Genesis 50

Studie

   

1 At yumakap si Jose sa mukha ng kaniyang ama, at umiyak sa ibabaw niya, at hinalikan niya siya.

2 At iniutos ni Jose sa kaniyang mga lingkod na manggagamot, na embalsamahin ang kaniyang ama: at inembalsama ng mga manggagamot si Israel.

3 At apat na pung araw ang ginanap sa kaniya; sapagka't gayon ginaganap ang mga araw ng pagembalsama; at tinangisan siya ng mga Egipcio ng pitong pung araw.

4 At nang makaraan ang mga araw ng pagiyak sa kaniya ay nagsalita si Jose sa sangbahayan ni Faraon, na sinasabi, Kung ngayo'y nakasumpong ako ng biyaya sa inyong mga mata ay salitain ninyo, isinasamo ko sa inyo, sa mga pakinig ni Faraon, na inyong sabihin,

5 Pinanumpa ako ng ama ko, na sinasabi, Narito, ako'y namamatay: sa libingan na aking hinukay sa akin sa lupain ng Canaan, ay doon mo ako ililibing. Ngayon nga'y pahintulutan ninyo akong umahon, isinasamo ko sa inyo, at aking ilibing ang aking ama, at babalik uli ako.

6 At sinabi ni Faraon, Umahon ka, at ilibing mo ang iyong ama, ayon sa kaniyang ipinasumpa sa iyo.

7 At umahon si Jose upang ilibing ang kaniyang ama: at kasama niyang umahon ang lahat ng lingkod ni Faraon, ang mga matanda sa kaniyang sangbahayan, at ang lahat na matanda sa lupain ng Egipto;

8 At ang buong sangbahayan ni Jose, at ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at ang sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama: ang kanila lamang mga bata, at ang kanilang mga kawan, at ang kanilang bakahan, ang iniwan nila sa lupain ng Gosen.

9 At umahong kasama niya ang mga karro at mga nangangabayo: at yao'y naging totoong malaking pulutong.

10 At sila'y dumating sa giikan ni Atad, na nasa dako pa roon ng Jordan, at doo'y nanaghoy sila ng malakas at kapaitpait na panaghoy: at kaniyang pinanangisan ang kaniyang ama na pitong araw.

11 At nang makita ng mga nananahan sa lupaing yaon, ng mga Cananeo, ang panaghoy sa giikan ni Atad, ay kanilang sinabi, Ito'y isang kahambalhambal na panaghoy ng mga Egipcio kaya't ang pangalang itinawag ay Abel-mizraim, nasa dako pa roon ng Jordan.

12 At ginawa sa kaniya ng kaniyang mga anak ang ayon sa iniutos sa kanila.

13 Sapagka't dinala siya ng kaniyang mga anak sa lupain ng Canaan, at inilibing siya sa yungib ng Machpela, na binili ni Abraham sangpu ng parang na pinakaaring libingan, kay Ephron na Hetheo, sa tapat ng Mamre.

14 At bumalik si Jose sa Egipto, siya, at ang kaniyang mga kapatid, at ang lahat na umahong kasama niya sa paglilibing sa kaniyang ama, pagkatapos na mailibing ang kaniyang ama.

15 At nang makita ng mga kapatid ni Jose, na ang kanilang ama'y namatay, ay kanilang sinabi, Marahil si Jose ay mapopoot sa atin, at lubos na gagantihin sa atin ang buong kasamaan na ating ginawa sa kaniya.

16 At ipinasabi nila kay Jose, Iniutos ng iyong ama bago namatay, na sinasabi,

17 Ganito sasabihin ninyo kay Jose. Ipatawad mo, isinasamo ko sa iyo ngayon, ang pagsalangsang ng iyong mga kapatid, at ang kanilang kasalanan; at ngayon, ay aming isinasamo sa iyo, na ipatawad mo ang mga pagsalangsang ng mga lingkod ng Dios ng iyong ama. At si Jose ay umiyak ng kanilang salitain sa kaniya.

18 At naparoon ang kaniyang mga kapatid naman at nagpatirapa sa harap niya; at kanilang sinabi, Narito, kaming iyong mga lingkod.

19 At sinabi ni Jose sa kanila, Huwag kayong matakot, sapagka't nasa kalagayan ba ako ng Dios?

20 At tungkol sa inyo ay inyong ipinalagay na kasamaan laban sa akin; nguni't ipinalagay ng Dios na kabutihan upang mangyari ang gaya sa araw na ito, na iligtas ang buhay ng maraming tao.

21 Kaya nga huwag kayong matakot: aking pakakanin kayo at ang inyong mga bata. At kaniyang inaliw sila at kaniyang pinagsalitaan sila na may kagandahang loob.

22 At si Jose ay tumahan sa Egipto, siya at ang sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama: at si Jose ay nabuhay na isang daan at sangpung taon.

23 At nakita ni Jose ang mga anak ni Ephraim hanggang sa ikatlong salin ng lahi; ang mga anak man ni Machir na anak ni Manases ay ipinanganak sa mga tuhod ni Jose.

24 At sinabi ni Jose sa kaniyang mga kapatid: Ako'y namamatay: nguni't tunay na dadalawin kayo ng Dios, at dadalhin kayo mula sa lupaing ito hanggang sa lupain na kaniyang isinumpa kay Abraham, kay Isaac at kay Jacob.

25 At ipinasumpa ni Jose sa mga anak ni Israel, na sinasabi, Tunay na dadalawin kayo ng Dios, at inyong iaahon ang aking mga buto mula rito.

26 Sa gayo'y namatay si Jose na may isang daan at sangpung taon: at kanilang inembalsama siya, at siya'y inilagay sa isang kabaong sa Egipto.

6524. 'The elders of his house' means the things that would accord with good. This is clear from the meaning of 'the elders' as the chief characteristics of wisdom, thus things that accord with good, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'house' as good, dealt with in 2559, 3652, 3720, 4982. The reason why 'elders' means the chief characteristics of wisdom is that in the Word 'old people' means those who are wise, and - in a sense detached from persons - wisdom. Since 'the twelve tribes of Israel' meant all truths and forms of good in their entirety, they had princes and also elders set over them. 'Princes' meant the leading truths constituting intelligence, and 'elders' the chief characteristics of wisdom, thus those of good.

[2] For the meaning of 'princes' as the leading truths constituting intelligence, see 1482, 2089, 5044. But as regards the meaning of 'elders' as the chief characteristics of wisdom, and of 'old people' as wisdom, this is evident from the following places: In David,

They will extol Jehovah in the congregation of the people, and in the assembly of the old they will praise Him. Psalms 107:32.

'The congregation of the people' stands for those who are ruled by truths constituting intelligence, since 'congregation' is used with reference to truths, 6355, as also is 'people', 1259, 1260, 2928, 3295, 3581; 'the assembly of the old' stands for those who are ruled by good, which belongs to wisdom since wisdom is concerned with life, thus with what is good, whereas intelligence is concerned with knowing, thus with what is true, 1555. In the same author,

I am wiser than the old, because I have kept Your commands. Psalms 119:100.

'The old' plainly stands for one who is wise. Likewise in Job,

In the old there is wisdom, in length of days intelligence. Job 12:12.

In Moses,

You shall rise before grey hair and respect the face of an old person. Leviticus 19:32.

This command was given because 'old people' represented wisdom.

[3] In John,

On the thrones I saw twenty-four elders seated, clad in white garments, who had on their heads crowns of gold. Revelation 4:4.

'Elders' stands for aspects of wisdom, thus of good. That these are meant by the elders is evident from the description of the elders - they sat on thrones, were clad in white garments, and had crowns of gold on their heads. 'Thrones' are truths constituting intelligence which are derived from good belonging to wisdom, 5313. 'White garments' has a similar meaning, 'garments' being truths, 1073, 4545, 4763, 5248, 5954, and 'white' that which has reference to truth, 3301, 5319. 'Crowns of gold on their heads' are forms of the good of wisdom; for 'gold' is the good of love, 113, 1551, 1552, 5658, and 'head' is the celestial, the seat of wisdom, 4938, 4939, 5328, 6436. Those who are in the third or inmost heaven, thus who are nearest the Lord, are called the wise, whereas those in the middle or second heaven, thus who are not as near the Lord, are called intelligent.

[4] In the same book,

All the angels stood around the throne, and the elders, and the four living creatures. Revelation 7:11.

Again 'the elders' stands for aspects of wisdom, as it does in the following places: In Isaiah,

The boy will uplift himself against the old man, and the despised against the honourable. Isaiah 7:5.

In the same prophet,

Jehovah Zebaoth will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before His elders, glory. Isaiah 24:23.

In Jeremiah,

My priests and my elders breathed their last in the city, for they sought food for themselves, with which they would renew their soul. Lamentations 1:19.

In the same prophet,

Her king and her princes are among the nations; the law is no more. The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground, they become silent. Lamentations 2:9-10.

In the same prophet,

They have ravished women in Zion, virgins in the cities of Judah. Princes have been hung up by their hands, the faces of the old men have not been honoured, the elders have ceased from the gate. Lamentations 5:11-12, 14.

In Ezekiel,

Misery will come upon misery, and rumour will be upon rumour. Therefore they will seek a vision from the prophet, but the law has perished from the priest, and counsel from the elders. The king will mourn, and the prince will be wrapped in stupidity. Ezekiel 7:26-27.

In Zechariah,

Old men and women will again dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and each one with his staff in his hand because of great age. 1 Zechariah 8:4.

So that 'the elders' might represent things that constitute wisdom, some of Moses' spirit was taken and imparted to them, by which they prophesied, Numbers 11:16 and following verses.

In the contrary sense 'elders' stands for the things that are the opposites of the aspects of wisdom, Ezekiel 8:11-12.
