1 Og Josef bøide sig ned over sin fars ansikt og gråt over ham og kysset ham.

2 Og Josef bød lægene som han hadde i sin tjeneste, å balsamere hans far; og lægene balsamerte Israel.

3 Firti dager gikk med hertil, for så mange dager går med til balsameringen; og egypterne gråt over ham i sytti dager.

4 Da sørgedagene over ham var til ende, talte Josef til Faraos husfolk og sa: Dersom jeg har funnet nåde for eders øine, så tal for mig til Farao og si:

5 Min far tok en ed av mig og sa: Jeg dør; i min grav som jeg lot grave for mig i Kana'ans land, der skal du begrave mig. La mig derfor få dra op og begrave min far og så vende tilbake!

6 Og Farao sa: Dra op og begrav din far, således som du tilsvor ham.

7 Så drog Josef op for å begrave sin far; og alle Faraos tjenere, de eldste i hans hus, og alle de eldste i Egyptens land drog op med ham,

8 og hele Josefs hus og hans brødre og hans fars hus; bare sine små barn og sitt småfe og storfe lot de bli tilbake i landet Gosen.

9 Og både vogner og hestfolk drog op med ham, så det blev et meget stort tog.

10 Da de kom til Goren-Ha'atad på hin side Jordan, holdt de der en stor og høitidelig sørgefest, og han gjorde likferd efter sin far i syv dager.

11 Og da landets innbyggere, kana'anittene, så likferden i Goren-Ha'atad, sa de: Det er en prektig likferd egypterne holder der. Derfor kalte de stedet Abel Misra'im*; det ligger på hin side Jordan. / {* egypternes sørgemark.}

12 Og hans sønner gjorde med ham således som han hadde pålagt dem;

13 hans sønner førte ham til Kana'ans land og begravde ham i hulen på Makpela-marken, den mark som Abraham hadde kjøpt av hetitten Efron til eiendoms-gravsted, østenfor Mamre.

14 Og da Josef hadde begravet sin far, vendte han tilbake til Egypten, både han og hans brødre og alle de som hadde draget op med ham for å begrave hans far.

15 Da Josefs brødre så at deres far var død, sa de: Bare nu ikke Josef vil hate oss og gjengjelde oss alt det onde vi gjorde mot ham!

16 Så sendte de bud til Josef og lot si: Din far gav oss før sin død dette pålegg:

17 Så skal I si til Josef: Tilgi, kjære, dine brødres misgjerning og deres synd, at de har gjort ille mot dig! Så tilgi nu oss, som også tjener din fars Gud, vår misgjerning! Og Josef gråt da de talte således til ham.

18 Siden kom også hans brødre selv og falt ned for ham og sa: Se, vi vil være dine tjenere.

19 Da sa Josef til dem: Vær ikke redde; er vel jeg i Guds sted?

20 I tenkte ondt mot mig; men Gud tenkte det til det gode for å gjøre det han nu har gjort, og holde meget folk i live.

21 Så vær da ikke redde, jeg vil sørge for eder og eders barn. Og han trøstet dem og talte vennlig til dem.

22 Josef blev boende i Egypten, både han og hans fars hus; og Josef blev hundre og ti år gammel.

23 Og Josef fikk se Efra'ims barn i tredje ledd; også barna til Makir, Manasses sønn, blev fødtJosefs knær*. / {* d.e. født mens han ennu levde, så han kunde ta dem på sine knær.}

24 Og Josef sa til sine brødre: Jeg dør, men Gud skal visselig se til eder og føre eder op fra dette land til det land han har tilsvoret Abraham, Isak og Jakob.

25 Og Josef tok en ed av Israels sønner og sa: Gud skal visselig se til eder, og da skal I føre mine ben op herfra.

26 Og Josef døde, hundre og ti år gammel; og de balsamerte ham og la ham i kiste i Egypten.

6546. And his sons carried him into the land of Canaan. That this signifies that the church was transferred thither, is evident from the signification of “they carried,” as being to be transferred, that is, the church, for this is signified by the “land of Canaan” (see n. 1413, 1437, 1607, 1866, 3038, 3481, 3705). (Why the church was transferred thither may be seen above, n. 6516)

1607. For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it. That this signifies the heavenly kingdom, that it should be the Lord’s, is evident from the signification of “the land,” and here of the land of Canaan—because it is said, “the land which thou seest”—as being the heavenly kingdom. For by the land of Canaan was represented the Lord’s kingdom in the heavens, that is heaven, and the Lord’s kingdom on earth, or the church; which signification of “land” or “earth” has been several times treated of before. That the kingdom in the heavens and on earth has been given to the Lord, is evident from various passages of the Word. As in Isaiah:

Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, God, Hero, Father of eternity, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).

In Daniel:

I saw in the night visions, and behold one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven; and He came even to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom; and all peoples, nations, and languages shall serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed (Dan 7:13-14). The Lord Himself also says the same in Matthew:

All things are delivered unto Me of My Father (Matthew 11:27)

also in Luke (10:22). And again in Matthew:

All power [potestas] has been given unto Me in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18).

In John:

Thou gavest to the Son power [potestas] over all flesh, that whatsoever Thou hast given Him, to them He should give eternal life (17:2, 3 (John 17:2-3). 17:2, 3).

The same is also signified by His “sitting at the right hand,” as in Luke:

Now from henceforth shall the Son of man sit at the right hand of the power of God (Luke 22:69).

[2] As regards all power being given unto the Son of man in the heavens and on earth, it is to be known that the Lord had power over all things in the heavens and on earth before He came into the world; for He was God from eternity and Jehovah, as He plainly says in John:

Now, O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine own self, with the glow which I had with Thee before the world was (John 17:5);

and again:

Verily, verily, I say unto you, before Abraham was, I am 1 (John 8:58);

for He was Jehovah and God to the Most Ancient Church that was before the flood, and was seen by them. He was also Jehovah and God to the Ancient Church that was after the flood. And it was He who was represented by all the rites of the Jewish Church, and whom they worshiped. But the reason He says that all power was given unto Him in heaven and on earth, as if it were then His for the first time, is that by “the Son of man” is meant His Human Essence; and this, when united to His Divine Essence, was also Jehovah, and at the same time had power; and this could not be the case until He had been glorified, that is, until by unition with the Divine Essence His Human Essence also had life in itself, and so became in like manner Divine and Jehovah; as He says in John:

As the Father hath life in Himself, so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself (John 5:26).

[3] It is His Human Essence, or external man, that is likewise called “Son of man” in Daniel, in the passage quoted above; and of which it is said in the passage quoted from Isaiah, “A Child is born and a Son is given to us.” That the heavenly kingdom should be given to Him, and all power in the heavens and on earth, He now saw, and it was now promised Him; and this is signified by the words, “all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed after thee forever.” This was before His Human Essence had been united to His Divine Essence, which was united when He had overcome the devil and hell, that is, when by His own power and His own might He had expelled all evil, which alone disunites.
