1 และต่อมาภายหลังเหตุการณ์เหล่านี้มีคนเรียนโยเซฟว่า "ดูเถิด บิดาของท่านป่วย" โยเซฟก็พามนัสเสห์และเอฟราอิมบุตรชายทั้งสองของตนไป

2 มีคนบอกยาโคบว่า "ดูเถิด โยเซฟบุตรชายมาหาท่าน" อิสราเอลก็รวบรวมกำลังลุกขึ้นนั่งบนที่นอน

3 ยาโคบจึงพูดกับโยเซฟว่า "พระเจ้าผู้ทรงมหิทธิฤทธิ์ได้สำแดงพระองค์แก่พ่อที่ตำบลลูสในแผ่นดินคานาอัน และทรงอวยพรพรแก่พ่อ

4 และตรัสแก่พ่อว่า `ดูเถิด เราจะให้เจ้ามีลูกดกทวียิ่งขึ้นและเราจะทำให้เจ้าเป็นชนชาติใหญ่ และจะยกแผ่นดินนี้ให้แก่เชื้อสายของเจ้าที่มาภายหลังเจ้าเป็นกรรมสิทธิ์เป็นนิตย์'

5 ส่วนบุตรชายทั้งสองของเจ้าที่เกิดแก่เจ้าในประเทศอียิปต์ก่อนพ่อมาหาเจ้าในอียิปต์ก็เป็นบุตรของพ่อ เอฟราอิมและมนัสเสห์จะต้องเป็นของพ่อ เหมือนรูเบนและสิเมโอน

6 ส่วนบุตรของเจ้า ที่เกิดมาภายหลังเขาจะนับเป็นบุตรของเจ้า เขาจะได้ชื่อตามพี่ชายในการรับมรดกของเขา

7 และสำหรับพ่อเมื่อพ่อจากปัดดานมา นางราเชลซึ่งอยู่กับพ่อก็ได้สิ้นชีวิตในแผ่นดินคานาอันขณะอยู่ตามทางยังห่างจากเอฟราธาห์ แล้วพ่อได้ฝังศพเธอไว้ริมทางไปเอฟราธาห์คือเบธเลเฮม"

8 อิสราเอลเห็นบุตรชายทั้งสองของโยเซฟจึงถามว่า "นี่ใคร"

9 โยเซฟตอบบิดาของตนว่า "นี่เป็นบุตรชายของลูกที่พระเจ้าประทานแก่ลูกในแผ่นดินนี้" อิสราเอลจึงว่า "ขอเจ้าพาบุตรทั้งสองเข้ามาเพื่อพ่อจะได้ให้พรแก่เขา"

10 คราวนั้นตาของอิสราเอลมืดมัวไปเพราะชรา มองอะไรไม่เห็น โยเซฟพาบุตรเข้ามาใกล้บิดา บิดาก็จุบกอดเขา

11 อิสราเอลบอกโยเซฟว่า "แต่ก่อนพ่อคิดว่าจะไม่ได้เห็นหน้าเจ้า แต่ดูเถิด พระเจ้าทรงโปรดให้พ่อเห็นทั้งเชื้อสายของเจ้าด้วย"

12 โยเซฟเอาบุตรออกมาจากระหว่างเข่าของท่าน แล้วกราบลงถึงดิน

13 โยเซฟจูงบุตรทั้งสองเข้าไปใกล้บิดา มือขวาจับเอฟราอิมให้อยู่ข้างซ้ายอิสราเอล และมือซ้ายจับมนัสเสห์ให้อยู่ข้างขวาอิสราเอล

14 ฝ่ายอิสราเอลก็เหยียดมือขวาออกวางบนศีรษะเอฟราอิมผู้เป็นน้อง และมือซ้ายวางไว้บนศีรษะมนัสเสห์ โดยตั้งใจเหยียดมือออกเช่นนั้น เพราะมนัสเสห์เป็นบุตรหัวปี

15 แล้วอิสราเอลกล่าวคำอวยพรแก่โยเซฟว่า "ขอพระเจ้าที่อับราฮัมและอิสอัคบิดาข้าพเจ้าดำเนินอยู่เฉพาะพระพักตร์นั้น ขอพระเจ้าผู้ทรงบำรุงเลี้ยงชีวิตข้าพเจ้าตั้งแต่เกิดมาจนวันนี้

16 ขอทูตสวรรค์ที่ได้ช่วยข้าพเจ้าให้พ้นจากความชั่วร้ายทั้งสิ้น โปรดอวยพรแก่เด็กหนุ่มทั้งสองนี้ ให้เขาสืบชื่อของข้าพเจ้าและชื่อของอับราฮัมและชื่อของอิสอัคบิดาของข้าพเจ้าไว้และขอให้เขาเจริญขึ้นเป็นมวลชนบนแผ่นดินเถิด"

17 ฝ่ายโยเซฟเมื่อเห็นบิดาวางมือข้างขวาบนศีรษะของเอฟราอิมก็ไม่พอใจ จึงจับมือบิดาจะยกจากศีรษะเอฟราอิมวางบนศีรษะมนัสเสห์

18 โยเซฟพูดกับบิดาของตนว่า "ไม่ถูก บิดาของข้าพเจ้า เพราะคนนี้เป็นหัวปี ขอท่านวางมือขวาบนศีรษะคนนี้เถิด"

19 บิดาก็ไม่ยอมจึงตอบว่า "พ่อรู้แล้ว ลูกเอ๋ย พ่อรู้แล้ว เขาจะเป็นคนตระกูลหนึ่งด้วย และเขาจะใหญ่โตด้วย แต่แท้จริงน้องชายจะใหญ่โตกว่าพี่ และเชื้อสายของน้องนั้นจะเป็นคนหลายประชาชาติด้วยกัน"

20 วันนั้นอิสราเอลก็ให้พรแก่ทั้งสองคนว่า "พวกอิสราเอลจะใช้ชื่อเจ้าให้พรว่า `ขอพระเจ้าทรงโปรดให้ท่านเป็นเหมือนเอฟราอิมและเหมือนมนัสเสห์เถิด'" อิสราเอลจึงให้เอฟราอิมเป็นใหญ่กว่ามนัสเสห์

21 อิสราเอลบอกโยเซฟว่า "ดูเถิด พ่อจะตายแล้ว แต่พระเจ้าจะทรงสถิตอยู่กับพวกเจ้าและจะพาพวกเจ้ากลับไปสู่แผ่นดินของบรรพบุรุษของเจ้า

22 ยิ่งกว่านั้นอีก พ่อจะยกส่วนหนึ่งที่พ่อตีได้จากมือคนอาโมไรต์ด้วยดาบและธนูของพ่อนั้นให้แก่เจ้าแทนที่จะให้พี่น้องของเจ้า"

9594. And thou shalt make the Habitation. That this signifies the second or middle heaven, is evident from the signification of “the Habitation,” when said of the Divine, as being heaven, in particular the middle or second heaven. It is known that there are three heavens: the inmost, the middle, and the ultimate; or the third, the second, and the first. All these heavens were represented by the tabernacle: by the ark, where the Testimony was, the inmost or third heaven; by the Habitation, where were the table for the breads of faces and the lampstand, the middle or second heaven; and by the court, the ultimate or first heaven. That there are three heavens is because there are three degrees of life in man (for the man who becomes an angel after death constitutes heaven; from no other source are the angels, from no other is heaven). The inmost degree of the man’s life is for the inmost heaven; the middle degree of his life is for the middle heaven; and the ultimate degree is for the ultimate heaven. Man being such, or so formed, and heaven being from the human race, there are therefore three heavens.

[2] These three degrees of life in man are opened successively; the first degree by a life in accordance with what is equitable and just; the second degree by a life in accordance with the truths of faith from the Word, and in accordance with the consequent goods of charity toward the neighbor; and the third degree by a life in accordance with the good of mutual love and the good of love to the Lord. These are the means whereby are successively opened these three degrees of life in man, thus the three heavens in him. But be it known that in proportion as a man recedes from the good of life, and accedes to the evil of life, these degrees are closed, that is, the heavens are closed in him; for just as the good of life opens them, so the evil of life closes them. It is from this that all who are in evil are outside of heaven, thus are in hell. And because, as before said, the heavens are successively opened in a man according to the good of his life, be it known that for this reason in some the first heaven is opened and not the second; and in some the second heaven is opened and not the third; and that the third heaven is opened in those only who are in the good of life from love to the Lord. (That a man is heaven in the least form, and that he was created after the image both of heaven and of the world, may be seen in the passages cited in n. 9279).

[3] Therefore it is the inmost heaven which is represented by the ark of the Testimony, treated of in the preceding chapter; it is the middle heaven which is represented by the Habitation, treated of in this chapter; and it is the ultimate heaven which is represented by the court, treated of in the following chapter. Heaven is called “the Habitation of God” from the fact that the Divine of the Lord dwells there; for it is the Divine truth proceeding from the Lord’s Divine good that makes heaven, for this gives the life of an angel who is there. And because the Lord dwells with the angels in that which is from Himself (n. 9338), therefore heaven is called “the Habitation of God,” and the Divine truths themselves from the Divine good, of which the angels or the angelic societies are the receptions, are called His “Habitations; as in David:

O send out Thy light and Thy truth; let these lead me; let them lead me unto the mountain of holiness, and to Thy habitations; that I may go in unto the altar of God, unto God (Psalms 43:3-4

There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holiness of the habitations of the Most High (Psalms 46:4).

They have profaned the habitation of Thy name to the earth (Psalms 74:7).

How lovely are Thy habitations, O Jehovah (Psalms 84:1).

[4] That the Divine things which proceed from the Lord’s Divine Human are what are in particular called His “Habitations,” and that from this, heaven itself is called His “Habitation” is also evident in David:

He swore to Jehovah, he vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob, I will not give sleep to mine eyes until I have found out a place for Jehovah, habitations for the Mighty One of Jacob. Lo, we heard of Him in Ephrathah, we found Him in the fields of the forest; we will go into His Habitations (Psalms 132:2, 4-7).

“The Mighty One of Jacob” denotes the Lord as to the Divine Human (n. 6425); “Ephrathah,” where He was to be found, is Bethlehem, where He was born (Genesis 35:19; 48:7; Micah 5:2; Matthew 2:4-6); “the fields of the forest” denote the goods of the church among the Gentiles.

[5] In Ezekiel:

They shall dwell upon the land that I have given to Jacob My servant; they shall dwell upon it, they and their sons’ sons forever; and David My servant shall be prince to them forever. I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them, and I will set My sanctuary in the midst of them forever. So shall My habitation be with them (Ezekiel 37:25-27).

“David,” who was to be “prince to them” denotes the the Lord, (n. 1888); “the sanctuary” denotes the Lord’s Divine Human, because from Him is all that is holy (n. 3210, 9229); thus His “Habitation” denotes heaven and the church where the Lord is.

[6] In Jeremiah:

Thus said Jehovah, Behold I bring back the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his habitations, that the city shall be built upon its heap (Jeremiah 30:18).

“To bring back the captivity of Jacob’s tents” denotes to restore the goods and truths of the external church which had been destroyed; “having compassion on his habitations” denotes to restore the truths of the internal church; “the city which shall be built upon its heap” denotes the doctrine of truth (n. 2449, 2943, 3216, 4492, 4493).

[7] In what way the Lord dwells in the heavens, can be seen from what has been shown already concerning the Lord; namely, that the Lord as to the Divine Human is the Sun from which are the heat and light in the heavens. The heat from the Lord as the Sun is love, and the light is faith. From this the Lord dwells with those who receive from Him the good of love and the truth of faith, thus the heat and light of life. His presence is according to the degrees of the reception.

3488. That the second state of the perversion of the church was described by the foregoing words of the Lord in the evangelist, is evident from their internal sense, which is as follows:

All these things are the beginning of sorrows;

signifies those things which precede-that is, which are of the first state of the perversion of the church-which as before said is that they would begin no longer to know what is good and what is true, but would dispute about it among themselves, from which would arise falsities, and therefore heresies. That such things perverted the church before many centuries had elapsed, is evident from the fact that the church in the Christian world was divided, and this according to opinions concerning good and truth; thus that the perversion of the church commenced long ago.

[2] Then shall they deliver you into tribulation, and shall kill you;

signifies that good and truth would perish, first by “tribulation,” that is, by perversion; afterwards by their “killing” them, that is, by denial. (That to “kill,” when predicated of good and truth, is not to receive, thus is to deny, may be seen above, n. 3387, 3395.) By “you,” that is, by the apostles, are signified all things of faith in one complex, thus its good as well as its truth. That these things are signified by the twelve apostles may be seen above (n. 577, 2089, 2129, 2130, 3272, 3354) and here the same is clearly evident; for it is not the preaching of the apostles that is treated of, but the consummation of the age.

[3] And ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake;

signifies contempt and aversion for all things which are of good and truth; “to hate” is to despise and hold in aversion, for this is of hatred; “of all nations” signifies by those who are in evil (that such are meant by “nations” may be seen above, n. 1259, 1260, 1849, 1868, 2588); “for My name’s sake” is on account of the Lord, thus on account of all things which are from Him (that the Lord’s “name” is everything in one complex by which He is worshiped, thus everything which is of His church, may be seen above (2724), n (3006). 2724, 3006).

[4] And then shall many be offended, and shall deliver up one another, and shall hate one another;

signifies enmities on account of these things; “many shall be offended” denotes enmity in itself; the Human itself of the Lord is that against which there is enmity; that this would be an offense and a stumbling-block is here and there predicted in the Word; “they shall deliver up one another” denotes enmity among themselves from falsity against truth; “and shall hate one another” denotes enmity among themselves from evil against good.

[5] And many false prophets shall arise, and shall lead many astray;

signifies preachings of falsity (that “false prophets” are those who teach falsities, thus false doctrine, may be seen above, n. 2534) “and shall lead many astray” denotes that there should be derivations therefrom.

[6] And because iniquity shall be multiplied, the charity of many shall wax cold;

signifies the expiring of charity together with faith; “because iniquity shall be multiplied” denotes according to the falsities of faith; “the charity of many shall wax cold” denotes the expiring of charity, for they keep pace together; where faith is not, there charity is not, and where charity is not, faith is not; but charity is that which receives faith, and no charity is that which rejects faith: this is the origin of every falsity and every evil.

[7] But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved;

signifies the salvation of those who are in charity; “he that endureth to the end” is he who does not suffer himself to be led astray, thus who does not succumb in temptations.

[8] And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole inhabited earth, for a testimony unto all nations;

signifies that this should first become known in the Christian world; “shall be preached” denotes that it should be made known; “this gospel of the kingdom” is this truth that it is so; “gospel” denotes the annunciation; “kingdom” denotes truth (that “kingdom” denotes truth may be seen above, n. 1672, 2547); “in the whole inhabited earth” denotes the Christian world (that “earth” is the region where the church is, thus the Christian world, may be seen above, n. 662, 1066, 1067, 1262, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 2928, 3355). The church here is called “inhabited” from the life of faith, that is, from the good which is of truth; for in the internal sense “to inhabit” denotes to live; and the “inhabitants” are the goods of truth (n. 1293, 2268, 2451, 2712, 3384); “for a testimony” denotes that they may know, and not make a pretext that they have been ignorant; “to all nations” denotes to evils (n. 1259, 1260, 1849, 1868, 2588); for when they are in falsity and evil, they no longer know what is true and what is good; they then believe falsity to be truth, and evil to be good, and the reverse; and when the church is in this state, “then shall the end come.” In what now follows and what of the Lord’s Divine mercy will be unfolded prefatory to the next chapter of Genesis, that state of the church is treated of which is called the “abomination of desolation,” which is the third state.
