学习

   

1 Und Israel brach auf und alles, was er hatte, und kam nach Beerseba; und er opferte Schlachtopfer dem Gott seines Vaters Isaak.

2 Und Gott sprach zu Israel in den Gesichten der Nacht und sagte: Jakob! Jakob! Und er sprach: Hier bin ich.

3 Und er sprach: Ich bin Gott, der Gott deines Vaters; fürchte dich nicht, nach Ägypten hinabzuziehen; denn zu einer großen Nation will ich dich daselbst machen.

4 Ich will mit dir nach Ägypten hinabziehen, und ich will dich auch gewißlich heraufführen; und Joseph soll seine Hand auf deine Augen legen.

5 Da machte sich Jakob von Beerseba auf, und die Söhne Israels führten Jakob, ihren Vater, und ihre Kinder und ihre Weiber auf den Wagen, die der Pharao gesandt hatte, ihn zu holen.

6 Und sie nahmen ihr Vieh und ihre Habe, die sie im Lande Kanaan erworben hatten, und kamen nach Ägypten, Jakob und all sein Same mit ihm:

7 seine Söhne und die Söhne seiner Söhne mit ihm, seine Töchter und die Töchter seiner Söhne, und all seinen Samen brachte er mit sich nach Ägypten.

8 Und dies sind die Namen der Söhne Israels, die nach Ägypten kamen: Jakob und seine Söhne; der Erstgeborene Jakobs: Ruben.

9 Und die Söhne Rubens: Hanok und Pallu und Hezron und Karmi.

10 Und die Söhne Simeons: Jemuel und Jamin und Ohad und Jakin und Zochar und Saul, der Sohn der Kanaaniterin.

11 Und die Söhne Levis: Gerson, Kehath und Merari.

12 Und die Söhne Judas: Gher und Onan und Schela und Perez und Serach; Gher und Onan aber starben im Lande Kanaan. Und die Söhne des Perez waren Hezron und Hamul.

13 Und die Söhne Issaschars: Tola und Puwa und Job und Schimron.

14 Und die Söhne Sebulons: Sered und Elon und Jachleel.

15 Das sind die Söhne Leas, welche sie dem Jakob in Paddan-Aram gebar, und Dina, seine Tochter. Aller Seelen seiner Söhne und seiner Töchter waren dreiunddreißig. -

16 Und die Söhne Gads: Ziphjon und Haggi, Schuni und Ezbon, Eri und Arodi und Areli.

17 Und die Söhne Asers: Jimna und Jischwa und Jischwi und Beria, und Serach, ihre Schwester. Und die Söhne Berias: Heber und Malkiel.

18 Das sind die Söhne Silpas, die Laban seiner Tochter Lea gab; und sie gebar diese dem Jakob, sechzehn Seelen. -

19 Die Söhne Rahels, des Weibes Jakobs: Joseph und Benjamin.

20 Und dem Joseph wurden im Lande Ägypten Manasse und Ephraim geboren, welche Asnath ihm gebar, die Tochter Potipheras, des Priesters von On.

21 Und die Söhne Benjamins: Bela und Beker und Aschbel, Gera und Naaman, Echi und Rosch, Muppim und Huppim und Ard.

22 Das sind die Söhne Rahels, die dem Jakob geboren wurden; aller Seelen waren vierzehn. -

23 Und die Söhne Dans: Huschim.

24 Und die Söhne Naphtalis: Jachzeel und Guni und Jezer und Schillem.

25 Das sind die Söhne Bilhas, die Laban seiner Tochter Rahel gab; und sie gebar diese dem Jakob; aller Seelen waren sieben. -

26 Aller dem Jakob angehörenden Seelen, die nach Ägypten kamen, die aus seinen Lenden hervorgegangen waren, ausgenommen die Weiber der Söhne Jakobs, aller Seelen waren sechsundsechzig.

27 Und die Söhne Josephs, die ihm in Ägypten geboren wurden, waren zwei Seelen. Aller Seelen des Hauses Jakob, die nach Ägypten kamen, waren siebzig.

28 Und er sandte Juda vor sich hin zu Joseph, um vor ihm her zu weisen nach Gosen; und sie kamen in das Land Gosen.

29 Da spannte Joseph seinen Wagen an und zog hinauf, seinem Vater Israel entgegen nach Gosen; und als er seiner ansichtig wurde, fiel er ihm um den Hals und weinte lange an seinem Halse.

30 Und Israel sprach zu Joseph: Nunmehr mag ich sterben, nachdem ich dein Angesicht gesehen habe, daß du noch lebst!

31 Und Joseph sprach zu seinen Brüdern und zum Hause seines Vaters: Ich will hinaufziehen und dem Pharao berichten und zu ihm sagen: Meine Brüder und das Haus meines Vaters, die im Lande Kanaan waren, sind zu mir gekommen.

32 Und die Männer sind Schafhirten, denn sie haben Viehzucht getrieben; und sie haben ihr Kleinvieh und ihre Rinder und alles, was sie haben, mitgebracht.

33 Und geschieht es, daß der Pharao euch ruft und spricht: Was ist eure Hantierung?

34 so saget: Deine Knechte haben Viehzucht getrieben, von Jugend auf bis jetzt, sowohl wir als auch unsere Väter, auf daß ihr wohnen möget im Lande Gosen; denn alle Schafhirten sind den Ägyptern ein Greuel.

6040. 'And Joseph said to his brothers' means a perception by the truths in the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' as perception, dealt with often; from the representation of 'the sons of Israel' as spiritual truths within the natural, dealt with in 5414, 5879; and from the representation of 'Joseph' as the internal celestial, dealt with in 5869, 5877. From this it is evident that 'Joseph said to his brothers' means a perception by the truths in the natural which was received from the internal celestial. The reason 'Joseph said' does not mean a perception by him is that Joseph is the internal and all perception flows by way of the internal into the external or natural. By itself the natural does not perceive anything whatever but receives its perceptions from what is prior to itself. Yet what is prior does not perceive by itself but from what is yet prior to it, so that finally perception is received from the Lord, who has uncreated Being. Such is the nature of influx and consequently of perception. The situation with influx is like coming into being and remaining in being. Nothing comes into being by itself but from what is prior to itself, so that finally everything comes from Him who is First, that is, whose Being (Esse) and Manifestation (Existere) are uncreated. Everything is also kept in being by Him who is First, for the same applies to remaining in being as to coming into being, since remaining in being is constant coming into being.

[2] The reason why the expression 'a perception by the truths in the natural' is used and not a perception by people in possession of those truths is that spiritual language employs that kind of expression. For such a usage draws the ideas composing one's thought away from persons and fixes them on spiritual realities; and those realities, which are truths and forms of good, are what possess life in a person and cause him to have life. For those realities are derived from the Lord, the Source of life in its entirety. That kind of usage also leads one's mind away from ascribing truths and forms of good to a person. Such spiritual language also enables one to form an overall idea that extends further and wider than when the idea of a person is tied up with it. If for example one speaks of perception by people in possession of truths in the natural one's ideas become fixed at the same time on people like that - a common occurrence - and so one's ideas are drawn away from the overall idea, with the result that the light of truth is diminished. Furthermore, in the next life thought about persons disturbs such persons, for in that life all thought is communicated. These are the reasons why impersonal expressions like the one here - 'a perception by the truths in the natural' are used.

Genesis第47章

学习

   

1 Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers, with their flocks, their herds, and all that they own, have come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen."

2 From among his brothers he took five men, and presented them to Pharaoh.

3 Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" They said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, both we, and our fathers."

4 They said to Pharaoh, "We have come to live as foreigners in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants' flocks. For the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen."

5 Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, "Your father and your brothers have come to you.

6 The land of Egypt is before you. Make your father and your brothers dwell in the best of the land. Let them dwell in the land of Goshen. If you know any able men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock."

7 Joseph brought in Jacob, his father, and set him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

8 Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many are the days of the years of your life?"

9 Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The days of the years of my pilgrimage are one hundred thirty years. Few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage."

10 Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from the presence of Pharaoh.

11 Joseph placed his father and his brothers, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

12 Joseph nourished his father, his brothers, and all of his father's household, with bread, according to their families.

13 There was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.

14 Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.

15 When the money was all spent in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, "Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For our money fails."

16 Joseph said, "Give me your livestock; and I will Give you food for your livestock, if your money is gone."

17 They brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, and for the flocks, and for the herds, and for the donkeys: and he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock for that year.

18 When that year was ended, they came to him the second year, and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord how our money is all spent, and the herds of livestock are my lord's. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands.

19 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh. Give us seed, that we may live, and not die, and that the land won't be desolate."

20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe on them, and the land became Pharaoh's.

21 As for the people, he moved them to the cities from one end of the border of Egypt even to the other end of it.

22 Only he didn't buy the land of the priests, for the priests had a portion from Pharaoh, and ate their portion which Pharaoh gave them. That is why they didn't sell their land.

23 Then Joseph said to the people, "Behold, I have bought you and your land today for Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.

24 It will happen at the harvests, that you shall give a fifth to Pharaoh, and four parts will be your own, for seed of the field, for your food, for them of your households, and for food for your little ones."

25 They said, "You have saved our lives! Let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants."

26 Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. Only the land of the priests alone didn't become Pharaoh's.

27 Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they got themselves possessions therein, and were fruitful, and multiplied exceedingly.

28 Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob, the years of his life, were one hundred forty-seven years.

29 The time drew near that Israel must die, and he called his son Joseph, and said to him, "If now I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please don't bury me in Egypt,

30 but when I sleep with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their burying place." He said, "I will do as you have said."

31 He said, "Swear to me," and he swore to him. Israel bowed himself on the bed's head.
