Бытие 40

Studie

   

1 После сего виночерпий царя Египетского и хлебодар провинились пред господином своим, царем Египетским.

2 И прогневался фараон на двух царедворцев своих, на главного виночерпия и на главного хлебодара,

3 и отдал их под стражу в дом начальника телохранителей, в темницу, в место, где заключен был Иосиф.

4 Начальник телохранителей приставил к ним Иосифа, и он служил им. И пробыли они подстражею несколько времени.

5 Однажды виночерпию и хлебодару царя Египетского, заключенным в темнице, виделись сны, каждому свой сон, обоим в одну ночь, каждому сон особенного значения.

6 И пришел к ним Иосиф поутру, увидел их, и вот, они в смущении.

7 И спросил он царедворцев фараоновых, находившихся с ним в доме господина его под стражею, говоря: отчего у вас сегодня печальные лица?

8 Они сказали ему: нам виделись сны; а истолковать их некому. Иосифсказал им: не от Бога ли истолкования? расскажите мне.

9 И рассказал главный виночерпий Иосифу сон свой и сказал ему: мне снилось, вот виноградная лоза предо мною;

10 на лозе три ветви; она развилась, показался на ней цвет, вырослии созрели на ней ягоды;

11 и чаша фараонова в руке у меня; я взял ягод, выжал их в чашу фараонову и подал чашу в руку фараону.

12 И сказал ему Иосиф: вот истолкование его: три ветви – это три дня;

13 через три дня фараон вознесет главу твою и возвратит тебя на место твое, и ты подашь чашу фараонову в руку его, по прежнему обыкновению, когда ты был у него виночерпием;

14 вспомни же меня, когда хорошо тебе будет, и сделай мне благодеяние, и упомяни обо мне фараону, и выведи меня из этого дома,

15 ибо я украден из земли Евреев; а также и здесь ничего не сделал, за что бы бросить меня в темницу.

16 Главный хлебодар увидел, что истолковал он хорошо, и сказал Иосифу: мне также снилось: вот на голове у меня три корзины решетчатых;

17 в верхней корзине всякая пища фараонова, изделие пекаря, и птицы клевали ее из корзины на голове моей.

18 И отвечал Иосиф и сказал: вот истолкование его: три корзины – этотри дня;

19 через три дня фараон снимет с тебя голову твою и повесит тебя надереве, и птицы будут клевать плоть твою с тебя.

20 На третий день, день рождения фараонова, сделал он пир для всех слуг своих и вспомнил о главном виночерпии и главном хлебодаре среди слуг своих;

21 и возвратил главного виночерпия на прежнее место, и он подал чашу в руку фараону,

22 а главного хлебодара повесил, как истолковал им Иосиф.

23 И не вспомнил главный виночерпий об Иосифе, но забыл его.

5092. 'Each his dream in one night' means regarding what the outcome would be, which to them lay in obscurity. This is clear from the meaning of 'a dream' as foresight and consequent foretelling - and because a foretelling is meant, so also is the outcome, it being the outcome that is foretold; and from the meaning of 'night' as obscurity. In the spiritual sense 'night' means a state of shade brought about through falsity that is the product of evil, 1712, 2353, and so also obscurity, that is to say, mental obscurity. The obscurity belonging to night in the world is natural obscurity, but the obscurity belonging to night in the next life is spiritual obscurity. Natural obscurity comes about because the sun of the world is absent and the light received from it is lost, whereas spiritual obscurity comes about because heaven's sun, which is the Lord, is absent and the light, that is, intelligence received from it, is lost. This latter loss does not arise because the sun of heaven sets as the sun of the world does, but because a person or a spirit is living amid falsity that is the product of evil. He himself moves away from that sun and brings obscurity to himself.

[2] An idea simply of night and of the obscurity that comes with it is sufficient to enable one to see how the spiritual sense and the natural sense of something are related to each other. Furthermore there are three kinds of spiritual obscurity - the first being that which is due to falsity that is a product of evil; the second being that which is due to ignorance of the truth; and the third being the obscurity in which exterior things dwell, compared with interior ones, and so the obscurity in which ideas formed by the senses and present in the external man dwell, compared with the rational concepts present in the internal man. All three kinds of obscurity arise however because the light of heaven, or intelligence and wisdom flowing from the Lord, is not received. This light shines unceasingly, but falsity that is a product of evil either rejects, smothers, or else perverts it; ignorance of truth receives only a little; while ideas formed by the senses that are present in the external man reduce it to a dim light by making it a general or ordinary one.

Genesis 40

Studie

   

1 It happened after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

3 He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.

5 They both dreamed a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.

6 Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.

7 He asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"

8 They said to him, "We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it." Joseph said to them, "Don't interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me."

9 The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,

10 and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.

11 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand."

12 Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

13 Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cupbearer.

14 But remember me when it will be well with you, and please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.

15 For indeed, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon."

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, "I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.

17 In the uppermost basket there was all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head."

18 Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation. The three baskets are three days.

19 Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you."

20 It happened the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand;

22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

23 Yet the chief cupbearer didn't remember Joseph, but forgot him.
