Genesis 39

പഠനം

   

1 Ja Joosep viidi alla Egiptusesse; ja egiptlane Pootifar, vaarao hoovkondlane, ihukaitsepealik, ostis tema ismaeliitidelt, kes olid ta sinna toonud.

2 Aga Issand oli Joosepiga ja tema oli mees, kellel kõik asjad korda läksid; ja ta elas oma isanda, egiptlase kojas.

3 Ka tema isand nägi, et Issand oli temaga ja et kõik, mis ta tegi, laskis Issand tema käes korda minna.

4 Ja Joosep leidis armu tema silmis ning teenis teda; ja ta pani tema oma koja üle, ja kõik, mis tal oli, ta andis tema kätte.

5 Ja sellest ajast peale, kui ta oli pannud tema oma koja üle, ja kõige üle, mis tal oli, Issand õnnistas egiptlase koda Joosepi pärast, ja Issanda õnnistus oli kõigega, mis tal oli kojas ja väljal.

6 Ja ta jättis kõik, mis tal oli, Joosepi kätte ega teadnud millestki, kui ainult leivast, mida ta sõi. Joosep oli jumekas ja ilusa välimusega.

7 Nende asjaolude tõttu sündis, et ta isanda naine Joosepile silma heitis ja ütles: 'Maga mu juures!'

8 Aga ta keeldus ja ütles oma isanda naisele: 'Vaata, mu isand ise ei tea, mis kojas on, ja kõik, mis tal on, ta on andnud minu kätte.

9 Ei ole ükski selles kojas suurem minust ja tema ei ole mulle keelanud midagi muud kui sind, sest sa oled tema naine. Kuidas tohiksin siis teha seda suurt kurja ja pattu oma Jumala vastu?'

10 Ja kuigi naine rääkis Joosepile iga päev, ei kuulanud see teda, et ta magaks ta kõrval ja oleks ta juures.

11 Aga ühel päeval, kui Joosep tuli koju oma toimetusi tegema ja ühtegi inimest pererahvast ei olnud kodus,

12 haaras ta kinni tema kuuest, öeldes: 'Maga mu juures!' Aga Joosep jättis oma kuue tema kätte, põgenes ja läks õue.

13 Ja kui naine nägi, et ta oma kuue oli jätnud tema kätte ja oli põgenenud õue,

14 siis ta hüüdis pererahvast ja rääkis neile, öeldes: 'Näete, ta on toonud meie juurde heebrea mehe meid ära naerma! Ta tuli mu juurde, et minuga magada, aga ma hüüdsin suure häälega,

15 ja kui ta kuulis, et ma häält tõstsin ja hüüdsin, siis ta jättis oma kuue mu juurde, põgenes ja läks õue.'

16 Ja ta pani tema kuue enese kõrvale seniks, kui ta isand koju tuli.

17 Ja ta rääkis temale needsamad sõnad, öeldes: 'Heebrea sulane, kelle sa oled meie juurde toonud, tuli mu juurde mind ära naerma.

18 Aga kui ma häält tõstsin ja hüüdsin, siis ta jättis oma kuue mu juurde ja põgenes õue.'

19 Ja kui ta isand kuulis oma naise jutustust, mida see temale rääkis, öeldes: 'Nõndaviisi on su sulane minuga teinud', siis ta viha süttis põlema.

20 Ja Joosepi isand võttis tema ja pani vangihoonesse, sinna paika, kus kuninga vange kinni peeti. Siis oli ta seal vangihoones.

21 Aga Issand oli Joosepiga ja pööras tema poole oma helduse ning tegi, et ta sai vangihoone ülema soosikuks.

22 Ja vangihoone ülem andis Joosepi kätte kõik vangid, kes olid vangihoones, ja kõik, mis seal pidi tehtama, tegi tema.

23 Vangihoone ülem ei vaadanud millegi järele, mis oli tema käes, sest Issand oli temaga ja mis ta tegi, Issand laskis korda minna.

4967. 'An Egyptian man' means natural truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'a man' as truth, dealt with in 3134, and from the meaning of 'Egypt' as factual knowledge in general, dealt with immediately above in 4964, 4966. And since 'Egypt' means factual knowledge it also means the natural, for all the factual knowledge present with a person constitutes his natural since it resides in his natural man, and includes knowledge about spiritual and heavenly realities. The reason for this is that the natural is the position within which and from which he sees those realities. Those which he does not see from that position are unintelligible to him. But a regenerate person, who is called spiritual, sees them in one way, an unregenerate person, who is called merely natural, in another. In the case of a regenerate person factual knowledge has the light of heaven shed upon it, but not so in the case of an unregenerate one. The light shed on the unregenerate person's factual knowledge comes by way of spirits governed by falsity and evil, a light which, it is true, begins as the light of heaven but among such spirits is reduced to a dim light like that of evening or night. Indeed spirits of this kind, and consequently men like them, see in the way owls do - clearly at night but dimly during the daytime. That is, they see falsities clearly and truths dimly, and therefore worldly things clearly but heavenly ones dimly, if at all. From this one may recognize that genuine factual knowledge is natural truth; for all genuine factual knowledge that is of the kind meant in the good sense by 'Egypt' is natural truth.

3134. 'Who said, Thus the man spoke to me' means the leanings of truth in the natural man. This likewise is clear from the affection that occurs here, and also from what the man, or Abraham's servant, said to Rebekah, from which it is evident that the leanings of truth are meant; and from the meaning of 'the man' as truth, dealt with in 265, 749, 1007, here truth within the natural man and coming from the Divine, as he is Abraham's oldest servant, who means the natural man, see 3019. In the prophetical part of the Word especially 'man' (vir) is a word that occurs often - in the expressions 'man and wife', 'man and woman', 'man and inhabitant', and also 'man and human being' (vir et homo). In those expressions 'man' in the internal sense means that which belongs to the understanding, which is truth, while 'wife', 'woman', 'inhabitant', and 'human being' mean that which belongs to the will, which is good. As in Isaiah,

I look, and there is no man, and from these there is no counsellor. Isaiah 41:28.

'No man' stands for no one having intelligence, and so for no truth.

[2] In the same prophet,

I came, and there was no man; I called and no one answered. Isaiah 50:2.

Here the meaning is the same. In the same prophet,

Truth has stumbled in the street, and uprightness has been unable to come in, and truth has been removed, and he who retreats from evil is insane. Jehovah saw, and it was evil in His eyes that there was no judgement. And He saw, and there was no man, and wondered. Isaiah 59:14-16.

'No man' clearly stands for no one having intelligence, and so in the universal sense for no truth. These verses in Isaiah refer to the final period of the Church when no truth at all exists any longer. Hence the statement 'truth has stumbled in the street, uprightness cannot come in, and truth has been removed'. 'The street' too has reference to truth, see 2336, as does 'judgement', 2235. In Jeremiah,

Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem and see now, and take note, and search in its broad places, if you find a man, if anyone is executing judgement and seeking truth. Jeremiah 5:1.

Here also 'a man' clearly stands for one having intelligence, and for truth. In Zephaniah,

I will make their streets desolate with none passing through; their cities will be devastated, with not a man and not an inhabitant there. Zephaniah 3:6.

'Not a man' stands for no truth, 'not an inhabitant' for no good, 2268, 2451, 2712. The same occurs in many other places besides these.
