Postanak 49

Studie

   

1 Posle sazva Jakov sinove svoje i reče: Skupite se da vam javim šta će vam biti do posletka.

2 Skupite se i poslušajte, sinovi Jakovljevi, poslušajte Izrailja oca svog.

3 Ruvime, ti si prvenac moj, krepost moja i početak sile moje; prvi gospodstvom i prvi snagom.

4 Navro si kao voda; nećeš biti prvi; jer si stao na postelju oca svog i oskvrnio je legav na nju.

5 Simeun i Levije, braća, mačevi su im oružje nepravdi.

6 U tajne njihove da ne ulazi duša moja, sa zborom njihovim da se ne sastavlja slava moja; jer u gnevu svom pobiše ljude, i za svoje veselje pokidaše volove.

7 Proklet da je gnev njihov, što beše nagao, i ljutina njihova, što beše žestoka; razdeliću ih po Jakovu, i rasuću ih po Izrailju.

8 Juda, tebe će hvaliti braća tvoja, a ruka će ti biti za vratom neprijateljima tvojim, i klanjaće ti se sinovi oca tvog.

9 Laviću Juda! S plena si se vratio, sine moj; spusti se i leže kao lav i kao ljuti lav; ko će ga probuditi?

10 Palica vladalačka neće se odvojiti od Jude niti od nogu njegovih onaj koji postavlja zakon, dokle ne dođe Onaj kome pripada, i Njemu će se pokoravati narodi.

11 Veže za čokot magare svoje, i za plemenitu lozu mlade od magarice svoje; u vinu pere haljinu svoju i ogrtač svoj u soku od grožđa.

12 Oči mu se crvene od vina i zubi bele od mleka.

13 Zavulon će živeti pokraj mora i gde pristaju lađe, a međa će mu biti do Sidona.

14 Isahar je magarac jak u kostima, koji leži u toru,

15 I vide da je počivanje dobro i da je zemlja mila, sagnuće ramena svoja da nosi, i plaćaće danak.

16 Dan će suditi svom narodu, kao jedno između plemena Izrailjevih.

17 Dan će biti zmija na putu i guja na stazi, koja ujeda konja za kičicu, te pada konj na uznako.

18 Gospode, Tebe čekam da me izbaviš.

19 A Gad, njega će vojska savladati; ali će najposle on nadvladati.

20 U Asira će biti obilata hrana, i on će davati slasti carske.

21 Neftalim je košuta puštena, i govoriće lepe reči.

22 Josif je rodna grana, rodna grana kraj izvora, kojoj se ogranci raširiše svrh zida.

23 Ako ga i ucveliše ljuto i streljaše na nj, i biše mu neprijatelji strelci,

24 Opet osta jak luk njegov i ojačaše mišice ruku njegovih od ruku jakog Boga Jakovljevog, odakle posta pastir, kamen Izrailju,

25 Od silnog Boga oca tvog, koji će ti pomagati, i od Svemogućeg, koji će te blagosloviti blagoslovima ozgo s neba, blagoslovima ozdo iz bezdana, blagoslovima od dojaka i od materice.

26 Blagoslovi oca tvog nadvisiše blagoslove mojih starih svrh brda večnih, neka budu nad glavom Josifovom i nad temenom odvojenog između braće.

27 Venijamin je vuk grabljivi, jutrom jede lov, a večerom deli plen.

28 Ovo su dvanaest plemena Izrailjevih, i ovo im otac izgovori kad ih blagoslovi, svako blagoslovom njegovim blagoslovi ih.

29 Potom im zapovedi i reče im: Kad se priberem k rodu svom, pogrebite me kod otaca mojih u pećini koja je na njivi Efrona Hetejina,

30 U pećini koja je na njivi makpelskoj prema Mamriji u zemlji hananskoj, koju kupi Avram s njivom u Efrona Hetejina da ima svoj grob.

31 Onde pogrebe Avrama i Saru ženu njegovu, onde pogreboše Isaka i Reveku ženu njegovu, i onde pogreboh Liju.

32 A kupljena je njiva i pećina na njoj u sinova Hetovih.

33 A kad izgovori Jakov zapovesti sinovima svojim, diže noge svoje na postelju, i umre, i pribran bi k rodu svom.

6442. 'He will seize in the morning, he will devour the spoil' means that the deliverance takes place when the Lord is present. This is clear from the meaning of 'the morning' in the highest sense as the Lord, dealt with in 2405, 2780 - therefore 'he will seize in the morning' means that the rescue and deliverance of the good takes place when the Lord is present; and from the meaning of 'devouring the spoil' as taking to Himself those He rescued and delivered. For the meaning of 'devouring' as taking and joining to oneself, see 3168, 3513 (end), 3596, 5643; and as for the meaning of 'the spoil' as those who have been rescued and delivered, this is self-evident. Because the Lord is spoken of in the Word as One who rescues and delivers the good, the expressions to seize, prey, spoil, and plunder are also used in reference to Him. This is clear from what was stated above in verse 9 about Judah, 'A lion's cub is Judah; from the plunder you have gone up, my son', meaning that from the Lord through the celestial comes deliverance from hell, see 6368. It is also clear from other places in the Word, as in Isaiah,

Jehovah's roaring is like that of a lion, He roars like young lions, and growls, and lays hold of the plunder so that no one rescues it. Isaiah 5:29.

In the same prophet,

As a lion roars, and a young lion over his prey, so Jehovah Zebaoth will come down to fight on Mount Zion. Isaiah 31:4.

In Jeremiah,

I will rescue you on that day, I will surely rescue you; but let your life 1 be as spoil to you, for the reason that you have put your trust in Me. Jeremiah 39:17-18.

In Zephaniah,

Wait for Me, said Jehovah, until the day I rise up to the plunder. Zephaniah 3:8.

In Isaiah,

I will divide for Him among many, so that He may divide the spoil with the strong. Isaiah 53:12.

The whole chapter in which this verse appears refers to the Lord.

[2] The meaning of 'devouring the prey (or spoil)' as taking to oneself good things that have been seized by the evil is clear in Balaam's prophetic utterance in Moses,

See, a people will rise up like an old lion, and like a young lion will lift itself up. He will not rest until he has devoured the prey. Numbers 23:24.

From all these quotations it is evident that 'prey', 'spoil', and 'plunder mean the rescue and deliverance of the good by the Lord. The truth that 'Benjamin' represents is said to be what rescues and delivers, because power is an attribute of truth, 3091, 4931, though it derives such power from good, 6344, 6423.

6368. 'From the plunder you have gone up, my son means that through the celestial the Lord accomplishes the deliverance of many from hell. This is clear from the meaning of 'going up from the plunder' as deliverance from hell, dealt with below; and from the representation of Judah, to whom 'my son' refers here, as the Divine celestial, dealt with in 6363. The reason 'going up from the plunder' means deliverance from hell is that left to himself a person is in hell, for his will and thought, when they spring wholly from himself, are nothing but evil and derivative falsity, which tie him so firmly to hell that he cannot be torn away except by force. This tearing away and deliverance is what is called 'the plunder'; and because that is effected by the power of the Lord's Divine Good, it is said that through the celestial the Lord accomplishes the deliverance of many from hell.

[2] But it should be recognized that no one can be torn away and delivered from hell unless during his lifetime spiritual good, that is, charity that comes through faith, has existed in him; for unless that good coming through faith has been present in him, there is nothing that can receive the good which flows in from the Lord. Instead that good from Him flows straight through, without being able to become fixed anywhere. Consequently those lacking spiritual good cannot be torn away and delivered from hell. For all the states that a person has attained during his lifetime remain with him in the next life and are developed more fully. Good states with the good remain and are filled out with good, and by means of them those people are raised into heaven; and evil states with the evil remain and are filled with evil, and by means of them these people sink down into hell. This is what is meant by the saying that as a person dies, so he remains. From this it is evident who those people are who can be delivered from hell by the Lord through the Divine celestial.
