1 ἐγένετο δὲ μετὰ τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα καὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ ιωσηφ ὅτι ὁ πατήρ σου ἐνοχλεῖται καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ τὸν μανασση καὶ τὸν εφραιμ ἦλθεν πρὸς ιακωβ

2 ἀπηγγέλη δὲ τῷ ιακωβ λέγοντες ἰδοὺ ὁ υἱός σου ιωσηφ ἔρχεται πρὸς σέ καὶ ἐνισχύσας ισραηλ ἐκάθισεν ἐπὶ τὴν κλίνην

3 καὶ εἶπεν ιακωβ τῷ ιωσηφ ὁ θεός μου ὤφθη μοι ἐν λουζα ἐν γῇ χανααν καὶ εὐλόγησέν με

4 καὶ εἶπέν μοι ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ αὐξανῶ σε καὶ πληθυνῶ σε καὶ ποιήσω σε εἰς συναγωγὰς ἐθνῶν καὶ δώσω σοι τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου μετὰ σὲ εἰς κατάσχεσιν αἰώνιον

5 νῦν οὖν οἱ δύο υἱοί σου οἱ γενόμενοί σοι ἐν αἰγύπτῳ πρὸ τοῦ με ἐλθεῖν πρὸς σὲ εἰς αἴγυπτον ἐμοί εἰσιν εφραιμ καὶ μανασση ὡς ρουβην καὶ συμεων ἔσονταί μοι

6 τὰ δὲ ἔκγονα ἃ ἐὰν γεννήσῃς μετὰ ταῦτα σοὶ ἔσονται ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματι τῶν ἀδελφῶν αὐτῶν κληθήσονται ἐν τοῖς ἐκείνων κλήροις

7 ἐγὼ δὲ ἡνίκα ἠρχόμην ἐκ μεσοποταμίας τῆς συρίας ἀπέθανεν ραχηλ ἡ μήτηρ σου ἐν γῇ χανααν ἐγγίζοντός μου κατὰ τὸν ἱππόδρομον χαβραθα τῆς γῆς τοῦ ἐλθεῖν εφραθα καὶ κατώρυξα αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τοῦ ἱπποδρόμου αὕτη ἐστὶν βαιθλεεμ

8 ἰδὼν δὲ ισραηλ τοὺς υἱοὺς ιωσηφ εἶπεν τίνες σοι οὗτοι

9 εἶπεν δὲ ιωσηφ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ υἱοί μού εἰσιν οὓς ἔδωκέν μοι ὁ θεὸς ἐνταῦθα καὶ εἶπεν ιακωβ προσάγαγέ μοι αὐτούς ἵνα εὐλογήσω αὐτούς

10 οἱ δὲ ὀφθαλμοὶ ισραηλ ἐβαρυώπησαν ἀπὸ τοῦ γήρους καὶ οὐκ ἠδύνατο βλέπειν καὶ ἤγγισεν αὐτοὺς πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ ἐφίλησεν αὐτοὺς καὶ περιέλαβεν αὐτούς

11 καὶ εἶπεν ισραηλ πρὸς ιωσηφ ἰδοὺ τοῦ προσώπου σου οὐκ ἐστερήθην καὶ ἰδοὺ ἔδειξέν μοι ὁ θεὸς καὶ τὸ σπέρμα σου

12 καὶ ἐξήγαγεν ιωσηφ αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῶν γονάτων αὐτοῦ καὶ προσεκύνησαν αὐτῷ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

13 λαβὼν δὲ ιωσηφ τοὺς δύο υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ τόν τε εφραιμ ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν δὲ ισραηλ τὸν δὲ μανασση ἐν τῇ ἀριστερᾷ ἐκ δεξιῶν δὲ ισραηλ ἤγγισεν αὐτοὺς αὐτῷ

14 ἐκτείνας δὲ ισραηλ τὴν χεῖρα τὴν δεξιὰν ἐπέβαλεν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν εφραιμ οὗτος δὲ ἦν ὁ νεώτερος καὶ τὴν ἀριστερὰν ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν μανασση ἐναλλὰξ τὰς χεῖρας

15 καὶ ηὐλόγησεν αὐτοὺς καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεός ᾧ εὐηρέστησαν οἱ πατέρες μου ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ αβρααμ καὶ ισαακ ὁ θεὸς ὁ τρέφων με ἐκ νεότητος ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης

16 ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ ῥυόμενός με ἐκ πάντων τῶν κακῶν εὐλογήσαι τὰ παιδία ταῦτα καὶ ἐπικληθήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς τὸ ὄνομά μου καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τῶν πατέρων μου αβρααμ καὶ ισαακ καὶ πληθυνθείησαν εἰς πλῆθος πολὺ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

17 ἰδὼν δὲ ιωσηφ ὅτι ἐπέβαλεν ὁ πατὴρ τὴν δεξιὰν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν εφραιμ βαρὺ αὐτῷ κατεφάνη καὶ ἀντελάβετο ιωσηφ τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ ἀφελεῖν αὐτὴν ἀπὸ τῆς κεφαλῆς εφραιμ ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν μανασση

18 εἶπεν δὲ ιωσηφ τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ οὐχ οὕτως πάτερ οὗτος γὰρ ὁ πρωτότοκος ἐπίθες τὴν δεξιάν σου ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ

19 καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ἀλλὰ εἶπεν οἶδα τέκνον οἶδα καὶ οὗτος ἔσται εἰς λαόν καὶ οὗτος ὑψωθήσεται ἀλλὰ ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ ὁ νεώτερος μείζων αὐτοῦ ἔσται καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτοῦ ἔσται εἰς πλῆθος ἐθνῶν

20 καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ λέγων ἐν ὑμῖν εὐλογηθήσεται ισραηλ λέγοντες ποιήσαι σε ὁ θεὸς ὡς εφραιμ καὶ ὡς μανασση καὶ ἔθηκεν τὸν εφραιμ ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ μανασση

21 εἶπεν δὲ ισραηλ τῷ ιωσηφ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποθνῄσκω καὶ ἔσται ὁ θεὸς μεθ' ὑμῶν καὶ ἀποστρέψει ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν γῆν τῶν πατέρων ὑμῶν

22 ἐγὼ δὲ δίδωμί σοι σικιμα ἐξαίρετον ὑπὲρ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου ἣν ἔλαβον ἐκ χειρὸς αμορραίων ἐν μαχαίρᾳ μου καὶ τόξῳ

Erforschung der Bedeutung von Genesis 48

Durch New Christian Bible Study Staff, Helen Kennedy (maschinell übersetzt in Deutsch)

Hier sind einige Auszüge aus Swedenborgs "Arcana Coelestia", die helfen, die innere Bedeutung dieses Kapitels zu erklären:

Himmlischen Geheimnissen 6216. In diesem Kapitel geht es im inneren Sinn um den Verstand der Kirche, der aus der Wahrheit kommt, und um ihren Willen, der aus dem Guten kommt. Der Verstand der Kirche ist "Ephraim", und der Wille der Kirche ist "Manasse".

Himmlischen Geheimnissen 6217. Daß in der Kirche die Wahrheit des Glaubens, die dem Intellekt entspringt, an erster Stelle steht und das Gute der Liebe, das dem Willen entspringt, an zweiter Stelle, wird dadurch ausgedrückt, daß Israel seine rechte Hand auf das Haupt Ephraims und seine linke auf das Haupt Manasses legt.

6063. 'And Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said' means the presence of the internal celestial within the natural where factual knowledge resides, and the consequent influx and perception. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming to someone' as presence, as in 5934; from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal celestial, dealt with in 5869, 5877; from the meaning of 'telling as an influx, dealt with in 5966; from the representation of 'Pharaoh' as the natural and therefore factual knowledge in general, dealt with in 5799, 6015; and from the meaning of 'saying' in historical narratives of the Word as perception, dealt with in 1791, 1815, 1819, 1822, 1898, 1919, 2080, 2619, 2862, 3509, 5687. From all this it is evident that 'Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said' means the presence of the internal celestial within the natural where factual knowledge resides, and the consequent influx and perception.

[2] Reference has been made many times before this to the flowing of the internal into the natural or external, and to perception in the natural. It has been shown that the natural is kept in being and receives its life from an influx from the internal, that is, from the Lord through the internal. For without the influx from that source the natural does not have any life, since it exists on the natural level of creation and derives all that it is from there, and the natural level of creation is totally devoid of life. This being so, if a person's natural is to have life there must be an influx from the Lord. It must come not only directly from Him but also indirectly through the spiritual world, consequently into a person's internal, since this exists in the spiritual world, and from there into the natural so that it may have life. The human natural has been formed so that it may receive life thereby. This then is what is meant by a flowing of the internal celestial into the natural where factual knowledge resides. As a result of this influx from the internal, perception takes place in the external or natural, which 'Pharaoh' represents; for influx and perception answer to each other, 5743.
