1 约瑟被带埃及去。有一个埃及人,是法老的内臣─护卫长波提乏,从那些带他来的以实玛利人买了他去。

2 约瑟住在他埃及的家中,耶和华与他同在,他就百事顺利。

3 人见耶和华与他同在,又见耶和华使他里所办的尽都顺利,

4 约瑟就在主人眼前蒙恩,伺候他主人,并且主人派他管理家务,把一切所有的都交在他里。

5 自从人派约瑟管理家务和他一切所有的,耶和华就因约瑟的缘故赐福与那埃及人的家;凡家里和田间一切所有的都蒙耶和华赐福。

6 波提乏将一切所有的都交在约瑟的中,除了自己所的饭,别的事一概不知。约瑟原来秀雅俊美。

7 这事以,约瑟人的妻以目送情给约瑟,:你与我同寝罢!

8 约瑟不从,对他人的妻:看哪,一切家务,我人都不知道;他把所有的都交在我里。

9 在这家里没有比我的;并且他没有留下一样不交给我,只留下了你,因为你是他的妻子。我怎能作这恶,得罪呢?

10 後来他和约瑟,约瑟却不从他,不与他同寝,也不和他在一处。

11 一天,约瑟进里去办事,家中没有一个在那里,

12 妇人就拉住他的衣裳,:你与我同寝罢!约瑟把衣裳丢在妇人里,跑到外边去了。

13 妇人见约瑟把衣裳丢在他里跑出去了,

14 了家里的,对他们:你们!他带了一个希伯进入我们家里,要戏弄我们。他到我这里,要与我同寝,我就声喊

15 见我放声喊起来,就把衣裳丢在我这里,跑到外边去了。

16 妇人把约瑟的衣裳放在自己那里,等着他人回家,

17 就对他如此如此:你所带到我们这里的那希伯仆人要戏弄我,

18 我放声喊起来,他就把衣裳丢在我这里,跑出去了。

19 约瑟的见他妻子对他所:你的仆人如此如此待我,他就生气,

20 把约瑟下在监里,就是王的囚犯被囚的地方。於是约瑟在那里坐监。

21 耶和华与约瑟同在,向他施恩,使他在司狱的眼前蒙恩。

22 司狱就把监里所有的囚犯都交在约瑟下;他们在那里所办的事都是经他的

23 凡在约瑟的事,司狱一概不察,因为耶和华与约瑟同在;耶和华使他所做的尽都顺利。

Arcana Coelestia #4992

4992. Behold, my lord knoweth not what is with me in the house. That this signifies that natural good did not desire even appropriation, is evident from the signification of his “lord,” as being natural good (see n. 4973); and from the signification of “not knowing what is with me in the house,” as being not to desire appropriation. That this is the meaning cannot be seen except from the series of things in the internal sense; for a third state is now treated of, in which the celestial of the spiritual was in the natural: in this state the good and truth natural which is spiritual, is separate from the good and truth natural which is not spiritual; and consequently by “not knowing what is in the house” is signified that there is no desire for appropriation. But these things, being arcana, cannot be made clear except by examples. Let the following example therefore serve for illustration. To be conjoined with one’s wife from lust alone, this is natural not spiritual; but to be conjoined with one’s wife from conjugial love, this is spiritual natural; and when the husband is afterward conjoined from lust alone, he believes that he transgresses, as one who does what is lascivious, and therefore he no longer desires that this should be appropriated to him. Let this also serve as an example. To benefit a friend, no matter what his quality, provided he is a friend is natural not spiritual; but to benefit a friend for the sake of the good that is in him, and still more to hold good itself as the friend which is to be benefited, this is spiritual natural; and when anyone is in this, he knows that he transgresses if he benefits a friend who is evil, for then through him he injures others. When he is in this state, he holds in aversion the appropriation of good natural not spiritual, in which good he was before. And so it is with everything else.
