创世记第49章

学习

   

1 雅各了他的儿子们来,:你们都来聚集,我好把你们日後必遇的事告诉你们。

2 雅各的儿子们,你们要聚集而,要你们父亲以色列的话。

3 流便哪,你是我的长子,是我力量强壮的时候生的,本当大有尊荣,权力超众。

4 但你放纵情欲,滚沸如,必不得居首位;因为你上了你父亲,污秽了我的榻。

5 西缅和利未是弟兄;他们的刀剑是残忍的器具。

6 我的灵阿,不要与他们同谋;我的心哪,不要与他们联络;因为他们趁怒杀害命,任意砍断牛腿大筋。

7 他们的怒气暴烈可咒;他们的忿恨残忍可诅。我要使他们分居在雅各家里,散住在以色列地中。

8 犹大阿,你弟兄们必赞美你;你必掐住仇敌的颈项;你父亲儿子们必向你下拜。

9 犹大是个小狮子;我儿阿,你抓了食便上去。你屈下身去,卧如公狮,蹲如母狮,谁敢惹你?

10 圭必不离犹大,杖必不离他两之间,直等细罗(就是赐平安者)到,万民都必归顺。

11 犹大把小拴在葡萄树上,把驹拴在美好的葡萄树上。他在葡萄酒中洗了衣服,在葡萄汁中洗了袍褂。

12 他的眼睛必因酒红润;他的牙齿必因奶白亮。

13 西布伦必住在口,必成为停口;他的境界必延到西顿。

14 以萨迦是个强壮的,卧在羊圈之中。

15 他以安静为佳,以肥为美,便低肩背重,成为服苦的仆人。

16 但必判断他的民,作以色列支派之

17 但必作道上的中的虺,咬伤蹄,使骑的坠落於後。

18 耶和华阿,我向来等候你的救恩

19 迦得必被敌军追逼,他却要追逼他们的脚跟

20 亚设之地必出肥美的粮食,且出君的美味。

21 拿弗他利是被释放的母鹿;他出嘉美的言语。

22 约瑟是多结果子的树枝,是泉旁多结果的枝子;他的枝条探出外。

23 弓箭手将他苦害,向他射箭,逼迫他。

24 但他的仍旧坚硬;他的健壮敏捷。这是因以色列的牧者,以色列的─就是雅各的大能者。

25 父亲的神必帮助你;那全能者必将上所有的福,地里所藏的福,以及生产乳养的福,都赐给你。

26 父亲所祝的福,胜过我祖先所祝的福,如永世的山岭,至极的边界;这些福必降在约瑟的上,临到那与弟兄迥别之人的顶上。

27 便雅悯是个撕掠的早晨他所抓的,晚上要分他所夺的。

28 这一切是以色列的十二支派;这也是他们的父亲对他们所的话,为他们所祝的福,都是按着各人的福分为他们祝福

29 他又嘱咐他们:我将要归到我列祖(原文作本民)那里,你们要将我葬在赫人以弗仑田间的洞里,与我祖我父在一处,

30 就是在迦南幔利前、麦比拉田间的洞;那洞和田是亚伯拉罕向赫人以弗仑买来为业,作坟的。

31 他们在那里葬了亚伯拉罕和他妻撒拉,又在那里葬了以撒和他的妻子利百加;我也在那里葬了利亚。

32 那块田和田间的洞原是向赫人买的。

33 雅各嘱咐众子已毕,就把收在床上,气绝而死,归到列祖(原文作本民)那里去了。

6236. 'They are mine' means that they are within me. This is clear from the representation of 'Jacob', who says this regarding himself, as the truth of the natural, dealt with below; and from the representation of Manasseh and Ephraim, to whom he is referring, as the Church's will and the Church's understanding within the natural, dealt with in 5354, 6222. The reason 'they are mine' means within me is that in representing the truth of the natural 'Jacob' also represents the natural in relation to truth, and within the natural there exist an understanding part and a will part, which are represented by 'Ephraim and Manasseh'. And as they exist in the natural 'they are mine' therefore means within me.

[2] 'Jacob' represents the natural - in the highest sense the Lord's Divine Natural, see 3305, 3509, 3525, 3576, 4009, 4538, 4570, 6098, and in the relative sense truth in the natural, thus also the natural in relation to truth, 3509, 3525, 3546. And since 'Jacob' in general is truth in the natural, his ten sons are the Church's truths there in particular, 5403, 5419, 5427, 5458, 5511; and so now are Joseph's sons too. 'Pharaoh' likewise represents the natural, though not as regards truths but as regards factual knowledge, which is of a lower order than truths but is that into which they can be introduced and instilled, represented by the coming of Jacob and his sons to Egypt.

Arcana Coelestia#2083

2083. 'And you will call his name Isaac' means the Divine Rational. This is clear from Isaac's representation and also from the meaning of his name in the internal sense.

From Isaac's representation: As stated frequently already, 'Abraham' represents the Lord's Internal Man, 'Isaac' His Rational Man, and 'Jacob' His Natural Man. The Lord's Internal Man was Jehovah Himself. Because the Rational Man was conceived from the influx of the Internal Man into the External Man's affection for knowledge, 1896, 1902, 1910, it originated in the Divine thus joined to the Human. Consequently the first rational represented by 'Ishmael' was human, but it was made Divine by the Lord, and is then represented by 'Isaac'.

From the meaning of his name: He was given the name Isaac from the word for 'laughter', and because laughter in the internal sense means the affection for truth, which belongs to the rational, as shown above in 2072, Isaac accordingly here means the Divine Rational.

[2] From His own power the Lord made Divine everything that was human with Him. Thus He made not only the rational Divine but also the sensory part, interior and exterior, and so the body itself. In this way He united the Human to the Divine. It has been shown already that not only the rational, but also the sensory part, and so the whole body also was made Divine and Jehovah. This may also become clear to anyone from the fact that He alone has risen as to the body from the dead, and sits at the right hand of the Divine Power both with His entire Divine and with His entire Human. 'Sitting at the right hand of Divine power' means having all power in heaven and on earth.
