Studie

   

1 Tada pođe Izrailj sa svim šta imaše, i došav u Virsaveju prinese žrtvu Bogu oca svog Isaka.

2 I Bog reče Izrailju noću u utvari: Jakove! Jakove! A on odgovori: Evo me.

3 I Bog mu reče: Ja sam Bog, Bog oca tvog; ne boj se otići u Misir; jer ću onde načiniti od tebe narod velik.

4 Ja ću ići s tobom u Misir, i ja ću te odvesti onamo, i Josif će metnuti ruku svoju na oči tvoje.

5 I pođe Jakov od Virsaveje; i sinovi Izrailjevi posadiše Jakova, oca svog i decu svoju i žene svoje na kola koja posla Faraon po nj.

6 I uzeše stoku svoju i blago svoje što behu stekli u zemlji hananskoj; i dođoše u Misir Jakov i sva porodica njegova.

7 Sinove svoje i sinove sinova svojih, kćeri svoje i kćeri sinova svojih, i svu porodicu svoju dovede sa sobom u Misir.

8 A ovo su imena dece Izrailjeve što dođoše u Misir: Jakov i sinovi njegovi. Prvenac Jakovljev Ruvim;

9 I sinovi Ruvimovi: Enoh, Faluj, Esron i Harmija.

10 A sinovi Simeunovi: Jemuilo, Jamin, Aod, Jahin, Soar i Saul, sin jedne Hananejke.

11 Sinovi Levijevi: Girson, Kat i Merarije.

12 Sinovi Judini: Ir, Avnan, Silom, Fares i Zara; a umrli behu Ir i Avnan u zemlji hananskoj, ali behu sinovi Faresovi Esrom i Jemuilo.

13 Sinovi Isaharovi: Tola, Fuva, Jov, i Simron.

14 Sinovi Zavulonovi: Sered, Alon, i Ahojilo.

15 To su sinovi Lijini, koje rodi Jakovu u Padan-Aramu, i jošte Dina kći njegova. Svega duša, sinova njegovih i kćeri njegovih beše trideset i tri.

16 Sinovi Gadovi: Sifon, Agije, Sunije, Esvon, Irije, Arodije i Arilije.

17 Sinovi Asirovi: Jemna, Jesva, Jesvija i Verija, i sestra njihova Sara. A sinovi Verijini Hovor i Melhilo.

18 To su sinovi Zelfe, koju dade Lavan Liji kćeri svojoj, i ona ih rodi Jakovu, šesnaest duša.

19 A sinovi Rahilje žene Jakovljeve: Josif i Venijamin.

20 A Josifu se rodiše u Misiru od Asenete, kćeri Potifere sveštenika onskog: Manasija i Jefrem.

21 A sinovi Venijaminovi: Vela, Veher, Asvil, Gira, Naman, Ihije, Ros, Mupim, Upim i Arad.

22 To su sinovi Rahiljini što se rodiše Jakovu, svega četrnaest duša.

23 I sin Danov: Asom.

24 A sinovi Neftalimovi: Asilo, Gunije, Jeser i Silim.

25 To su sinovi Vale, koju dade Lavan Rahilji kćeri svojoj i ona ih rodi Jakovu; svega sedam duša.

26 A svega duša što dođoše s Jakovom u Misir, a izađoše od bedara njegovih, osim žena sinova Jakovljevih, svega duša beše šezdeset i šest.

27 I dva sina Josifova koji mu se rodiše u Misiru; svega dakle duša doma Jakovljevog, što dođoše u Misir, beše sedamdeset.

28 A Judu posla Jakov napred k Josifu, da mu javi da izađe preda nj u Gesem. I dođoše u zemlju gesemsku.

29 A Josif upreže u kola svoja, i izađe na susret Izrailju ocu svom u Gesem; i kad ga vide Jakov, pade mu oko vrata, i plaka dugo o vratu njegovom.

30 I reče Izrailj Josifu: Sada ne marim umreti kad sam te video da si jošte živ.

31 A Josif reče braći svojoj i domu oca svog: Idem da javim Faraonu; ali ću mu kazati: Braća moja i dom oca mog iz zemlje hananske dođoše k meni;

32 A ti su ljudi pastiri i svagda su se bavili oko stoke, i dovedoše ovce svoje i goveda svoja i šta god imaju.

33 A kad vas Faraon dozove, reći će vam: Kakvu radnju radite?

34 A vi kažite: Pastiri su bile sluge tvoje od mladosti, i mi i stari naši; da biste ostali u zemlji gesemskoj; jer su Misircima svi Pastiri nečisti.

6039. Verses 31-34. And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father’s house, I will go up, and will tell Pharaoh, and will say unto him, My brethren, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me; and the men are shepherds of the flock, for they are men of cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have. And it may be that Pharaoh will call you, and will say, What are your works? And ye shall say, Thy servants have been men of cattle from their youth even until now, both we, and our fathers; in order that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd of the flock is an abomination of the Egyptians.

“And Joseph said unto his brethren,” signifies the perception of truths in the natural; “and unto his father’s house” signifies of goods there; “I will go up and will tell Pharaoh” signifies communication with the natural where are the memory-knowledges of the church; “and will say unto him, My brethren, and my father’s house, who were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me,” signifies in respect to the truths and the goods of the church, that they are to be initiated; “and the men are shepherds of the flock,” signifies that they lead to good; “for they are men of cattle,” signifies that they have good from truths; “and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have,” signifies that good interior and exterior, and whatever is thence, is present; “and it may be that Pharaoh will call you,” signifies if the natural in which are the memory-knowledges of the church wills to be conjoined; “and will say, What are your works?” signifies and to know your goods; “and ye shall say, Thy servants have been men of cattle from their youth even until now,” signifies that from the beginning and as yet they have truths from which is good; “both we, and our fathers” signifies that it was so from the first goods; “in order that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen,” signifies so shall your residence be in the midst of the natural where are the memory-knowledges of the church; “for every shepherd of the flock is an abomination of the Egyptians,” signifies separation thus from perverted memory-knowledges which are opposed to the memory-knowledges of the church.
