1 Ali glad beše vrlo velika u onoj zemlji.

2 Pa kad pojedoše žito koje behu doneli iz Misira, reče im otac: Idite opet, i kupite nam malo hrane.

3 A Juda mu progovori i reče: Tvrdo nam se zarekao onaj čovek govoreći: Nećete videti lice moje, ako ne bude s vama brat vaš.

4 Ako ćeš pustiti s nama brata našeg, ići ćemo i kupićemo ti hrane.

5 Ako li nećeš pustiti, nećemo ići, jer nam je rekao onaj čovek: Nećete videti lice moje, ako ne bude s vama brat vaš.

6 A Izrailj reče: Što mi to zlo učiniste i kazaste čoveku da imate još jednog brata?

7 A oni rekoše: Čovek je potanko raspitivao za nas i za rod naš govoreći: Je li vam jošte živ otac? Imate li još braće? A mi mu odgovorismo kako nas pitaše. Jesmo li mogli kako znati da će kazati: Dovedite brata svog?

8 I reče Juda Izrailju ocu svom: Pusti dete sa mnom, pa ćemo se podignuti i otići, da ostanemo živi i ne pomremo i mi i ti i naša deca.

9 Ja ti se jamčim za nj, iz moje ga ruke išti; ako ti ga ne dovedem natrag i preda te ne stavim, da sam ti kriv do veka.

10 Da nismo toliko oklevali, do sada bismo se dva puta vratili.

11 Onda reče Izrailj otac njihov: Kad je tako, učinite ovo: uzmite šta najlepše ima u ovoj zemlji u svoje vreće, i ponesite čoveku onom dar: malo tamjana i malo meda, mirisavog korenja i smirne, urme i badema.

12 A novaca ponesite dvojinom, i uzmite novce što behu ozgo u vrećama vašim i odnesite natrag, može biti da je pogreška.

13 I uzmite brata svog, pa ustanite i idite opet k onom čoveku.

14 A Bog Svemogući da vam da da nađete milost u onog čoveka, da vam pusti brata vašeg drugog i Venijamina; ako li ostanem bez dece, nek ostanem bez dece.

15 Tada uzevši dare i novaca dvojinom, uzevši i Venijamina, podigoše se i otidoše u Misir, i izađoše pred Josifa.

16 A Josif kad vide s njima Venijamina, reče čoveku koji upravljaše kućom njegovom: Odvedi ove ljude u kuću, pa nakolji mesa i zgotovi, jer će u podne sa mnom jesti ovi ljudi.

17 I učini čovek kako Josif reče, i uvede ljude u kuću Josifovu.

18 A oni se bojahu kad ih čovek vođaše u kuću Josifovu, i rekoše: Za novce koji pre behu metnuti u vreće naše vodi nas, dokle smisli kako će nas okriviti, da nas zarobi i uzme naše magarce.

19 Pa pristupivši k čoveku koji upravljaše kućom Josifovom, progovoriše mu na vratima kućnim,

20 I rekoše: Čuj, gospodaru; došli smo bili i pre, i kupismo hrane;

21 Pa kad dođosmo u jednu gostionicu i otvorismo vreće, a to novci svakog nas behu ozgo u vreći njegovoj, novci naši na meru; i evo smo ih doneli natrag;

22 A druge smo novce doneli da kupimo hrane; ne znamo ko nam metnu novce naše u vreće.

23 A on im reče: Budite mirni, ne bojte se; Bog vaš i Bog oca vašeg metnuo je blago u vreće vaše; novci su vaši bili u mene. I izvede im Simeuna.

24 I uvede ih čovek u kuću Josifovu, i donese im vode te opraše noge, i magarcima njihovim položi.

25 I pripraviše dar čekajući dokle dođe Josif u podne, jer čuše da će oni onde jesti.

26 I kad Josif dođe kući, iznesoše mu dar koji imahu kod sebe, i pokloniše mu se do zemlje.

27 A on ih zapita kako su, i reče: Kako je otac vaš stari, za koga mi govoriste? Je li jošte živ?

28 A oni rekoše: Dobro je sluga tvoj, otac naš; još je živ. I pokloniše mu se.

29 A on pogledavši vide Venijamina brata svog, sina matere svoje, i reče: Je li vam to najmlađi brat vaš za kog mi govoriste? I reče: Bog da ti bude milostiv, sinko!

30 A Josifu goraše srce od ljubavi prema bratu svom, te brže potraži gde će plakati, i ušavši u jednu sobu plaka onde.

31 Posle umiv se izađe, i ustežući se reče: Dajte jelo.

32 I donesoše njemu najposle i Misircima koji obedovahu u njega, jer ne mogahu Misirci jesti s Jevrejima, jer je to nečisto Misircima.

33 A seđahu pred njim stariji po stareštvu svom a mlađi po mladosti svojoj. I zgledahu se od čuda.

34 I uzimajući jela ispred sebe slaše njima, i Venijaminu dopade pet puta više nego drugima. I piše i napiše se s njim.

5533. They and their father. That this signifies from truths and the good of truth in the natural, is evident from the representation of the sons of Jacob, who here are “they,” as being truths in the natural (see n. 5403, 5419, 5427, 5458, 5512); and from the representation of Jacob, who is here “their father,” as being the good of truth also in the natural (n. 3659, 3669, 3677, 3775, 4234, 4273, 4538). What is meant by perception from truths and from the good of truth in the natural, may indeed be unfolded, but not so as to fall into the apprehension, except very obscurely. But in very deed this falls into the understanding of spirits as in clear day, being to them one of the more easy things. Thus it may in some measure be seen what a difference there is between the intelligence of man while he is in the world and its light, and when he is in heaven and the light there.

Genesis 42

Студија

   

1 Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?"

2 He said, "Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there, and buy for us from there, so that we may live, and not die."

3 Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.

4 But Jacob didn't send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with his brothers; for he said, "Lest perhaps harm happen to him."

5 The sons of Israel came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

6 Joseph was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph's brothers came, and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the earth.

7 Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but acted like a stranger to them, and spoke roughly with them. He said to them, "Where did you come from?" They said, "From the land of Canaan to buy food."

8 Joseph recognized his brothers, but they didn't recognize him.

9 Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said to them, "You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land."

10 They said to him, "No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.

11 We are all one man's sons; we are honest men. Your servants are not spies."

12 He said to them, "No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land!"

13 They said, "We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more."

14 Joseph said to them, "It is like I told you, saying, 'You are spies!'

15 By this you shall be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go forth from here, unless your youngest brother comes here.

16 Send one of you, and let him get your brother, and you shall be bound, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you, or else by the life of Pharaoh surely you are spies."

17 He put them all together into custody for three days.

18 Joseph said to them the third day, "Do this, and live, for I fear God.

19 If you are honest men, then let one of your brothers be bound in your prison; but you go, carry grain for the famine of your houses.

20 Bring your youngest brother to me; so will your words be verified, and you won't die." They did so.

21 They said one to another, "We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us, and we wouldn't listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us."

22 Reuben answered them, saying, "Didn't I tell you, saying, 'Don't sin against the child,' and you wouldn't listen? Therefore also, behold, his blood is required."

23 They didn't know that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them.

24 He turned himself away from them, and wept. Then he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before their eyes.

25 Then Joseph gave a command to fill their bags with grain, and to restore each man's money into his sack, and to give them food for the way. So it was done to them.

26 They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there.

27 As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food in the lodging place, he saw his money. Behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.

28 He said to his brothers, "My money is restored! Behold, it is in my sack!" Their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling one to another, saying, "What is this that God has done to us?"

29 They came to Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened to them, saying,

30 "The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country.

31 We said to him, 'We are honest men. We are no spies.

32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.'

33 The man, the lord of the land, said to us, 'By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your houses, and go your way.

34 Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and you shall trade in the land.'"

35 It happened as they emptied their sacks, that behold, each man's bundle of money was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid.

36 Jacob, their father, said to them, "You have bereaved me of my children! Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All these things are against me."

37 Reuben spoke to his father, saying, "Kill my two sons, if I don't bring him to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him to you again."

38 He said, "My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he only is left. If harm happens to him along the way in which you go, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol."
