Бытие 40

Estude

   

1 Послј сихъ произшествій случилось, что виночерпій царя Египетскаго и хлјбодаръ провинились предъ господиномъ своимъ, царемъ Египетскимъ.

2 Фараонъ прогнјвался на двухъ евнуховъ своихъ, на главнаго виночерпія и на главпаго хлјбодара.

3 И отдалъ ихъ подъ стражу въ домъ начальника тјлохранителей, въ домъ темничный, въ то же мјсто, гдј заключенъ былъ Іосифъ,

4 Начальникъ тјлохранителей приставилъ къ нимъ Іосифа, и онъ служилъ имъ. Они пробыли подъ стражею нјсколько времени.

5 Однажды виночерпію и хлјбодару царя Египетскаго. заключеннымъ въ домј темничномъ, видјлись сны, каждому свой сонъ, обоимъ въ одну ночь, каждому сонъ особеннаго значенія.

6 Поутру Іосифъ, войдя къ нимъ, посмотрјлъ на нихъ, и вотъ, они въ задумчивости.

7 И такъ онъ спросилъ евнуховъ Фараоновыхъ, находившихся съ нимъ въ домј господина его подъ стражею, говоря: отъ чего у васъ сегодня такія мрачныя лица?

8 Они сказали ему: намъ видјлись сны; а истолковать ихъ не кому. Тогда Іосифъ сказалъ имъ: не отъ Бога ли истолкованія? разскажите мнј.

9 И сталъ главный виночерпій разсказывать Іосифу сонъ свой, и сказалъ ему: мнј видјлось, будто виноградная лоза передо мною.

10 На лозј были три вјтви. Она развилась, показался на ней цвјтъ, выросли и созрјли на ней ягоды.

11 У меня въ рукахъ была чаша Фараонова. Я взялъ ягодъ, выжалъ ихъ въ чашу Фараонову, и подалъ чашу въ руку Фараону.

12 Тогда Іосифъ сказалъ ему: вотъ истолкованіе: три вјтви значатъ три дня.

13 Чрезъ три дня Фараонъ вознесетъ главу твою, и опять поставитъ тебя на мјсто твое, и ты подашь чашу Фараонову въ руку его, по прежнему обыкновенію, какъ ты былъ у него виночерпіемъ.

14 Вспомни же меня, когда хорошо тебј будетъ; и сдјлай мнј благодјяніе, и скажи обо мнј Фараону, и выведи меня изъ этого дома.

15 Ибо я украденъ изъ земли Еврейской; а также и здјсь ничего не сдјлалъ, за что бы бросить меня въ эту яму.

16 Главный хлјбодаръ увидјлъ, что истолкованіе хорошо, и сказалъ Іосифу: а мнј видјлось, будто на головј у меня три корзины рјшетчатыхъ.

17 Въ верхней корзинј была всякая пища Фараонова, приготовленная хлјбодаромъ; и птицы клевали ее изъ корзины на головј моей.

18 Іосифъ отвјчалъ, и сказалъ: вотъ истолкованіе: три корзины значатъ три дня.

19 Чрезъ три дня Фараонъ сниметъ съ тебя голову, и повјситъ тебя на деревј; и птицы будутъ клевать плоть твою съ тебя.

20 На третій день, который былъ день рожденія Фараонова, сдјлалъ онъ пиръ для всјхъ служащихъ у него; и вспомнилъ о главномъ виночерпіи и главномъ хлјбодарј, среди служащихъ у него;

21 и поставилъ главнаго виночерпія на прежнее мјсто, и онъ подалъ чашу въ руку Фараону;

22 а главнаго хлјбодара повјсилъ, такъ какъ истолковалъ имъ Іосифъ.

23 Главный же виночерпій не вспомнилъ Іосифа, но забылъ его.

House

  
White House at Night by Vincent van Gogh

A "house" is essentially a container -- for a person, a family, several families or even a large group with shared interests (think of the term "houses of worship.") In the Bible, a "house" is also a container, but for spiritual things rather than natural things. In various uses a "house" can represent part of the mind, the whole mind, a whole person or even a church. The other nuance to the word "house" is that it is generally used in regards to our affections and desires rather than our thoughts and principles. This makes sense; we tend to engage our thoughts and rationality when we are out in the world doing our work, but when we are inside our houses we are driven most by love for our families and the desire to be good to those we love. So "house" tends to represent the things we want and care about -- which are ultimately the things that define us.

Genesis 40

Estude

   

1 It happened after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

3 He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.

5 They both dreamed a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.

6 Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.

7 He asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"

8 They said to him, "We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it." Joseph said to them, "Don't interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me."

9 The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,

10 and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.

11 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand."

12 Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

13 Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cupbearer.

14 But remember me when it will be well with you, and please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.

15 For indeed, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon."

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, "I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.

17 In the uppermost basket there was all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head."

18 Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation. The three baskets are three days.

19 Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you."

20 It happened the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand;

22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

23 Yet the chief cupbearer didn't remember Joseph, but forgot him.
