Génesis 45

Studie

   

1 Entonces José no pudo contenerse delante de todos los que estaban al lado suyo, y clamó: Haced salir de mi presencia a todos. Y no quedó nadie con él, para darse a conocer José a sus hermanos.

2 Entonces dio su voz con lloro; y oyeron los egipcios, y oyó también la casa del Faraón.

3 Y dijo José a sus hermanos: Yo soy José: ¿vive aún mi padre? Y sus hermanos no pudieron responderle, porque estaban turbados delante de él.

4 Entonces dijo José a sus hermanos: Llegaos ahora a mí. Y ellos se llegaron. Y él dijo: Yo soy José vuestro hermano, el que vendisteis a Egipto.

5 Ahora pues, no os entristezcáis, ni os pese de haberme vendido acá; que para vida me envió Dios delante de vosotros;

6 que ya han sido dos años de hambre en medio de la tierra, y aún quedan cinco años en que ni habrá arada ni siega.

7 Y Dios me envió delante de vosotros, para que vosotros quedaseis en la tierra, y para daros vida por grande libertad.

8 Así pues, no me enviasteis vosotros acá, sino Dios, que me ha puesto por padre del Faraón, y por señor a toda su casa, y por enseñoreador en toda la tierra de Egipto.

9 Daos prisa, id a mi padre y decidle: Así dice tu hijo José: Dios me ha puesto por señor de todo Egipto; ven a mí, no te detengas.

10 Y habitarás en la tierra de Gosén, y estarás cerca de mí, tú y tus hijos, y los hijos de tus hijos, tus ganados y tus vacas, y todo lo que tienes.

11 Y allí te alimentaré, pues aún quedan cinco años de hambre, para que no perezcas de pobreza tú y tu casa, y todo lo que tienes.

12 Y he aquí, vuestros ojos ven, y los ojos de mi hermano Benjamín, que mi boca os habla.

13 Haréis pues saber a mi padre toda mi gloria en Egipto, y todo lo que habéis visto; y daos prisa, y traed a mi padre acá.

14 Y se echó sobre el cuello de Benjamín su hermano, y lloró; y también Benjamín lloró sobre su cuello.

15 Y besó a todos sus hermanos, y lloró sobre ellos; y después sus hermanos hablaron con él.

16 Y se oyó la noticia en la casa del Faraón, diciendo: Los hermanos de José han venido. Y agradó a los ojos del Faraón y de sus siervos.

17 Y dijo el Faraón a José: Di a tus hermanos: Haced esto: cargad vuestras bestias, e id, volved a la tierra de Canaán;

18 y tomad a vuestro padre y vuestras familias, y venid a mí, que yo os daré lo bueno de la tierra de Egipto y comeréis la grosura de la tierra.

19 Y tú manda: Haced esto: tomaos de la tierra de Egipto carros para vuestros niños y vuestras mujeres; y tomad a vuestro padre, y venid.

20 Y no se os preocupe por vuestras alhajas, porque el bien de la tierra de Egipto será vuestro.

21 Y lo hicieron así los hijos de Israel; y les dio José carros conforme a la orden del Faraón, y les suministró mantenimiento para el camino.

22 A cada uno de todos ellos dio mudas de vestidos, y a Benjamín dio trescientas piezas de plata, y cinco mudas de vestidos.

23 Y a su padre envió esto: diez asnos cargados de lo mejor de Egipto, y diez asnas cargadas de trigo, y pan, y comida para su padre para el camino.

24 Y despidió a sus hermanos, y se fueron. Y él les dijo: No riñáis por el camino.

25 Y subieron de Egipto, y llegaron a la tierra de Canaán a Jacob su padre.

26 Y le dieron las nuevas, diciendo: José vive aún; y él es señor en toda la tierra de Egipto. Y su corazón se desmayó; pues no los creía.

27 Y ellos le contaron todas las palabras de José, que él les había hablado; y viendo él los carros que José enviaba para llevarlo, el espíritu de Jacob su padre revivió.

28 Entonces dijo Israel: Basta; José mi hijo vive todavía; iré, y le veré antes que yo muera.

5894. 'And there are still five years' means the duration of that state until remnants shine forth. This is clear from the meaning of 'five' as remnants, dealt with in 5291; and from the meaning of 'years' as states, as immediately above in 5893, duration being meant by still that number of years. From these meanings it is evident that the words used here mean the duration of that state until remnants shine forth. Remnants are the truths and forms of good stored away by the Lord in a person's interior man, see 468, 530, 560, 561, 660, 1050, 1738, 1906, 2284, 5135, 5342. At this point the remnants are recognitions of and affections for truth before good reveals itself. They shine forth together with that good; but until then they are taken out of store in the measure that they can contribute to some useful purpose in life. Such is the nature of the Lord's providential care, indeed His constant care, though a person may know nothing at all about it and does not even have a wish to know. For he refuses to recognize the existence of providence in every detail of life, when in fact it exists in the smallest details of all from the earliest stage of a person's life through to the last, and for evermore after that. The streams of providence coming together at any one point in each person's life are more than any conceivable number. This I know from heaven.

Genesis 45

Studie

   

1 Then Joseph couldn't control himself before all those who stood before him, and he cried, "Cause everyone to go out from me!" No one else stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.

2 He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.

3 Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Does my father still live?" His brothers couldn't answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.

4 Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, please." They came near. "He said, I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

5 Now don't be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.

7 God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.

8 So now it wasn't you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

9 Hurry, and go up to my father, and tell him, 'This is what your son Joseph says, "God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Don't wait.

10 You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children's children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.

11 There I will nourish you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have."'

12 Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.

13 You shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. You shall hurry and bring my father down here."

14 He fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.

15 He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him.

16 The report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.

17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this. Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan.

18 Take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.'

19 Now you are commanded: do this. Take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.

20 Also, don't concern yourselves about your belongings, for the good of all of the land of Egypt is yours."

21 The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.

22 He gave each one of them changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.

23 He sent the following to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.

24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, "See that you don't quarrel on the way."

25 They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.

26 They told him, saying, "Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt." His heart fainted, for he didn't believe them.

27 They told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. When he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, revived.

28 Israel said, "It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."
