1 Poslije toga peharnik se i pekar egipatskog kralja ogriješe o svoga gospodara, kralja egipatskog.

2 Faraon se razljuti na svoja dva dvoranina, glavnog peharnika i glavnog pekara,

3 te ih stavi u zatvor, u zgradu zapovjednika tjelesne straže - u istu tamnicu gdje je i Josip bio zatvoren.

4 Zapovjednik tjelesne straže odredi Josipa da ih poslužuje. Pošto su proveli u zatvoru neko vrijeme,

5 obojica njih - peharnik i pekar egipatskog kralja, utamničenici - usnu san jedne te iste noći. Svaki je usnuo svoj san; i svaki je san imao svoje značenje.

6 Kad je Josip ujutro došao k njima, opazi da su neraspoloženi.

7 Upita faraonove dvorane koji su bili s njim u zatvoru u zgradi njegova gospodara: "Zašto ste danas tako potišteni?"

8 Odgovore mu: "Sne smo usnuli, ali nikog nema da nam ih protumači." Josip im reče: "Zar tumačenje ne spada na Boga? Dajte, pričajte mi!"

9 Onda je glavni peharnik ispripovjedio Josipu svoj san: "Sanjao sam da je preda mnom lozov trs.

10 Na trsu bile tri mladice. I tek što je propupao, procvjeta i na njegovim grozdovima sazru bobe.

11 Kako sam u ruci držao faraonov pehar, uzmem grožđa, istiještim ga u faraonov pehar, a onda stavim pehar u faraonovu ruku."

12 Josip mu reče: "Ovo ti je značenje: tri mladice tri su dana.

13 Poslije tri dana faraon će te pomilovati i vratiti na tvoje mjesto; opet ćeš stavljati pehar faraonu u ruku, kao i prije, dok si mu bio peharnik.

14 Kada ti bude opet dobro, sjeti se da sam i ja bio s tobom, pa mi učini ovu uslugu: spomeni me faraonu i pokušaj me izvesti iz ove kuće.

15 Jer, zbilja, bio sam silom odveden iz zemlje Hebreja; ni ovdje nisam ništa skrivio, a baciše me u tamnicu."

16 Kad je glavni pekar vidio kako je Josip dao dobro tumačenje, reče mu: "Usnuh da su mi na glavi tri bijele košare.

17 U najgornjoj bilo svakovrsna peciva što ga pekar pripravlja faraonu, ali su ptice jele iz košare povrh moje glave."

18 Josip odgovori: "Ovo je značenje: tri košare tri su dana.

19 Poslije tri dana faraon će uzdići tvoju glavu i o drvo te objesiti te će ptice jesti meso s tebe."

20 I zaista, trećega dana, kad je faraon priredio gozbu za sve svoje službenike - bio mu je rođendan - iz sredine svojih službenika izluči glavnog peharnika i glavnog pekara.

21 Vrati glavnog peharnika u peharničku službu te je i dalje stavljao pehar u faraonovu ruku,

22 a glavnog pekara objesi, kako je Josip protumačio.

23 Ipak se glavni peharnik nije sjetio Josipa - zaboravio je na nj.

Joseph

  

Joseph in his highest meaning represents the life of Jesus. He also represents the state of knowing truths and using them to do good. This is phrased in many of the attached references as the celestial of the spiritual, or the good of truth, which is the good that is done because we know truths that are our guides to life.

4998. Verses 10-15 And it happened as she spoke to Joseph day after day, that he did not listen to her, to lie with her, to be with her. And it happened on a certain day, that he went to the house to do his work, and none of the men 1 of the house was there in the house. And she took hold of him by his garment, saying, Lie with me. And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went out of doors. And it happened as she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled out of doors, that she cried out to the men of her house, and said to them - she said, See, he has brought us a Hebrew man to make sport of us. He came to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice. And it happened as he was hearing [me], that I lifted up my voice and cried out, and he left his garment with me, and fled, and went out of doors.

'And it happened' means a fourth state. 'As she spoke to Joseph day after day' means thought regarding that matter. 'That he did not listen to her, to lie with her' means that it was filled with aversion to such a joining together. 'To be with her' means lest it should thereby be made one with it. 'And it happened on a certain day' means a fifth state. 'That he went to the house to do his work' means when engaged in the work of being joined to spiritual good within the natural. 'And none of the men of the house was there in the house' means without the help of any other. 'And she laid hold of him by his garment' means that unspiritual truth attached itself to the outermost existence of spiritual truth. 'Saying, Lie with me' means to the end that a joining together might be effected. 'And he left his garment in her hand' means that this outermost truth was removed. 'And fled, and went out of doors' means that this being so it did not have that truth with which to protect itself. 'And it happened as she saw' means a perception regarding this matter. 'That he had left his garment in her hand and had fled out of doors' means regarding the separation of that outermost truth. 'That she cried out to the men of the house' means falsities. 'And said to them - she said' means an urgent demand. 'See, he has brought us a Hebrew man means something servile. 'To make sport of us' means that this rose up. 'He came to me to lie with me' means that that truth wanted to be joined to it. 'And I cried out with a loud voice' means that it was filled with aversion. 'And it happened as he was hearing [me]' means when it was discerned. 'That I lifted up my voice and cried out' means that there was a great aversion. 'And he left his garment with me' means evidence that an approach had been made. 'And fled, and went out of doors' means that it nevertheless separated itself.
