Genesis 45

Studie

   

1 Nang magkagayon ay hindi nakapagpigil si Jose sa harap nilang lahat na nakatayo sa siping niya; at sumigaw, Paalisin ninyo ang lahat ng tao sa aking harap. At walang taong tumayo na kasama niya samantalang si Jose ay napakikilala sa kaniyang mga kapatid.

2 At siya'y umiyak ng malakas: at narinig ng mga Egipcio, at narinig ng sangbahayan ni Faraon.

3 At sinabi ni Jose sa kaniyang mga kapatid, Ako'y si Jose; buhay pa ba ang aking ama? At ang kaniyang mga kapatid ay hindi mangakasagot sa kaniya: sapagka't sila'y nagugulumihanan sa kaniyang harap.

4 At sinabi ni Jose sa kaniyang mga kapatid, Lumapit kayo sa akin, isinasamo ko sa inyo. At sila'y lumapit. At kaniyang sinabi: Ako'y si Jose na inyong kapatid, na inyong ipinagbili upang dalhin sa Egipto.

5 At ngayo'y huwag kayong magdalamhati, o magalit man sa inyong sarili na inyo akong ipinagbili rito: sapagka't sinugo ako ng Dios sa unahan ninyo upang magadya ng buhay.

6 Sapagka't may dalawang taon nang ang kagutom ay nasa lupain; at may limang taon pang hindi magkakaroon ng pagbubukid, o pagaani man.

7 At sinugo ako ng Dios sa unahan ninyo upang papanatilihin kayong pinakalahi sa lupa, at upang iligtas kayong buhay sa pamamagitan ng dakilang pagliligtas.

8 Hindi nga kayo ang nagsugo sa akin dito, kundi ang Dios: at kaniya akong ginawang ama kay Faraon, at panginoon sa buo niyang bahay, at tagapamahala ng buong lupain ng Egipto.

9 Magmadali kayo, at pumaroon kayo sa aking ama, at sabihin ninyo sa kaniya: Ganito ang sabi ng iyong anak na si Jose: Ginawa akong panginoon ng Dios sa buong Egipto: pumarito ka sa akin, huwag kang magluwat.

10 At ikaw ay tatahan sa lupain ng Gosen, at malalapit ka sa akin, ikaw at ang iyong mga anak, at ang mga anak ng iyong mga anak, at ang iyong mga kawan, at ang iyong mga bakahan, at ang iyong buong tinatangkilik.

11 At doo'y kakandilihin kita; sapagka't may limang taong kagutom pa; baka ikaw ay madukha, ikaw at ang iyong sangbahayan, at ang lahat ng iyo.

12 At, narito, nakikita ng inyong mga mata at ng mga mata ng aking kapatid na si Benjamin, na ang aking bibig ang nagsasalita sa inyo.

13 At inyong sasaysayin sa aking ama ang aking buong kaluwalhatian sa Egipto, at ang inyong buong nakita; at kayo'y magmamadali at inyong ibababa rito ang aking ama.

14 At siya'y humilig sa leeg ng kaniyang kapatid na si Benjamin, at umiyak; at si Benjamin ay umiyak sa ibabaw ng kaniyang leeg.

15 At kaniyang hinagkan ang lahat niyang kapatid, at umiyak sa kanila: at pagkatapos ay nakipagsalitaan sa kaniya ang kaniyang mga kapatid.

16 At ang kabantugang yaon ay naibalita sa sangbahayan ni Faraon, na sinasabi, Nagsidating ang mga kapatid ni Jose: at ikinalugod ni Faraon, at ng kaniyang mga lingkod.

17 At sinabi ni Faraon kay Jose, Sabihin mo sa iyong mga kapatid, Ito'y gawin ninyo: pasanan ninyo ang inyong mga hayop, at kayo'y yumaon, umuwi sa lupain ng Canaan;

18 At dalhin ninyo ang inyong ama at ang inyong mga sangbahayan, at pumarito kayo sa akin: at aking ibibigay sa inyo ang pinakamabuti sa lupain ng Egipto, at kakanin ninyo ang katabaan ng lupain.

19 Ngayo'y inuutusan ka, ito'y gawin ninyo; kumuha kayo ng mga kariton sa lupain ng Egipto para sa inyong mga bata, at sa inyong mga asawa, at dalhin ninyo rito ang inyong ama, at kayo'y pumarito.

20 Huwag din ninyong lingapin ang inyong pag-aari; dahil sa ang buti ng buong lupain ng Egipto ay inyo.

21 At ginawang gayon ng mga anak ni Israel: at binigyan sila ni Jose ng mga kariton, ayon sa utos ni Faraon, at sila'y binigyan ng mababaon sa daan.

22 Sa kanilang lahat ay nagbigay siya ng mga pangpalit na bihisan; nguni't kay Benjamin ay nagbigay siya ng tatlong daang putol na pilak, at limang pangpalit na bihisan.

23 At sa kaniyang ama ay nagpadala siya ng ganitong paraan; sangpung asnong may pasang mabuting mga bagay sa Egipto, at sangpung asna na may pasang trigo at tinapay at pagkain ng kaniyang ama sa daan.

24 Sa ganito ay kaniyang pinapagpaalam ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at sila'y yumaon: at kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Huwag kayong magkaaalit sa daan.

25 At sila'y sumumpa mula sa Egipto, at naparoon sa lupain ng Canaan, kay Jacob na kanilang ama.

26 At kanilang isinaysay sa kaniya, na sinasabi, Si Jose ay buhay pa, at siya'y puno sa buong lupain ng Egipto. At ang kaniyang puso ay nanglupaypay, sapagka't di niya pinaniwalaan sila.

27 At kanilang isinaysay sa kaniya ang lahat ng salita ni Jose, na kaniyang sinabi sa kanila: nang kaniyang makita ang mga karitong ipinadala ni Jose upang dalhin sa kaniya, ay nagsauli ang diwa ni Jacob na kanilang ama.

28 At sinabi ni Israel, Siya na; si Jose na aking anak ay buhay pa: ako'y paroroon at titingnan ko siya, bago ako mamatay.

5871. 'Make every man go out from me' means that incompatible and contradictory factual knowledge was to be cast away from the centre. This is clear from the meaning of 'every man from him' as factual knowledge, for the men were Egyptians, and by 'Egyptians' is meant factual knowledge, see 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462, 5700, 5702; and since it was cast aside it follows that it was incompatible and contradictory. For the situation is this: When the truths present in the external or natural man become joined to the good present in the internal man - that is, when the truths of faith are joined to the good of charity - all factual knowledge which is incompatible, and especially that which is contradictory, is cast away from the centre to the sides, thus from the light in the centre to the shadowy parts at the sides. When this happens that knowledge is in part disregarded and in part treated as valueless. But from the remaining factual knowledge which is compatible and harmonious, a kind of extraction - or if one can use the expression, a kind of distillation - takes place, from which the inner meaning of things is obtained, a meaning that no one perceives while in the body except through some joyful feeling, like that experienced at daybreak. Such is the way in which the joining of the truth of faith to the good of charity is effected.

5702. 'Since that is an abomination to the Egyptians' means that they are in a contrary position. This is clear from the representation of 'the Egyptians' as those with whom order has been inverted, 5700; and from the representation of 'the Hebrews', to eat with whom was an abomination to the Egyptians, as those with whom genuine order exists, 5701. Thus the two are set in contrary positions, and this gives rise to strong dislike and at length to what is an abomination. Regarding this abomination, it should be recognized that people with whom an inverted state of order, that is, evil and consequent falsity, exists, thereby come at length to acquire a strong dislike for the goodness and truth of the Church the moment they hear it referred to. This is even more true when they hear reference made to the interior aspects of that goodness and truth; they find these so abominable that so to speak they feel nauseated and wish to vomit. This is what I have been told and shown to be so when I have wondered why the Christian world does not accept the interior teachings of the Word. Spirits from the Christian world have appeared on the scene and have been compelled to hear about the interior teachings of the Word; they were then so nauseated by these that they said they felt within themselves the great need to vomit. I have also been told that this is what the Christian world is like virtually everywhere at the present day. The reason it is like this is that it has no affection for truth for its own sake, still less any affection for good motivated by good. Anything they think or say that is based on the Word or their religious teachings is due to habit followed since early childhood and to religious custom, and so is something external devoid of anything internal.

[2] The fact that all aspects of the Hebrew Church, the one established at a later time among the descendants of Jacob, were an abomination to the Egyptians is evident not only from their refusal even to eat with them but also from the fact that sacrifices, in which the Hebrew Church made its main worship consist, were an abomination to them, as is evident in Moses,

Pharaoh said, Go away, sacrifice within the land. But Moses said, It is incorrect to do so, for we shall be sacrificing to Jehovah our God what is an abomination to the Egyptians; behold, if we sacrifice what is an abomination to the Egyptians in their eyes, will they not stone us? Exodus 8:25-26.

Also, feeding cattle and being a shepherd was an abomination to them, as is evident again in Moses,

Every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians. Genesis 46:34.

Thus every aspect of that Church was an abomination to the Egyptians. The reason was that initially even the Egyptians had been among those who constituted the representative Ancient Church, 1238, 2385. But after that they rejected the God of the Ancient Church, who was Jehovah or the Lord, and served idols, in particular calves. Also the actual representatives and meaningful signs of the celestial and spiritual realities of the Ancient Church, which they came to know while part of that Church, were turned by them into magical practices. This being so, order with them became inverted, as a consequence of which everything constituting the Church was an abomination.
