Postanak 40

Studie

   

1 Posle toga dogodi se, te peharnik cara misirskog i hlebar skriviše gospodaru svom, caru misirskom.

2 I Faraon se razgnevi na ta dva dvoranina, na starešinu nad peharnicima i na starešinu nad hlebarima;

3 I baci ih u tamnicu u kući zapovednika stražarskog, gde Josif beše sužanj.

4 A zapovednik stražarski odredi im Josifa da ih služi; i behu dugo u tamnici.

5 I usniše san obojica u jednu noć, svaki po značenju svog sna za sebe, i peharnik i hlebar cara misirskog, koji behu sužnji u tamnici.

6 I sutradan kad dođe Josif k njima, pogleda ih, a oni behu vrlo neveseli.

7 Pa zapita dvorane Faraonove, koji behu sužnji s njim u kući gospodara njegovog, i reče: Što ste danas lica neveselog?

8 A oni mu rekoše: San usnismo obojica, a nema ko da nam kaže šta znače. A Josif im reče: Šta znače, nije li u Boga? Ali pripovedite mi.

9 I starešina nad peharnicima pripovedi san svoj Josifu govoreći: Snih, a preda mnom čokot;

10 I na čokotu behu tri loze, i napupi i procvate, i grožđe na njemu uzre;

11 A u ruci mi beše čaša Faraonova, te pobrah zrelo grožđe i iscedih ga u čašu Faraonovu, i dodadoh čašu Faraonu.

12 A Josif mu reče: Ovo znači: tri su loze tri dana.

13 Još tri dana, i Faraon brojeći svoje dvorane uzeće i tebe, i opet te postaviti u pređašnju službu, i opet ćeš mu dodavati čašu kao i pre dok si mu bio peharnik.

14 Ali nemoj zaboraviti mene kad budeš u dobru, učini milost i pomeni za me Faraonu, i izvedi me iz ove kuće.

15 Jer su me ukrali iz zemlje jevrejske, a ovde nisam ništa učinio da me bace u ovu jamu.

16 A kad vide starešina nad hlebarima kako lepo kaza san, reče Josifu: i ja snih, a meni na glavi tri kotarice bele;

17 I u najgornjoj kotarici beše svakojakih kolača za Faraona, i ptice jeđahu iz kotarice na mojoj glavi.

18 A Josif odgovori i reče: Ovo znači: tri kotarice tri su dana.

19 Još tri dana, i Faraon brojeći dvorane svoje izbaciće te i obesiće te na vešala, i ptice će jesti s tebe meso.

20 I kad dođe treći dan, to beše dan u koji se rodio Faraon, i učini Faraon gozbu svim slugama svojim, i naiđe među slugama svojim na starešinu nad peharnicima i na starešinu nad hlebarima;

21 I povrati starešinu nad peharnicima u službu da dodaje čašu Faraonu;

22 A starešinu nad hlebarima obesi, kao što kaza Josif.

23 I starešina nad peharnicima ne opomenu se Josifa, nego ga zaboravi.

5134. 'And bring me out of this house' means a release from evils. This is clear from the meaning of 'bringing out' as a release, and from the meaning of 'house' as good, dealt with in 710, 1708, 2048, 2233, 3128, 3652, 3720, 4982, and therefore, in the contrary sense, as evil. From this it is evident that 'bring me out of this house' means a release from evils, a meaning that also follows the preceding train of thought, which is this: When faith is received within the exterior natural, which is the subject here, 5130, a correspondence is effected, 5131, and when charity is received, 5132, and a communication is thereby effected with the interior natural, 5133, the exterior natural is at that point released from the evils which had caused the celestial represented by 'Joseph', 5086, 5087, 5106, to become alienated - that alienation being meant by the words which follow next, stating that he was taken away by theft. Furthermore, when the natural is regenerated by means of charity and faith it is released from evils; for when it is regenerated the evils are set apart and cast away from the centre, where they were previously, to the fringes, which the light of truth from good does not reach. In man's case evils are set apart in this manner; yet they still remain, for they cannot be completely destroyed. But with the Lord, who made the natural within Himself Divine, evils and falsities were cast out and completely destroyed. For the Divine cannot have anything at all in common with evils and falsities, or be encompassed by them, as is the case with man; for the Divine is the Essential Being (Esse) of good and truth, and that Being exists an infinite distance away from everything evil and false.
