29; 19:10. Regarding sojourners it is said in Ezekiel,

You shall divide this land among you according to the tribes of Israel. You shall divide it by lot as an inheritance for yourselves and for sojourners, sojourning in your midst. They shall be to you as native-born among the children of Israel, they shall cast lots with you for an inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Israel. In the tribe with which the sojourner has sojourned, there shall you give him his inheritance. Ezekiel 47:21-23.

This refers to the new Jerusalem, or the Lord's kingdom. 'Sojourners sojourning' is used to mean people who allow themselves to receive instruction, consequently the gentiles. That 'sojourners' stands for people who are receiving instruction is clear from the fact that it is said 'in the tribe with which he has sojourned, there shall an inheritance be given him'. 'Tribes' stands for the things that constitute faith.

[3] 'Sojourning' is also similar in meaning to travelling and dwelling. 'Travelling' means the established patterns and order of life, while 'dwelling' means living, both dealt with already in 1293. For the same reasons the land of Canaan is also called 'the land of the sojournings of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob', in Genesis 28:4; 36:7; 37:1; Exodus 6:4. And Jacob said to Pharaoh,

The days of the years of my sojournings; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their sojournings. Genesis 47:9.

Here 'sojourning' stands for life and for forms of instruction.
