1 Stalo se pak po dvou letech, měl Farao sen. Zdálo mu se, že stál nad potokem.

2 A aj, z toho potoku vycházelo sedm krav, pěkných na pohledění a tlustých, kteréžto pásly se na mokřinách.

3 A aj, sedm krav jiných vycházelo za nimi z potoku, šeredných na pohledění a hubených, kteréžto stály podlé oněch krav při břehu potoka.

4 A ty krávy na pohledění šeredné a hubené sežraly oněch sedm krav na pohledění pěkných a tlustých. I procítil Farao.

5 A když usnul zase, zdálo se jemu podruhé. A aj, sedm klasů vyrostlo z stébla jednoho, plných a pěkných.

6 A aj, sedm klasů tenkých a východním větrem usvadlých vzcházelo za nimi.

7 A ti klasové tencí pohltili sedm oněch klasů zdařilých a plných. I procítiv Farao, a aj, byl sen.

8 Když pak bylo ráno, zkormoucena byla mysl jeho; a poslav, svolal všecky hadače Egyptské, a všecky mudrce jejich. I vypravoval jim Farao sny své; a nebylo žádného, kdo by je vyložil Faraonovi.

9 Tedy mluvil nejvyšší šeňk Faraonovi takto: Na provinění své rozpomínám se dnes.

10 Farao rozhněvav se na služebníky své, dal mne byl do vězení v domě nejvyššího nad drabanty, mne a správce nad pekaři.

11 Měli jsme pak sen jedné noci, on i já, jeden každý podlé vyložení snu svého.

12 A byl tam s námi mládenec Hebrejský, služebník nejvyššího nad drabanty, jemuž když jsme vypravovali, vykládal nám sny naše; jednomu každému podlé snu jeho vykládal.

13 A stalo se, že jakž vykládal nám, tak bylo: Já jsem navrácen k úřadu svému, a on oběšen.

14 Tedy poslav Farao, povolal Jozefa, a rychle vypustili ho z žaláře. Kterýžto oholiv se, a změniv roucho své, přišel k Faraonovi.

15 I řekl Farao Jozefovi: Měl jsem sen, a není, kdo by jej vyložil; o tobě pak slyšel jsem to, že když uslyšíš sen, umíš jej vyložiti.

16 Odpověděl Jozef Faraonovi, řka: Není to má věc; Bůh oznámí šťastné věci Faraonovi.

17 Tedy řekl Farao Jozefovi: Zdálo mi se ve snách, že jsem stál na břehu potoka.

18 A aj, z potoka toho vystupovalo sedm krav tlustých a pěkných, kteréžto pásly se na mokřinách.

19 A aj, sedm jiných krav vystupovalo za nimi churavých a šeredných velmi a hubených; neviděl jsem tak šeredných ve vší zemi Egyptské.

20 A sežraly krávy ty hubené a šeredné sedm krav prvnějších tlustých.

21 A ač dostaly se do břicha jejich, však nebylo znáti, by se dostaly v střeva jejich; nebo na pohledění byly mrzké, jako i před tím. I procítil jsem.

22 Viděl jsem také ve snách, ano sedm klasů vyrostlo z stébla jednoho plných a pěkných.

23 A aj, sedm klasů drobných, tenkých a východním větrem usvadlých vycházelo za nimi.

24 I pohltili klasové ti drobní sedm klasů pěkných. Což když jsem vypravoval hadačům, nebyl, kdo by mi vyložil.

25 Odpověděl Jozef Faraonovi: Sen Faraonův jednostejný jest. Což Bůh činiti bude, to ukázal Faraonovi.

26 Sedm krav pěkných jest Sedm let, a Sedm klasů pěkných tolikéž jest Sedm let; sen jest jednostejný.

27 Sedm pak hubených krav a šeredných, vystupujících za nimi, Sedm let jest; a Sedm klasů drobných a větrem východním usvadlých bude Sedm let hladu.

28 Toť jest, což jsem mluvil Faraonovi: Což Bůh činiti bude, ukazuje Faraonovi.

29 Aj, sedm let nastane, v nichž hojnost veliká bude ve vší zemi Egyptské.

30 A po nich nastane sedm let hladu,v nichž v zapomenutí přijde všecka ta hojnost v zemi Egyptské; a zhubí hlad zemi.

31 Aniž poznána bude hojnost ta v zemi, pro hlad, kterýž přijde potom; nebo velmi veliký bude.

32 Že pak opětován jest sen Faraonovi podvakrát, znamená, že jistá věc jest od Boha, a že tím spíše Bůh vykoná to.

33 Protož nyní ať vyhledá Farao muže opatrného a moudrého, kteréhož by ustanovil nad zemí Egyptskou.

34 To ať učiní Farao, a postaví úředníky nad zemí, a béře pátý díl z úrod země Egyptské, po sedm let hojných.

35 Ať shromáždí všeliké potravy těch úrodných let nastávajících, a sklidí obilí k ruce Faraonovi; a potravy v městech ať se chovají pilně.

36 A budou pokrmové ti za poklad zemi této k sedmi letům hladu, kteráž budou v zemi Egyptské, aby nebyla zkažena země tato hladem.

37 I líbila se řeč ta Faraonovi i všechněm služebníkům jeho.

38 Tedy řekl Farao služebníkům svým: Najdeme-liž podobného tomuto muži, v němž by byl Duch Boží?

39 Jozefovi pak řekl: Poněvadž Bůh dal znáti tobě všecko toto, neníť žádného tak rozumného a moudrého, jako ty jsi.

40 Ty budeš nad domem mým, a líbati bude tvář tvou všecken lid můj; stolicí toliko královskou vyšší nad tebe budu.

41 Řekl také Farao Jozefovi: Aj, ustanovil jsem tě nade vší zemi Egyptskou.

42 A sňav Farao prsten svůj s ruky své, dal jej na ruku Jozefovu, a oblékl ho v roucho kmentové, a vložil zlatý řetěz na hrdlo jeho.

43 A dal ho voziti na svém druhém voze, a volali před ním: Klanějte se! I ustanovil ho nade vší zemi Egyptskou.

44 A řekl Farao Jozefovi: Já jsem Farao, a bez dopuštění tvého nepozdvihne žádný ruky své ani nohy své ve vší zemi Egyptské.

45 A dal Farao jméno Jozefovi Safenat Paneach, a dal mu Asenat dceru Putifera, knížete On, za manželku. I vyšel Jozef na zemi Egyptskou.

46 (Jozef pak byl ve třidcíti letech, když stál před Faraonem králem Egyptským.) A vyšed od tváři Faraonovy, projel všecku zemi Egyptskou.

47 A vydala země po sedm let úrodných obilí hojnost.

48 I nahromáždil všelijakých potrav v těch sedmi letech hojných v zemi Egyptské, a složil potravu tu v městech; úrody polní jednoho každého města, kteréž byly okolo něho, složil v něm.

49 A tak nahromáždil Jozef obilí velmi mnoho, jako jest písku mořského, tak že přestali počítati; nebo mu nebylo počtu.

50 Jozefovi pak narodili se dva synové, prvé než přišel rok hladu, kteréž mu porodila Asenat, dcera Putifera, knížete On.

51 A nazval Jozef jméno prvorozeného Manasses, řka: Nebo způsobil to Bůh, abych zapomenul na všecky práce své, a na všecken dům otce svého.

52 Jméno pak druhého nazval Efraim, řka: Nebo dal mi Bůh zrůst v zemi trápení mého.

53 Tedy pominulo sedm let hojných v zemi Egyptské;

54 A počalo sedm let hladu přicházeti, jakž byl předpověděl Jozef. I byl hlad po všech krajinách, ale po vší zemi Egyptské byl chléb.

55 Potom také nedostatek trpěla všecka země Egyptská, a volal lid k Faraonovi o chléb. I řekl Farao všechněm Egyptským: Jděte k Jozefovi, což vám rozkáže, učiníte.

56 A byl hlad na tváři vší země. Tedy otevřel Jozef všecky obilnice, v nichž obilí bylo, a prodával Egyptským; nebo rozmohl se hlad v zemi Egyptské.

57 A všickni obyvatelé země přicházeli do Egypta k Jozefovi, aby kupovali; nebo rozmohl se byl hlad po vší zemi.

5225. 'And there was no one to interpret them for Pharaoh' means that no knowledge existed of what was going to happen. This is clear from the meaning of 'interpreting' as knowing what was going to happen, dealt with in 5141, and therefore 'no one to interpret' means no knowledge of it since 'no one' in the internal sense means the absence and so non-existence of some reality. For the idea of a person is converted in the internal sense into that of some reality. For example, the idea of a man, husband, woman, wife, son, daughter, boy, or virgin is converted into the idea of some truth or form of good. Or, as above in 5223, the idea of a magus and a wise man is converted into that of factual knowledge, interior and exterior. The reason for this is that in the spiritual world, that is, in heaven, angels' attention is fixed not on persons but on spiritual realities. For persons narrow an idea down and focus it on some finite thing, whereas spiritual realities do not involve any such narrowing down or focusing but spread to what is Infinite, and so to the Lord. This explains too why in heaven no one ever perceives a person mentioned in the Word; instead they perceive the reality represented by that person. Nor for the same reason does anyone in heaven perceive a people or nation, only its essential nature. Indeed in heaven they have no knowledge at all of any historical detail in the Word about any person, nation, or people; consequently they have no knowledge of who Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, or the people of Israel are, nor of who the Jewish people are. Instead they perceive what is represented by Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the people of Israel, the Jewish people, and so on with everything else. This explains why angelic language has no limitations and is also a universal one compared with other languages.

Arcana Coelestia#5078

5078. 'And the baker' means among the things in the body which are subject to the will part. This is clear from the meaning of 'the baker' as the external or bodily senses which are subordinate or subject to the will part of the internal man. The reason 'the baker' has this meaning is that everything which serves as food or is consumed as such, for example, bread, solid foods in general, and anything made by a baker, has reference to good and so to the will; for all good feeds the will, just as every truth feeds the understanding, as stated immediately above in 5077. By 'bread' is meant what is celestial, or goodness, see 1798, 2165, 2177, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976.

[2] The reason why here and in the rest of this chapter external sensory powers of both kinds are dealt with in the internal sense is that the previous chapter dealt with how the Lord glorified or made Divine the interior aspects of His Natural, and therefore the present chapter deals with how the Lord glorified or made Divine the exterior aspects of that Natural. The exterior aspects of the natural are rightly called bodily ones, being both kinds of sensory powers of perception together with their recipient members and organs; for these recipients together with those powers make up that which is referred to as the body, see above in 5077. The Lord made Divine all that constituted His body, both its sensory Powers and their recipient members and organs, which also explains why He rose from the grave with His body, and after the Resurrection told His disciples,

See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; handle Me, and see; for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see Me have. Luke 24:39.

[3] Most people at the present day who belong to the Church believe that everyone is going to rise again on the last day and to do so at that time with his body. This supposition is so universal that scarcely anyone, because of what he is taught, believes anything different. But that supposition has gained strength because the natural man imagines that the body alone is the possessor of life. Consequently if he were not allowed to believe that this body is going to receive life once again he would refuse to believe in any resurrection at all. But the truth of the matter is that a person rises again immediately after death, at which point he seems to himself to be in his body just the same as when he was in the world, having a face and members, arms, hands, feet, breast, belly, and loins like the ones he had before. Indeed when he sees himself and touches himself he says he is exactly as he was in the world. However, that which he sees and touches is not his external which he carried round in the world but the internal which constituted the real person. That internal is what had life within it, but it had the external surrounding it, or outside every individual part of it, enabling it to exist in the world where it could act in the right way and carry out its functions.

[4] The actual earthly body is of no further use to him. He is in another world where he possesses other functions and other strengths and powers for which the kind of body he has there is suited. He sees that body with his own eyes - not the eyes he had in the world but those he now has in that other world. They are the eyes of his internal man, the ones he had used previously to see with through the eyes of his body and behold worldly and earthly objects. He also touches and feels that body - not with the hands or sense of touch he had been given in the world but with the hands and sense of touch which he is given in that other world and which had lain behind his sense of touch in the world. Furthermore each of the senses in that other world is keener and more perfect because it belongs to the internal man released from the external. The internal dwells in a greater state of perfection, because it is this that supplies sensory awareness to the external, though when it acts into the external, as it does in the world, that power is blunted and reduced. What is more, the sensory perception of the internal is a perception of what is internal, that of the external a perception of what is external. This being so, people can see one another after death, and they exist grouped together in communities on the basis of what they are inwardly like. In order to become quite sure of this I have been allowed to touch actual spirits and to talk to them many times on this subject, see 322, 1630, 4622.

[5] People after death - who are then called spirits or, if they have led good lives, angels - are utterly amazed at what the member of the Church believes about himself. For he believes that he will not see eternal life until the last day when the world is destroyed, and that at that time he will be reclothed with the dust that has been cast away; when yet one who belongs to the Church knows that he rises again after death. For who does not say, when someone dies, that his soul or spirit is in heaven, or in hell? Who does not say about his young children who have died that they are in heaven? Who does not comfort a person who is [incurably] sick or one who is condemned to death by saying that shortly he will enter the next life? And one who is in the throes of death and has been prepared for it does not believe anything different. Indeed such a conviction about a person's rising again after he has died is what leads many to claim that they have the power to release others from places of condemnation and to admit them into heaven, and to say masses for their souls. Is anyone unacquainted with what the Lord said to the robber, 'Today you will be with Me in paradise', Luke 23:43, or with what the Lord said about the rich man and Lazarus, that the former was carried off into hell, whereas the latter was taken by the angels into heaven, Luke 16:22-23? Or is anyone unacquainted with what the Lord taught about the resurrection when He said that God is not the God of the dead but of the living, Luke 20:38?

[6] A person acquainted with all this thinks in these ways and speaks in these ways when his spirit guides his thought and speech. But when his thought and speech are guided by what doctrine teaches that person says something entirely different, namely that he will not rise again Until the last day. But in fact each person's last day is at hand when he dies, and this is his time of judgement too, as many also declare. As to what is meant by 'being encompassed by my skin' and 'out of my flesh seeing God' in Job 19:25-26, see 3540 (end). These things were said so that people may know that no one rises again in the body that encompassed him in the world except the Lord alone. He did so because, while in the world, He glorified His body, that is, He made it Divine.
