1 Και εξηλθε Δεινα η θυγατηρ της Λειας, την οποιαν εγεννησεν εις τον Ιακωβ, δια να ιδη τας θυγατερας του τοπου.

2 Και ιδων αυτην Συχεμ, ο υιος του Εμμωρ του Ευαιου, αρχοντος του τοπου, ελαβεν αυτην, και εκοιμηθη μετ' αυτης και εταπεινωσεν αυτην.

3 Και η ψυχη αυτου προσεκολληθη εις την Δειναν, την θυγατερα του Ιακωβ· και ηγαπησε την κορην και ελαλησε κατα την καρδιαν της κορης.

4 Και ειπεν ο Συχεμ προς Εμμωρ τον πατερα αυτου, λεγων, Λαβε μοι την κορην ταυτην εις γυναικα.

5 Και ηκουσεν ο Ιακωβ, οτι εμιανε την Δειναν την θυγατερα αυτου· οι δε υιοι αυτου ησαν μετα των κτηνων αυτου εν τω αγρω· και παρεσιωπησεν ο Ιακωβ εωσου ελθωσιν.

6 Εμμωρ δε, ο πατηρ του Συχεμ, εξηλθε προς τον Ιακωβ, δια να ομιληση μετ' αυτου.

7 Και ηλθον οι υιοι του Ιακωβ εκ του αγρου, καθως ηκουσαν τουτο· και ηγανακτησαν οι ανδρες και εθυμωθησαν σφοδρα, οτι επραξεν αισχρα εις τον Ισραηλ, κοιμηθεις μετα της θυγατρος του Ιακωβ· το οποιον δεν επρεπε να γεινη.

8 Και ελαλησε προς αυτους ο Εμμωρ, λεγων, Η ψυχη του Συχεμ του υιου μου προσηλωθη εις την θυγατερα σας· δοτε αυτην εις αυτον, παρακαλω, εις γυναικα·

9 και συμπενθερευσατε μεθ' ημων· τας θυγατερας σας δοτε εις ημας, και τας θυγατερας ημων λαβετε εις εαυτους·

10 και κατοικησατε μεθ' ημων· ιδου, η γη ειναι εμπροσθεν σας· κατοικειτε και εμπορευεσθε επ' αυτης και καμετε κτηματα εν αυτη.

11 Ειπε δε ο Συχεμ προς τον πατερα αυτης και προς τους αδελφους αυτης, Ας ευρω χαριν εμπροσθεν σας· και ο, τι ειπητε εις εμε θελω δωσει·

12 ζητησατε παρ' εμου οσην προικα θελετε, και οσα χαρισματα, και θελω δωσει αυτα, καθως ηθελετε μοι ειπει· μονον δοτε μοι την κορην εις γυναικα.

13 Απεκριθησαν δε οι υιοι του Ιακωβ προς τον Συχεμ και προς τον Εμμωρ τον πατερα αυτου, μετα δολου· και ελαλησαν επειδη αυτος ειχε μιανει την Δειναν την αδελφην αυτων

14 και ειπον προς αυτους, Δεν δυναμεθα να καμωμεν το πραγμα τουτο, να δωσωμεν την αδελφην ημων εις ανθρωπον απεριτμητον· διοτι τουτο ειναι ονειδος εις ημας·

15 επι τουτω μονον θελομεν συμφωνησει με σας· Εαν σεις γεινετε ως ημεις, περιτεμνοντες παν αρσενικον μεταξυ σας,

16 τοτε θελομεν δωσει τας θυγατερας ημων εις εσας, και τας θυγατερας σας θελομεν λαβει εις ημας, και θελομεν κατοικησει με σας και θελομεν γεινει εις λαος·

17 εαν ομως δεν μας ακουσητε να περιτμηθητε, τοτε θελομεν λαβει την θυγατερα ημων και θελομεν αναχωρησει.

18 Και ηρεσαν οι λογοι αυτων εις τον Εμμωρ και εις τον Συχεμ τον υιον του Εμμωρ·

19 και δεν εβραδυνεν ο νεος να καμη το πραγμα, διοτι υπερηγαπα την θυγατερα του Ιακωβ· και ητο ο ενδοξοτερος παντος του οικου του πατρος αυτου.

20 Και ηλθεν ο Εμμωρ και ο Συχεμ ο υιος αυτου εις την πυλην της πολεως αυτων, και ελαλησαν προς τους ανδρας της πολεως αυτων λεγοντες,

21 Οι ανθρωποι ουτοι ειναι ειρηνικοι μεθ' ημων· ας κατοικησωσι λοιπον εν τη γη και ας εμπορευωνται εν αυτη· διοτι η γη, ιδου, ειναι αρκετα ευρυχωρος δι' αυτους· τας θυγατερας αυτων ας λαβωμεν εις γυναικας, και τας θυγατερας ημων ας δωσωμεν εις αυτους·

22 επι τουτω μονον θελουσι συμφωνησει με ημας οι ανθρωποι δια να κατοικησωσι μεθ' ημων, ωστε να γεινωμεν εις λαος, εαν περιτμηθη παν αρσενικον μεταξυ ημων, καθως αυτοι περιτεμνονται·

23 τα ποιμνια αυτων και τα υπαρχοντα αυτων και παντα τα κτηνη αυτων δεν θελουσιν εισθαι ιδικα μας; μονον ας συμφωνησωμεν με αυτους, και θελουσι κατοικησει μεθ' ημων.

24 Και εισηκουσαν του Εμμωρ και Συχεμ του υιου αυτου παντες οι εξερχομενοι εκ της πυλης της πολεως αυτου· και περιετμηθη παν αρσενικον, παντες οι εξερχομενοι δια της πυλης της πολεως αυτου.

25 Την δε τριτην ημεραν, οτε ησαν εν τω πονω, δυο εκ των υιων του Ιακωβ, ο Συμεων και ο Λευι, αδελφοι της Δεινας, ελαβον εκαστος την μαχαιραν αυτου, και εισηλθον εις την πολιν ασφαλως και εφονευσαν παν αρσενικον.

26 Και τον Εμμωρ και τον Συχεμ τον υιον αυτου εφονευσαν εν στοματι μαχαιρας· και ελαβον την Δειναν εκ του οικου του Συχεμ και εξηλθον.

27 Οι δε υιοι του Ιακωβ ηλθον επι τους πεφονευμενους και διηρπασαν την πολιν, επειδη ειχον μιανει την αδελφην αυτων.

28 Ελαβον τα προβατα αυτων και τους βοας αυτων και τους ονους αυτων και ο, τι ητο εν τη πολει και ο, τι εν τω αγρω·

29 και πασαν την περιουσιαν αυτων και παντα τα παιδια αυτων και τας γυναικας αυτων ηχμαλωτισαν· και παν ο, τι ευρισκετο εν ταις οικιαις διηρπασαν.

30 Ειπε δε ο Ιακωβ προς τον Συμεων και προς τον Λευι, Εις ταραχην με εβαλετε, καμνοντες με μισητον μεταξυ των κατοικων της γης, μεταξυ των Χαναναιων και Φερεζαιων· εγω δε ολιγους ανθρωπους εχω, και εκεινοι θελουσι συναχθη εναντιον μου και θελουσι με παταξει και θελω απολεσθη εγω και ο οικος μου.

31 Οι δε ειπον, Επρεπε λοιπον την αδελφην ημων να μεταχειρισθωσιν ως πορνην;

4433. 'And he took her, and lay with her, and ravished her' means that there was no other way in which it could be joined to the affection for truth meant by the sons of Jacob, her brothers. This is clear from the meaning of 'taking her, lying with her, and ravishing her' as being joined together, though not in the rightful way, which is through betrothal. But the meaning these words carry, that there was no other way in which they could be joined together, cannot be seen by anyone unless he knows the fuller implications of them. Interior truth received from the Ancients, which is meant by 'Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite', is the truth which among the Ancients had served the internal dimension of the Church, and so had been the internal dimension of their statutes, judgements, and laws, in short of their religious observances and the like. Those truths were their matters of doctrine on which they based their lives, which were in fact matters of doctrine concerning charity; for in ancient times those who belonged to the genuine Church had no other kind of doctrine. These same truths may be called, in relation to doctrine, the interior truths of faith, but in relation to life, goods. If a Church was to be established among the nation descended from Jacob it was necessary for them to be introduced into those truths and goods. For unless internal things are present within external ones, that is, unless people have internal things in mind when involved with external ones - and unless at the same time they feel an affection for internal things or at least unless they feel an affection for external things on account of internal ones, nothing of the Church is there. Internal things constitute the Church, for the Lord is present within these; that is to say, spiritual and celestial things originating in Him are present within them.

[2] But the nation descended from Jacob, that is, the Israelitish and Jewish nation, was unable to be introduced in the rightful way which is through betrothal, for the reason that their external worship did not correspond [to anything internal]. For they received from their fore-fathers - from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob - the worship established by Eber, which was different externally from the worship of the Ancient Church, see 1238, 1241, 1343, 2180. And because that worship was different, interior truths which existed among the Ancients were not able to be joined to it in the rightful way through betrothal, only in the way described in this chapter. This enables one to understand what is involved in the assertion that there was no other way in which it could be joined to the affection for truth meant by 'the sons of Jacob, Dinah's brothers'.

[3] But although a joining together could have been effected in this way, in accordance with the law, also known to the Ancients, which is set out in Exodus 22:16; Deuteronomy 22:28-29, the character of that nation was nevertheless such that it would by no means allow any joining of interior truth received from the Ancients to the external forms of worship that existed among the descendants of Jacob, 4281, 4290, 4293, 4307, 4314, 4316, 4317. Among that nation therefore no Church could be established, but instead merely that which was a representative of the Church, see 4281, 4288, 4307. The character of that nation, which was such that it was not only unable to receive interior truths but also completely annihilated them among themselves, is represented in this chapter by the sons of Jacob answering Shechem and Hamor deceitfully, verse 13; and after that by Simeon and Levi's smiting the city with the edge of the sword and killing Shechem and Hamor, verses 25-26; and by the rest of the sons coming upon the slain and plundering the city, and taking away the flocks, the herds, and whatever there was in the city, in the field, and in the houses, verses 27-29. This shows what is meant by the prophetical utterances of Jacob, who by then was Israel,

Simeon and Levi are brothers; instruments of violence are their swords. Into their secret place let my soul not come; in their congregation let not my glory be united; for in their anger they killed a man, and in their pleasure they hamstrung an ox. Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce, and their fury, for it is severe. I will divide them in Jacob, and will scatter them in Israel. Genesis 49:5-7.

1 Joseph fell on his father's face, wept on him, and kissed him.

2 Joseph commanded his servants, the physicians, to embalm his father; and the physicians embalmed Israel.

3 Forty days were fulfilled for him, for that is how many the days it takes to embalm. The Egyptians wept for him for seventy days.

4 When the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

5 'My father made me swear, saying, "Behold, I am dying. Bury me in my grave which I have dug for myself in the land of Canaan." Now therefore, please let me go up and Bury my father, and I will come again.'"

6 Pharaoh said, "Go up, and bury your father, just like he made you swear."

7 Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, all the elders of the land of Egypt,

8 all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father's house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.

9 There went up with him both chariots and horsemen. It was a very great company.

10 They came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, and there they lamented with a very great and severe lamentation. He mourned for his father seven days.

11 When the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, "This is a grievous mourning by the Egyptians." Therefore, its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

12 His sons did to him just as he commanded them,

13 for his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field, for a possession of a burial site, from Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.

14 Joseph returned into Egypt--he, and his brothers, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.

15 When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, "It may be that Joseph will hate us, and will fully pay us back for all of the evil which we did to him."

16 They sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father commanded before he died, saying,

17 'You shall tell Joseph, "Now please forgive the disobedience of your brothers, and their sin, because they did evil to you."' Now, please forgive the disobedience of the servants of the God of your father." Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

18 His brothers also went and fell down before his face; and they said, "Behold, we are your servants."

19 Joseph said to them, "Don't be afraid, for am I in the place of God?

20 As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive.

21 Now therefore don't be afraid. I will nourish you and your little ones." He comforted them, and spoke kindly to them.

22 Joseph lived in Egypt, he, and his father's house. Joseph lived one hundred ten years.

23 Joseph saw Ephraim's children to the third generation. The children also of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born on Joseph's knees.

24 Joseph said to his brothers, "I am dying, but God will surely visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob."

25 Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here."

26 So Joseph died, being one hundred ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
