1 József pedig az õ atyja orczájára borúla és siránkozék felette és csókolgatá õt.

2 És megparancsolá József az õ szolgáinak, az orvosoknak, hogy balzsamozzák be az õ atyját; és bebalzsamozák az orvosok Izráelt.

3 Mikor negyven nap eltelék, mert akkorra telnek be a bebalzsamozás napjai, siraták õt az Égyiptombeliek hetven napig.

4 És elmúlának az õ siratásának napjai, és szóla József a Faraó házanépéhez, mondván: Ha kedves vagyok elõttetek, szóljatok kérlek a Faraónak, mondván:

5 Az én atyám engem megesketett, mondván: Ímé én meghalok; az én síromba, melyet Kanaán földén ástam magamnak, oda temess el engem. Most hát kérlek, hadd menjek el, és temessem el az én atyámat, azután visszatérek.

6 És monda a Faraó: Eredj el és temesd el a te atyádat, a mint megesketett téged.

7 Elméne azért József, hogy az õ atyját eltemesse, és vele együtt felmenének mind a Faraó szolgái, az õ házának vénei és Égyiptom földének minden vénei.

8 Józsefnek is egész háznépe; és az õ bátyjai, és az õ atyjának háznépe; csak gyermekeiket, juhaikat és barmaikat hagyták a Gósen földén.

9 Felmenének annakfelette õ vele szekerek is és lovagok, úgy hogy igen nagy sereg vala.

10 Mikor eljutának Atád szérûjéhez, mely a Jordánon túl van, nagy és keserves sírással sírának ott. József pedig hét napig gyászolá az õ atyját.

11 És láták az ország lakosai, a Kanaán népe azt a gyászt Atád szérûjénél, és mondának: Keserves gyásza ez az Égyiptombelieknek. Azért nevezék azt a helyet Ábel Miczrajimnak, mely a Jordánon túl van.

12 Aképen cselekedének azért [Jákóbbal] az õ fiai, a miképen megparancsolta vala nékik.

13 Elvivék ugyanis õt az õ fiai Kanaán földére és eltemeték õt a Makpelah mezõnek barlangjába, melyet vett vala Ábrahám a mezõvel együtt temetésre való örökségnek a Khitteus Efrontól Mamrénak átellenében.

14 És visszatére József Égyiptomba, õ, és az õ atyjafiai, és mind azok, kik vele fölmentek vala az õ atyjának temetésére, minekutána eltemette az õ atyját.

15 A mint láták József bátyjai, hogy az õ atyjok meghalt, ezt mondják vala: Hátha gyûlölni fog minket József, és visszaadja nékünk mindazt a gonoszt, a mit rajta elkövettünk.

16 Izenetet küldének azért Józsefhez, mondván: A te atyád megparancsolta nékünk az õ holta elõtt, mondván:

17 Így szóljatok Józsefhez: Kérünk téged, bocsásd meg a te atyádfiainak vétkét és bûnöket, mert gonoszul cselekedtek te ellened. Most azért bocsásd meg azoknak vétkét, a kik a te atyád Istenét szolgálják. József pedig sír vala, mikor ezt mondák néki.

18 Járulának pedig õ hozzá az õ testvérei is, és leborúlának elõtte és mondának: Ímé mi a te szolgáid [vagyunk].

19 József pedig monda: Ne féljetek: avagy Isten gyanánt [vagyok-é ]én?

20 Ti gonoszt gondoltatok én ellenem, [de] Isten azt jóra gondolta [fordítani], hogy cselekedjék úgy a mint ma, hogy sok nép életét megtartsa.

21 Most annakokáért ne féljetek: Eltartalak én titeket és a ti gyermekeiteket. És megvígasztalá õket és szívökre beszéle.

22 József pedig Égyiptomban lakozék; mind õ, mind az õ atyjának házanépe. És éle József száz tíz esztendeig.

23 És látá József Efraimtól harmad ízben való fiait. Manasse fiának Mákhirnak is születtek József térdén gyermekei.

24 És monda József az õ testvéreinek: Én meghalok, de Isten bizonnyal meglátogat titeket és felvisz titeket e földrõl arra a földre, melyet esküvel ígért meg Ábrahámnak, Izsáknak és Jákóbnak.

25 És megesketé József Izráel fiait, mondván: Mikor az Isten titeket bizonnyal meglátogat, vigyétek fel innen az én tetemeimet magatokkal.

26 És meghala József száz tíz esztendõs korában, és bebalzsamozák, és koporsóba tevék Égyiptomban.

6566. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him. That this signifies reception from love, is evident from the signification of “weeping,” as being a significant of both sorrow and love (see n. 3801, 5480, 5873, 5927, 5930); from the representation of Joseph, as being the internal celestial (n. 5805, 5826, 5827, 5869, 5877, 6177, 6224); and from the signification of “speaking,” as being influx, and thence reception (see n. 5797); for the influx is from the internal celestial, which is “Joseph,” and the reception is by the truths in the natural, which are his “brethren.” Hence it is evident that by “Joseph wept when they spake unto him” is signified reception from love.

3758. GENESIS 29

1. And Jacob lifted up his feet, and went to the land of the sons of the east.

2. And he saw, and behold a well in the field, and behold there three droves of the flock lying by it; for out of that well they watered the droves; and a great stone was upon the well’s mouth.

3. And all the droves were gathered together thither; and they rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock, and they put the stone in its place again upon the well’s mouth.

4. And Jacob said unto them, My brethren whence are ye? And they said, We are from Haran.

5. And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.

6. And he said unto them, Hath he peace? And they said, Peace; and behold Rachel his daughter cometh with the flock.

7. And he said, Behold as yet the day is great, it is not time for the cattle to be gathered together: water ye the flock, and go and feed them.

8. And they said, We cannot until all the droves are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well’s mouth; then shall we water the flock.

9. While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with the flock which was her father’s, for she was a shepherdess.

10. And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the flock of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob came near, and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.

11. And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.

12. And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s brother, and that he was Rebekah’s son; and she ran and told her father.

13. And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house; and he told Laban all these things.

14. And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he dwelt with him a month of days.

15. And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? Tell me, what shall be thy reward?

16. And Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

17. And Leah’s eyes were weak, and Rachel was beautiful in form and beautiful in look.

18. And Jacob loved Rachel, and he said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.

19. And Laban said, It is better that I should give her to thee than give her to another man; abide with me.

20. And Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they were in his eyes as a few days, for the love he had to her.

21. And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my woman, for my days are fulfilled, and I will come to her.

22. And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

23. And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him, and he came to her.

24. And Laban gave her Zilpah his handmaid, unto his daughter Leah for a handmaid.

25. And it came to pass in the morning that behold it was Leah; and he said unto Laban, What is this that thou hast done unto me? Did not I serve with thee for Rachel? And why hast thou defrauded me?

26. And Laban said, It is not so done in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.

27. Fulfill this week, and we will give thee her also, for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.

28. And Jacob did so, and fulfilled this week, and he gave him Rachel his daughter for a woman.

29. And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be to her for a handmaid.

30. And he came also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

31. And Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, and He opened her womb, and Rachel was barren.

32. And Leah conceived and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben, for she said, Because Jehovah hath seen my affliction, for now my man will love me.

33. And she conceived again, and bare a son, and said, Because Jehovah hath heard that I was hated, and hath given me this one also; and she called his name Simeon.

34. And she conceived again, and bare a son, and said, Now this time will my man cleave to me, because I have borne him three sons; therefore she called his name Levi.

35. And she conceived again, and bare a son, and she said, This time I will confess Jehovah; therefore she called his name Judah; and she stood still from bearing.

THE CONTENTS.

In the internal sense of this chapter by “Jacob” is described the Lord’s natural-how the good of truth therein was conjoined with kindred good from a Divine origin, which good is “Laban;” at first through the affection of external truth, which is “Leah;” and then through the affection of internal truth, which is “Rachel.”
