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.

5236. 'And a Hebrew boy was there with us' means that owing to temptation the guiltlessness of the Church had been cast away there. This is clear from the meaning of 'a boy' as guiltlessness, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'Hebrew' as a person belonging to the Church, dealt with in 5136, thus some attribute of the Church. His having been cast away there owing to temptation is meant by the words 'was there', that is to say, in custody; for 'custody', in which Joseph had been placed, means a state of temptation, 5036, 5037, 5039, 5044, 5045, that state being the subject in Chapters 39, 40.

[2] The reason 'a boy' [or older 'child'] 1 means guiltlessness is that in the internal sense a young child means innocence. References are made in the Word to suckling, young child, and older child, by whom three degrees of innocence are meant, the first degree being meant by 'suckling', the second degree by 'young child', and the third by 'older child'. But because an older child is one who is beginning to lose his innocence, he therefore means the kind of innocence that is called guiltlessness. Because three degrees of innocence are meant by 'suckling', 'young child', and 'child', three degrees of love and charity are also meant by them, for the reason that celestial and spiritual love, which is love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour, can have no existence except within innocence. It should be recognized however that the innocence of sucklings, young children, and older ones is purely external and that no internal innocence exists with anyone until he has been born anew, that is, has so to speak become a suckling, young child, and older child once again. These are the states meant in the Word by these three, for the internal sense of the Word has only that which is spiritual as its meaning, and therefore has purely spiritual birth - called rebirth and also regeneration - as its meaning.

[3] The fact that the innocence called guiltlessness is meant by 'a child' is clear in Luke,

Jesus said, Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it. Luke 18:17.

'Receiving the kingdom of God like a child' means receiving charity and faith because of one's innocence In Mark,

Jesus took a child, set him in the midst of them and took him up in His arms. He said to them, Whoever takes up one of such children in My name is taking up Me. Mark 9:36-37; Luke 9:47-48.

'A child' here is a representation of innocence; anyone who takes this up is taking up the Lord because He is the Source from which every trace of innocence is derived. Anyone may see that 'taking up a child in the Lord's name' does not mean taking up a child, so that something heavenly is represented by such an action.

[4] In Matthew,

When the children in the temple cried out, Hosanna to the son of David, [the chief priests and scribes] were indignant. Therefore Jesus said to them, Have you not read that out of the mouth of young children and sucklings You have perfected praise? Matthew 21:15-16; Psalms 8:2.

The children's cry 'Hosanna to the son of David' was voiced so as to represent the truth that innocence alone acknowledges and accepts the Lord, that is, that those who have innocence within them do so. The words 'out of the mouth of young children and sucklings You have perfected praise' mean that there is no other path than innocence along which praise can go to the Lord. Along this path alone can any communication be established, any influx take place, or consequently any approach be made. This is why the Lord says, in the same gospel,

Unless you are converted and become as children you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3.

[5] In the following places too 'a boy' [or 'a child'] means innocence: In Zechariah,

The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets. Zechariah 8:5.

This refers to a new Jerusalem, or the Lord's kingdom. In David.

Praise Jehovah, Young men and also virgins, old men and children. Psalms 148:12

In the same author,

Jehovah redeems 2 Your life from the pit. He satisfies your mouth with what is good, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. 3 Psalms 103:4-5.

In Joel,

Over My people they have cast lots, for they have given a boy for a harlot and have sold a girl for wine which they have drunk. Joel 3:3.

In Jeremiah,

I will scatter throughout you man and woman, and I will scatter throughout you old man and boy, and I will scatter throughout you young man and virgin. Jeremiah 51:12.

In Isaiah,

To us a boy is born, to us a son is given, upon whose shoulder is the government; and He will call His name, Wonderful, Counsellor, God, Hero, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6.

脚注:

1. The Latin word puer used for a boy may also be used to mean simply a child, male or female, as in several places in the remainder of this paragraph.

2. The Latin means renews, but the Hebrew means redeems, which Swedenborg has in another place where he quotes this verse.

3. literally, so that you are renewed like the eagle with your childhood

5036. 'And committed him to the prison-house' means involving false-speaking against good. This is clear from the meaning of 'being committed to the prison-house' and 'being kept bound there' as being subjected to temptations involving false-speaking against good, dealt with below. But first of all something must be said about temptations. At the present day scarcely anyone in the Christian world knows where temptations originate. Those who undergo them do not believe them to be anything more than the feelings of anguish which creep in because of the evils residing inwardly with a person, which first make him uneasy, then fill him with anxiety, and finally torment him. But he is totally unaware of the fact that they are the work of the evil spirits present with him. The reason he is unaware that this is so is that he does not believe he is in the company of spirits while he is living in the world; indeed he has scarcely any belief that any spirit at all is present with him, when in fact a person, so far as his interiors are concerned, exists in constant association with spirits and angels.

[2] As for temptations themselves, they are going on while a person is in the actual process of being regenerated, for no one can be regenerated unless he also undergoes temptations; and the evil spirits around him are the means through which those temptations are brought about. In temptation the person is brought into a state in which the evil that possesses him, that is, possesses his own essential self, is dominant. Once he enters this state evil and hellish spirits surround him, and when they realize that inwardly he is protected by angels those evil spirits reactivate the false ideas he has previously contemplated and the evil deeds he has committed. But the angels defend him from within. This conflict is what the person experiences as temptation, yet the experience is so vague that he is aware of it as scarcely anything more than a feeling of anxiety. For a person, especially one who has no belief at all in influx, dwells in a state of complete obscurity and discerns scarcely the smallest fraction of the things over which evil spirits and angels are engaged in conflict. Yet a battle is taking place at such a time over that person and his eternal salvation, with both sides using what is within him; for both draw on what resides with the person and engage in conflict over it. The truth of this I have been led most certainly to know. I have heard such conflict going on, I have perceived the influx taking place, and I have seen the spirits and the angels, to whom I spoke at the time and subsequently about what was happening.

[3] As stated, temptations arise primarily when a person is becoming spiritual, for at that time he is gaining a spiritual understanding of the truths of doctrine. The person himself is often unaware that this is happening; even so, the angels present with him see spiritual concerns within his natural ones since his interiors at this time are open towards heaven. (This also explains why, after living in the world, a person who has been regenerated is among angels, where he both sees and perceives the spiritual concerns which had previously appeared to him as natural ones.) When therefore a person is such as this, it is possible for the angels to defend him in temptation when he is assailed by evil spirits; for the angels then have a place that has been established in him into which they can operate; that is, they can flow into the spiritual level established in him, and through this into that which is natural.

[4] Once therefore outermost truth has been removed, with the result that the person does not possess anything to protect himself from those who are natural, dealt with in 5006, 5008, 5009, 5022, 5028, he enters into temptations in which evil spirits, all of whom are wholly natural, make accusations against him, especially that of false-speaking against good. They say, for example, that he has thought and said that good should be done to the neighbour and has also given proof of this in his actions, yet by the neighbour he now means only those with whom good and truth are present, not those with whom evil and falsity are present and who are incapable of receiving correction. Consequently, because he is no longer willing to do good to the evil, apart from punishing them so as to correct them and to protect his neighbour from what is evil, they accuse him of having thought and spoken what was false and of not thinking as he speaks.

[5] Take another example. Because a person, once he has become spiritual, no longer believes it to be a holy and godly act to give to monasteries or even churches where great wealth exists, and because prior to his becoming spiritual he had thought it a holy and godly thing to do, those spirits accuse him of falsity. They reactivate all the thoughts he had cherished previously about such holy and godly giving, as well as all his actual deeds resulting from that way of thinking. Those spirits make similar accusations in countless other instances which these examples serve merely to illustrate somewhat. In particular those spirits enter the affections which the person possessed previously and reactivate these, reactivating also the falsities and evils which he had thought and committed, and in this way they fill him with anxiety and quite often with doubt extending to the point of despair.

[6] Such then is the origin of spiritual kinds of anxiety and of those feelings called the pangs of conscience. What makes these appear to exist essentially within himself is influx and communication. Anyone who knows and believes this may be compared to a person who sees himself in a mirror but knows that it is not he himself who appears in the mirror or on the other side of it, only his image, whereas anyone who does not know and believe this may be compared to a person who sees himself in the mirror and supposes that he himself, not his image, appears there.
