1 Κατωκησε δε ο Ιακωβ εν τη γη, εν η παρωκησεν ο πατηρ αυτου, εν τη γη Χανααν.

2 Αυτη ειναι γενεαλογια του Ιακωβ. Ο Ιωσηφ, νεος ων ετων δεκαεπτα, εποιμαινε τα προβατα μετα των αδελφων αυτου, των υιων της Βαλλας και των υιων της Ζελφας, των γυναικων του πατρος αυτου· και ανεφερεν ο Ιωσηφ προς τον πατερα αυτων την κακην αυτων φημην.

3 Ο δε Ισραηλ ηγαπα τον Ιωσηφ υπερ παντας τους υιους αυτου, διοτι ητο υιος του γηρατος αυτου· και εκαμεν εις αυτον χιτωνα ποικιλοχρωμον.

4 Βλεποντες δε οι αδελφοι αυτου, οτι αυτον ηγαπα ο πατηρ αυτων υπερ παντας τους αδελφους αυτου, εμισησαν αυτον και δεν ηδυναντο να ομιλωσι προς αυτον ειρηνικως.

5 Ενυπνιασθεις δε ο Ιωσηφ ενυπνιον, διηγηθη αυτο εις τους αδελφους αυτου· και εμισησαν αυτον ετι μαλλον.

6 Και ειπε προς αυτους, Ακουσατε, παρακαλω, το ενυπνιον τουτο το οποιον ενυπνιασθην.

7 Ιδου, ημεις εδενομεν δεματια εν μεσω της πεδιαδος· και ιδου, εσηκωθη το ιδικον μου δεματιον και εσταθη ορθιον· και ιδου, τα ιδικα σας δεματια περιστραφεντα προσεκυνησαν το ιδικον μου δεματιον.

8 Ειπον δε προς αυτον οι αδελφοι αυτου, Βασιλευς θελεις γεινει εφ' ημας; η κυριος θελεις γεινει εις ημας; Και εμισησαν αυτον ετι μαλλον δια τα ενυπνια αυτου και δια τους λογους αυτου.

9 Ενυπνιασθη δε και αλλο ενυπνιον, και διηγηθη αυτο προς τους αδελφους αυτου· και ειπεν, Ιδου, ενυπνιασθην αλλο ενυπνιον· και ιδου, ο ηλιος και η σεληνη και ενδεκα αστερες με προσεκυνουν.

10 Και διηγηθη αυτο προς τον πατερα αυτου και προς τους αδελφους αυτου και επεπληξεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου και ειπε προς αυτον, Τι ειναι το ενυπνιον τουτο, το οποιον ενυπνιασθης; αραγε θελομεν ελθει, εγω και η μητηρ σου και οι αδελφοι σου, δια να σε προσκυνησωμεν εως εδαφους;

11 Και εφθονησαν αυτον οι αδελφοι αυτου· ο δε πατηρ αυτου εφυλαττε τον λογον.

12 Και υπηγαν οι αδελφοι αυτου να βοσκησωσι τα προβατα του πατρος αυτων εις Συχεμ.

13 Και ειπεν ο Ισραηλ προς τον Ιωσηφ, δεν βοσκουσιν οι αδελφοι σου εν Συχεμ; ελθε να σε στειλω προς αυτους. Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον, Ιδου, εγω.

14 Και ειπε προς αυτον, Υπαγε λοιπον να ιδης, αν ηναι καλα οι αδελφοι σου και καλα τα προβατα, και φερε μοι ειδησιν. Και απεστειλεν αυτον απο της κοιλαδος της Χεβρων· και ηλθεν εις Συχεμ.

15 Και ευρηκεν αυτον ανθρωπος τις, ενω περιεπλανατο εν τη πεδιαδι· και ηρωτησεν αυτον ο ανθρωπος, λεγων, Τι ζητεις;

16 Ο δε ειπε, τους αδελφους μου ζητω· ειπε μοι, παρακαλω, που βοσκουσι.

17 Και ειπεν ο ανθρωπος, Ανεχωρησαν απο εδω· διοτι ηκουσα αυτους λεγοντας, Ας υπαγωμεν εις Δωθαν. Και υπηγεν ο Ιωσηφ κατοπιν των αδελφων αυτου, και ευρηκεν αυτους εν Δωθαν.

18 Οι δε ιδοντες αυτον μακροθεν, πριν πλησιαση εις αυτους, συνεβουλευθησαν κατ' αυτου να φονευσωσιν αυτον.

19 Και ειπεν ο εις προς τον αλλον, Ιδου, ερχεται εκεινος ο κυριος των ενυπνιων·

20 ελθετε λοιπον τωρα και ας φονευσωμεν αυτον και ας ριψωμεν αυτον εις ενα εκ των λακκων· και θελομεν ειπει, Θηριον κακον κατεφαγεν αυτον· και θελομεν ιδει τι θελουσι γεινει τα ενυπνια αυτου.

21 Και ακουσας ο Ρουβην ηλευθερωσεν αυτον εκ των χειρων αυτων, λεγων, Ας μη βλαψωμεν αυτον εις την ζωην.

22 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ρουβην, Μη χυσητε αιμα· ριψατε αυτον εις τουτον τον λακκον, τον εν τη ερημω, και χειρα μη βαλητε επ' αυτον· δια να ελευθερωση αυτον εκ των χειρων αυτων, και να αποδωση αυτον εις τον πατερα αυτου.

23 Οτε λοιπον ηλθεν ο Ιωσηφ προς τους αδελφους αυτου, εξεδυσαν τον Ιωσηφ τον χιτωνα αυτου, τον χιτωνα τον ποικιλοχρωμον, τον επ' αυτον·

24 και λαβοντες αυτον, ερριψαν εις τον λακκον· ο δε λακκος ητο κενος· δεν ειχεν υδωρ.

25 Επειτα εκαθησαν να φαγωσιν αρτον, και αναβλεψαντες ειδον· και ιδου, συνοδια Ισμαηλιτων ηρχετο απο Γαλααδ μετα των καμηλων αυτων φορτωμενων αρωματα και βαλσαμον και μυρον, και επορευοντο να φερωσιν αυτα κατω εις την Αιγυπτον.

26 Και ειπεν ο Ιουδας προς τους αδελφους αυτου, Τις η ωφελεια, εαν φονευσωμεν τον αδελφον ημων και κρυψωμεν το αιμα αυτου;

27 ελθετε και ας πωλησωμεν αυτον εις τους Ισμαηλιτας· και ας μη βαλωμεν τας χειρας ημων επ' αυτον· διοτι αδελφος ημων, σαρξ ημων ειναι. Και υπηκουσαν οι αδελφοι αυτου.

28 Και ενω διεβαινον οι Μαδιανιται εμποροι, ανεσυραν και ανεβιβασαν τον Ιωσηφ εκ του λακκου και επωλησαν τον Ιωσηφ δια εικοσι αργυρια εις τους Ισμαηλιτας· οι δε εφεραν τον Ιωσηφ εις Αιγυπτον.

29 Επεστρεψε δε ο Ρουβην εις τον λακκον, και ιδου, ο Ιωσηφ δεν ητο εν τω λακκω· και διεσχισε τα ιματια αυτου.

30 Και επεστρεψε προς τους αδελφους αυτου, και ειπε, Το παιδιον δεν υπαρχει και εγω, εγω που να υπαγω;

31 Τοτε ελαβον τον χιτωνα του Ιωσηφ και εσφαξαν εριφιον εκ των αιγων, και εβαψαν τον χιτωνα εν τω αιματι·

32 και απεστειλαν τον χιτωνα τον ποικιλοχρωμον, και εφεραν αυτον προς τον πατερα αυτων και ειπον, Ευρηκαμεν τουτον· γνωρισον τωρα, αν ηναι ο χιτων του υιου σου η ουχι.

33 Ο δε εγνωρισεν αυτον και ειπε, Ο χιτων του υιου μου ειναι· θηριον κακον κατεφαγεν αυτον· ολος κατεσπαραχθη ο Ιωσηφ.

34 Και διεσχισεν ο Ιακωβ τα ιματια αυτου και εβαλε σακκον εις την οσφυν αυτου και επενθησε τον υιον αυτου ημερας πολλας.

35 Και εσηκωθησαν παντες οι υιοι αυτου και πασαι αι θυγατερες αυτου, δια να παρηγορησωσιν αυτον· αλλα δεν ηθελε να παρηγορηθη, λεγων, Οτι πενθων θελω καταβη προς τον υιον μου εις τον ταφον. Και εκλαυσεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου.

36 Οι δε Μαδιανιται επωλησαν αυτον εν τη Αιγυπτω εις τον Πετεφρην, αυλικον του Φαραω, αρχοντα των σωματοφυλακων.

4687. 'And behold, my sheaf arose and also stood up' means teaching concerning the Lord's Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'a sheaf' as doctrinal teaching, dealt with immediately above; and from the meaning of 'arising and standing up' as that which is the highest and is going to reign and which they are going to worship. The highest object of worship is the Lord's Divine Human, as is evident from the descriptions which follow: The eleven sheaves bowed down to that sheaf, and in the second dream the sun, moon, and eleven stars bowed down to Joseph (meaning that which is highest and is going to reign and which they are going to worship), on account of which dreams Jacob says, 'Are we indeed to come - I and your mother, and your brothers - to bow down to you to the earth?' The Lord's Divine Truth is that which is represented by 'Joseph', as stated above, the highest aspect of it being the Lord Himself, and the highest among matters of doctrine being that His Human is Divine.

[2] So far as this highest matter of doctrine is concerned, the Most Ancient Church, which was celestial and was called Man more so than all others, worshipped the Infinite Being (Esse) and the Infinite Manifestation (Existens) of that Being. And because they could not have any perception of an Infinite Being, yet could have - from what they could perceive in their internal man, what they could experience with their senses in their external man, and what was visible to them in the world - some perception of the Infinite Manifestation of the Infinite Being, they therefore worshipped the Infinite Manifestation which held the Infinite Being within it. That Infinite Manifestation holding the Infinite Being within it they perceived as a Divine Man. They did so because they knew that the Infinite Manifestation was brought forth from the Infinite Being by means of heaven. And because heaven is the Grand Man corresponding to every single part of the human being - as has been shown at the ends of chapters before this one and will be shown at the ends of several more coming after it they were unable to have through perception any other conception of the Infinite Manifestation of an Infinite Being than that of a Divine Man. For whatever passes from the Infinite Being by way of heaven as the Grand Man presents an image of that Being in every single thing. When that celestial Church started to fall they foresaw that that Infinite Manifestation could not continue any longer to come into people's minds and that this being so the human race would perish. For this reason they received by revelation the knowledge that One was to be born who would make Divine the Human within Himself and in this way an Infinite Manifestation like that which had existed previously would come about, and would at length be one with the Infinite Being as this had also been previously. From this arose their prophecy concerning the Lord contained in Genesis 3:15.

[3] This whole matter is described in John as follows,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us; and we beheld His glory as of the Only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:1-4, 14.

'The Word' is Divine Truth which in its Essence is the Infinite Manifestation of the Infinite Being, and is the Human of the Lord Himself. This Human is the source from which Divine truth now proceeds and flows into heaven, and through heaven into the minds of men. Consequently this Human rules and governs everything, even as it has done so from eternity; for it is one and the same with the Infinite being by virtue of His joining the Human to the Divine, which He effected by making even the Human within Him Divine. From this it may now be seen that the highest aspect of Divine truth is the Lord's Divine Human, and from this that the Church's highest matter of doctrine is that His Human is Divine.
