تكوين 43

勉強

   

1 وكان الجوع شديدا في الارض.

2 وحدث لما فرغوا من اكل القمح الذي جاءوا به من مصر ان اباهم قال لهم ارجعوا اشتروا لنا قليلا من الطعام.

3 فكلمه يهوذا قائلا ان الرجل قد اشهد علينا قائلا لا ترون وجهي بدون ان يكون اخوكم معكم.

4 ان كنت ترسل اخانا معنا ننزل ونشتري لك طعاما.

5 ولكن ان كنت لا ترسله لا ننزل. لان الرجل قال لنا لا ترون وجهي بدون ان يكون اخوكم معكم

6 فقال اسرائيل لماذا اسأتم اليّ حتى اخبرتم الرجل ان لكم اخا ايضا.

7 فقالوا ان الرجل قد سأل عنا وعن عشيرتنا قائلا هل ابوكم حيّ بعد. هل لكم اخ. فاخبرناه بحسب هذا الكلام. هل كنا نعلم انه يقول انزلوا باخيكم

8 وقال يهوذا لاسرائيل ابيه ارسل الغلام معي لنقوم ونذهب ونحيا ولا نموت نحن وانت واولادنا جميعا.

9 انا اضمنه. من يدي تطلبه. ان لم اجئ به اليك واوقفه قدامك أصر مذنبا اليك كل الايام.

10 لاننا لو لم نتوان لكنا قد رجعنا الآن مرتين

11 فقال لهم اسرائيل ابوهم ان كان هكذا فافعوا هذا. خذوا من افخر جنى الارض في اوعيتكم وأنزلوا للرجل هدية. قليلا من البلسان وقليلا من العسل وكثيراء ولاذنا وفستقا ولوزا.

12 وخذوا فضة اخرى في اياديكم. والفضة المردودة في افواه عدالكم ردوها في اياديكم. لعله كان سهوا.

13 وخذوا اخاكم وقوموا ارجعوا الى الرجل.

14 والله القدير يعطيكم رحمة امام الرجل حتى يطلق لكم اخاكم الآخر وبنيامين. وانا اذا عدمت الاولاد عدمتهم

15 فاخذ الرجال هذه الهدية واخذوا ضعف الفضة في اياديهم وبنيامين وقاموا ونزلوا الى مصر ووقفوا امام يوسف.

16 فلما رأى يوسف بنيامين معهم قال للذي على بيته أدخل الرجال الى البيت واذبح ذبيحة وهيئ. لان الرجال ياكلون معي عند الظهر.

17 ففعل الرجل كما قال يوسف. وادخل الرجل الرجال الى بيت يوسف

18 فخاف الرجال اذ أدخلوا الى بيت يوسف. وقالوا لسبب الفضة التي رجعت اولا في عدالنا نحن قد ادخلنا ليهجم علينا ويقع بنا ويأخذنا عبيدا وحميرنا.

19 فتقدموا الى الرجل الذي على بيت يوسف وكلموه في باب البيت.

20 وقالوا استمع يا سيدي. اننا قد نزلنا اولا لنشتري طعاما.

21 وكان لما أتينا الى المنزل اننا فتحنا عدالنا واذا فضة كل واحد في فم عدله فضتنا بوزنها. فقد رددناها في ايادينا.

22 وانزلنا فضة اخرى في ايادينا لنشتري طعاما. لا نعلم من وضع فضتنا في عدالنا

23 فقال سلام لكم. لا تخافوا. الهكم واله ابيكم اعطاكم كنزا في عدالكم. فضتكم وصلت اليّ. ثم اخرج اليهم شمعون.

24 وادخل الرجل الرجال الى بيت يوسف واعطاهم ماء ليغسلوا ارجلهم واعطى عليقا لحميرهم.

25 وهيّأوا الهدية الى ان يجيء يوسف عند الظهر لانهم سمعوا انهم هناك ياكلون طعاما

26 فلما جاء يوسف الى البيت احضروا اليه الهدية التي في اياديهم الى البيت وسجدوا له الى الارض.

27 فسأل عن سلامتهم وقال أسالم ابوكم الشيخ الذي قلتم عنه. أحيّ هو بعد.

28 فقالوا عبدك ابونا سالم. هو حيّ بعد. وخروا وسجدوا

29 فرفع عينيه ونظر بنيامين اخاه ابن امه وقال أهذا اخوكم الصغير الذي قلتم لي عنه. ثم قال الله ينعم عليك يا ابني.

30 واستعجل يوسف لان احشاءه حنّت الى اخيه وطلب مكانا ليبكي. فدخل المخدع وبكى هناك

31 ثم غسل وجهه وخرج وتجلد. وقال قدموا طعاما.

32 فقدموا له وحده ولهم وحدهم وللمصريين الآكلين عنده وحدهم. لان المصريين لا يقدرون ان يأكلوا طعاما مع العبرانيين لانه رجس عند المصريين.

33 فجلسوا قدامه البكر بحسب بكوريته والصغير بحسب صغره. فبهت الرجال بعضهم الى بعض.

34 ورفع حصصا من قدامه اليهم. فكانت حصة بنيامين اكثر من حصص جميعهم خمسة اضعاف. وشربوا ورووا معه

4539. 'Rise up, go up to Bethel' means concerning the Divine Natural, that is to say, the perception concerning this. This is clear from the meaning of 'rising up' as implying some kind of raising up, dealt with in 2401, 2785, 2912, 2927, 3171, 4103, here a raising up of the Natural towards the Divine; from the meaning of 'going up' as doing so towards aspects even more interior, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'Bethel' as the Divine within the natural, that is, within the ultimate degree of order, dealt with in 4089. In the original language Bethel means the house of God, and since 'the house of God' is a place where the cognitions of good and truth exist, 'Bethel' accordingly means, in the proximate sense, those cognitions, as shown in 1453. But because interior degrees are enveloped by and terminate in the parts which constitute the ultimate degree of order where they come together and so to speak inhabit the same house, and because man's natural is the ultimate degree, enveloping interior ones, 'Bethel' or the house of God therefore means, strictly speaking, the Natural, 3729, 4089, and in particular the good there. For 'a house' in the internal sense means good, 2233, 2234, 3720, 3729. It is also within the natural or the ultimate degree of order that cognitions exist.

[2] The reason why 'going up' means a raising up towards more interior aspects is that things which are interior are spoken of as those that are higher, 2148, and therefore when the subject in the internal sense is an advance towards things that are more interior the expression 'going up' is used. Examples of this usage are, going up from Egypt to the land of Canaan; going up into the interior parts of the land of Canaan itself; going up from any part there to Jerusalem; and when in Jerusalem itself, going up to the house of God there. Going up from Egypt to the land of Canaan is referred to in Moses,

Pharaoh said to Joseph, Go up and bury your father. And Joseph went up. And there went up with him all Pharaoh's servants. And there went up with him chariot and horseman. Genesis 50:6-9.

And in the Book of Judges,

The angel of Jehovah went up from Gilgal to Bochim, and he said, I caused you to go up out of Egypt. Judges 2:1.

In the internal sense 'Egypt' means factual knowledge which helps people to have some conception of things belonging to the Lord's kingdom, while 'the land of Canaan' means the Lord's kingdom. And because facts are lower, or what amounts to the same, exterior, while things belonging to the Lord's kingdom are higher, or what amounts to the same, interior, the Word therefore speaks of 'going up' from Egypt to the land of Canaan, or - when travelling in the opposite direction - of 'going down' from the land of Canaan to Egypt, as in Genesis 42:2-3; 43:4-5, 15; and elsewhere.

[3] Going up into the interior parts of the land of Canaan itself is spoken of in Joshua,

Joshua said, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai, and they resumed to Joshua and said to him, Do not let all the people go up; let about 2000 men or about 3000 men go up. Therefore there went up of the people about 3000 men. Joshua 7:2-4.

Because 'the land of Canaan' means the Lord's kingdom, parts further in from its border regions meant things that are interior; hence the use in this quotation of the verb 'to go up'. The same is true of Jerusalem in relation to all the regions surrounding it, and of the house of God in relation to Jerusalem within which it stood, 1 Kings 12:27-28; 2 Kings 20:5, 8; Matthew 20:18; Mark 10:33; Luke 18:31; and in many other places besides these. For Jerusalem was the inmost part of the land because the Lord's spiritual kingdom was meant by it, and the house of God was the inmost part of Jerusalem because the Lord's celestial kingdom, and in the highest sense the Lord Himself were meant by it. This is why one speaks of 'going up' to these places. From all this one can see what is meant by 'rise up, go up to Bethel', namely that 'going up' means an advance towards things that are more interior, the subject dealt with in the present chapter, [see] 4536.

Joshua 8

勉強

   

1 Yahweh said to Joshua, "Don't be afraid, neither be dismayed. Take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. Behold, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, with his people, his city, and his land.

2 You shall do to Ai and her king as you did to Jericho and her king, except its spoil and its livestock, you shall take for a plunder for yourselves. Set an ambush for the city behind it."

3 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai. Joshua chose thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor, and sent them out by night.

4 He commanded them, saying, "Behold, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city. Don't go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.

5 I, and all the people who are with me, will approach to the city. It shall happen, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them.

6 They will come out after us, until we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, 'They flee before us, like the first time.' So we will flee before them,

7 and you shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city; for Yahweh your God will deliver it into your hand.

8 It shall be, when you have seized on the city, that you shall set the city on fire. You shall do this according to the word of Yahweh. Behold, I have commanded you."

9 Joshua sent them out; and they went to set up the ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua stayed among the people that night.

10 Joshua rose up early in the morning, mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.

11 All the people, even the men of war who were with him, went up, and drew near, and came before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai. Now there was a valley between him and Ai.

12 He took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

13 So they set the people, even all the army who was on the north of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

14 It happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hurried and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the Arabah; but he didn't know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

15 Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.

16 All the people who were in the city were called together to pursue after them. They pursued Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.

17 There was not a man left in Ai or Beth El who didn't go out after Israel. They left the city open, and pursued Israel.

18 Yahweh said to Joshua, "Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand." Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.

19 The ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and entered into the city, and took it. They hurried and set the city on fire.

20 When the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way. The people who fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.

21 When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and killed the men of Ai.

22 The others came out of the city against them, so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side. They struck them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.

23 They captured the king of Ai alive, and brought him to Joshua.

24 It happened, when Israel had made an end of killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they pursued them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai, and struck it with the edge of the sword.

25 All that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.

26 For Joshua didn't draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

27 Only the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel took for prey to themselves, according to the word of Yahweh which he commanded Joshua.

28 So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day.

29 He hanged the king of Ai on a tree until the evening, and at the sundown Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and threw it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised a great heap of stones on it that remains to this day.

30 Then Joshua built an altar to Yahweh, the God of Israel, in Mount Ebal,

31 as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, on which no man had lifted up any iron. They offered burnt offerings on it to Yahweh, and sacrificed peace offerings.

32 He wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.

33 All Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, who carried the ark of Yahweh's covenant, the foreigner as well as the native; half of them in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of Yahweh had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.

34 Afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.

35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua didn't read before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the foreigners who were among them.
