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.

6594. 'A hundred and ten years old' means the state at that time. This is clear from the meaning of 'a hundred and ten years' as the state and essential nature of the life of factual knowledge from the internal, dealt with in 6582 - 'years' being states, see 487, 488, 497.

5662. 'And he said, Peace to you, do not be afraid' means that all is well, they should not despair. This is clear from the meaning of 'peace' as what is well, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'do not be afraid' as they should not despair. The subject in the internal sense is a change of state. No longer were they by their own power acquiring truths; now they were acquiring good by means of truths, which however were truths given them by the Lord. But because they imagined that they would then be losing their selfhood, and so would be losing their freedom and consequently their entire delight in life, they were plunged into despair, as is evident from what has gone before. So it is that here 'do not be afraid' means that they should not despair; for fear arises from various different causes, 5647, and therefore has various different meanings.

[2] The reason 'peace' means all is well is that peace is what is central and consequently what reigns universally within every single thing in heaven. For the peace that reigns in heaven is like spring on earth, or like the dawn. What moves a person's feelings when spring or dawn arrives is not the discernible changes that take place then but the loveliness reigning universally, which pervades every individual thing he perceives and fills not only that perception but also each individual object with loveliness. Scarcely anyone at the present day knows what peace is when it is mentioned in the Word, as, besides other places, in the Blessing,

Jehovah lift up His face upon you and give you peace. Numbers 6:26.

Almost everyone believes that peace consists in being kept safe from enemies and in serenity reigning at home and among companions. That kind of peace is not however what is meant here but another kind that is immensely superior, namely heavenly peace, described immediately above. No one can be granted this peace unless he is led by the Lord and abides in the Lord, that is, unless he is in heaven where the Lord is the All in all. For heavenly peace enters in when the desires that spring from self-love and love of the world are removed; for those desires take peace away, molesting a person inwardly and causing him at length to consider rest to consist in unrest and peace in molestations, because he considers delight to consist in evil desires. All the time a person is subject to these desires he cannot by any means know what peace is; indeed during all that time he believes that such peace is of no worth. And should anyone say that one experiences this peace when the delights that spring from self-love and love of the world are removed he laughs at the idea, for the reason that he considers peace to consist in the delight taken in evil, which is the opposite of peace.

[3] Such being the nature of peace, that is to say, it is what is central to every form of happiness and bliss and is therefore what reigns universally within every individual thing, the ancients therefore used the common saying 'Peace to you', meaning May all be well; or else they would ask people 'Did they have peace?' meaning Was all well with them? See what has been stated and shown already regarding peace,

Peace in heaven is like spring and the dawn on earth, 1726, 2780.

In the highest sense 'peace' is the Lord; in the representative sense it is His kingdom, also the Lord's Divine affecting inmostly what is good, 3780, 4681.

All unrest is due to evil and falsity, whereas peace is due to goodness and truth, 3170.
