1 Προσεταξε δε τον επιστατην της οικιας αυτου λεγων, Γεμισον τα σακκια των ανθρωπων τροφας, οσας δυνανται να φερωσι, και βαλε το αργυριον εκαστου εν τω στοματι του σακκιου αυτου·

2 και βαλε το ποτηριον μου, το ποτηριον το αργυρουν, εν τω στοματι του σακκιου του νεωτερου και το αργυριον του σιτου αυτου. Και εκαμε κατα τον λογον τον οποιον ειπεν ο Ιωσηφ.

3 Το πρωι καθως εφεγξεν, απεσταλησαν οι ανθρωποι, αυτοι και οι ονοι αυτων.

4 Αφου δε εξηλθον εκ της πολεως, πριν απομακρυνθωσι πολυ, ειπεν ο Ιωσηφ προς τον επιστατην της οικιας αυτου, Σηκωθεις, δραμε κατοπιν των ανθρωπων· και προφθασας ειπε προς αυτους, δια τι ανταπεδωκατε κακον αντι καλου;

5 δεν ειναι τουτο το ποτηριον, εις το οποιον πινει ο κυριος μου, και δια του οποιου αληθως μαντευει; κακως εκαμετε πραξαντες τουτο.

6 Και καθως επροφθασεν αυτους, ειπε προς αυτους τους λογους τουτους.

7 Οι δε ειπον προς αυτον, Δια τι ο κυριος ημων λαλει κατα τους λογους τουτους; μη γενοιτο οι δουλοι σου να πραξωσι τοιουτον πραγμα·

8 ιδου, το αργυριον, το οποιον ευρηκαμεν εν τω στοματι των σακκιων ημων, επεστρεψαμεν προς σε εκ της γης Χανααν, και πως ηθελομεν κλεψει εκ της οικιας του κυριου σου αργυριον η χρυσιον;

9 εις οντινα εκ των δουλων σου ευρεθη, ας αποθανη, και ημεις ετι θελομεν γεινει δουλοι του κυριου ημων.

10 Ο δε ειπε, Και τωρα ας γεινη καθως λεγετε· εις οντινα ευρεθη, θελει γεινει δουλος μου, σεις δε θελετε εισθαι αθωοι.

11 Και σπευσαντες, κατεβιβασαν εκαστος το σακκιον αυτου εις την γην και ηνοιξεν εκαστος το σακκιον αυτου.

12 Και ηρευνησεν, αρχισας απο του πρεσβυτερου και τελειωσας εις τον νεωτερον· και ευρεθη το ποτηριον εν τω σακκιω του Βενιαμιν.

13 Τοτε εσχισαν τα ιματια αυτων και φορτωσαντες εκαστος τον ονον αυτου, επεστρεψαν εις την πολιν.

14 Εισηλθε δε ο Ιουδας και οι αδελφοι αυτου εις την οικιαν του Ιωσηφ, ετι αυτου οντος εκει· και επεσαν εμπροσθεν αυτου επι την γην.

15 Και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιωσηφ, Τι ειναι το πραγμα τουτο, το οποιον επραξατε; δεν εξευρετε οτι ανθρωπος οποιος εγω αληθως μαντευει;

16 Και ειπεν ο Ιουδας, Τι να ειπωμεν προς τον κυριον μου; τι να λαλησωμεν; η πως να δικαιωθωμεν; ο Θεος ευρηκε την αδικιαν των δουλων σου· ιδου, ειμεθα δουλοι του κυριου μου και εμεις και εκεινος εις τον οποιον ευρεθη το ποτηριον.

17 Ο δε ειπε, Μη γενοιτο εις εμε να πραξω τουτο· ο ανθρωπος εις τον οποιον ευρεθη το ποτηριον, ουτος θελει εισθαι εις εμε δουλος· σεις δε αναβητε εν ειρηνη προς τον πατερα σας.

18 Τοτε επλησιασεν εις αυτον ο Ιουδας και ειπε, Δεομαι, κυριε μου· ας λαληση, παρακαλω, ο δουλος σου λογον εις τα ωτα του κυριου μου και ας μη εξαφθη ο θυμος σου κατα του δουλου σου· διοτι συ εισαι ως Φαραω.

19 Ο κυριος μου ηρωτησε τους δουλους αυτου λεγων, Εχετε πατερα, η αδελφον;

20 Και ειπομεν προς τον κυριον μου, Εχομεν πατερα γεροντα και παιδιον του γηρατος αυτου μικρον, ο δε αδελφος αυτου απεθανε· και αυτος μονος εμεινεν εκ της μητρος αυτου και ο πατηρ αυτου αγαπα αυτον.

21 Και ειπας προς τους δουλους σου, Φερετε αυτον προς εμε δια να ιδω αυτον ιδιοις οφθαλμοις.

22 Και ειπομεν προς τον κυριον μου, το παιδιον δεν δυναται να αφηση τον πατερα αυτου διοτι εαν αφηση τον πατερα αυτου, ουτος θελει αποθανει.

23 Συ δε ειπας προς τους δουλους σου, Εαν δεν καταβη ο αδελφος υμων ο νεωτερος μεθ' υμων, δεν θελετε ιδει πλεον το προσωπον μου.

24 Και οτε ανεβημεν προς τον δουλον σου τον πατερα μου, απηγγειλαμεν προς αυτον τους λογους του κυριου μου.

25 Ο δε πατηρ ημων ειπεν, Υπαγετε παλιν, αγορασατε εις ημας ολιγας τροφας.

26 Και ειπομεν, Δεν δυναμε0α να καταβωμεν· εαν ο αδελφος ημων ο νεωτερος ηναι μεθ' ημων, τοτε θελομεν καταβη· διοτι δεν δυναμεθα να ιδωμεν το προσωπον του ανθρωπου, εαν ο αδελφος ημων ο νεωτερος δεν ηναι μεθ' ημων.

27 Και ο δουλος σου ο πατηρ μου ειπε προς ημας, Σεις εξευρετε οτι δυο υιους εγεννησεν εις εμε η γυνη μου·

28 και ο εις εξηλθεν απο πλησιον μου και ειπα, Βεβαιως κατεσπαραχθη υπο θηριου· και δεν ειδον αυτον εως του νυν·

29 εαν δε λαβητε και τουτον απ' εμπροσθεν μου και συμβη εις αυτον συμφορα, θελετε καταβιβασει την πολιαν μου μετα λυπης εις τον ταφον.

30 Τωρα λοιπον οταν υπαγω προς τον δουλον σου τον πατερα μου, και το παιδιον δεν ηναι μεθ' ημων επειδη η ψυχη αυτου κρεμαται εκ της ψυχης εκεινου,

31 καθως ιδη οτι το παιδιον δεν ειναι, θελει αποθανει και οι δουλοι σου θελουσι καταβιβασει την πολιαν του δουλου σου του πατρος ημων μετα λυπης εις τον ταφον.

32 Διοτι ο δουλος σου εγγυηθη περι του παιδιου προς τον πατερα μου λεγων, Εαν δεν φερω αυτον προς σε, τοτε θελω εισθαι υπευθυνος προς τον πατερα μου διαπαντος.

33 Τωρα λοιπον, δεομαι σου, ας μεινη ο δουλος σου αντι του παιδιου δουλος εις τον κυριον μου, το δε παιδιον ας αναβη μετα των αδελφων αυτου·

34 διοτι πως να αναβω προς τον πατερα μου, εαν το παιδιον δεν ηναι μετ' εμου; ουχι, δια να μη ιδω το κακον, το οποιον θελει ευρει τον πατερα μου.

5805. 'And his brother is dead' means that internal good does not exist. This is clear from the representation of 'Joseph' as the celestial of the spiritual, dealt with in 4592, 4963, 5249, 5307, 5331, 5332, thus internal good since this is the same as the celestial of the spiritual; and from the meaning of 'being dead' as existing no more, dealt with in 494. There is this difference between the representation of 'Joseph' as internal good and the representation of 'Israel' as spiritual good: 'Joseph' is internal good springing from the rational, whereas 'Israel' is internal good springing from the natural, see 4286. This difference is like that between celestial good, or the good which is that of the celestial Church, and spiritual good, or the good which is that of the spiritual Church. These two kinds of good have been dealt with quite often in what has gone before. It is the first kind of internal good - celestial good - that is said to be non-existent there, which is meant by 'his brother is dead'.

Arcana Coelestia#3960

3960. 'And Leah said, God has endowed me with a good dowry; once again my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons' in the highest sense means the Lord's Divine itself and His Divine Human, in the internal sense the heavenly marriage, and in the external sense conjugial love. This is clear from the meaning of 'dwelling together' and also from all the other words which Leah uttered at this point. The reason why 'dwelling together' in the highest sense means the Lord's Divine itself and His Divine Human is that the Divine itself, and the Father, exists mutually and reciprocally within the Divine Human, termed the Son of God, according to the words of the Lord Himself in John,

Jesus said, Philip, he who has seen Me has seen the Father. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me. John 14:9-11; 10:38.

This union is the Divine Marriage itself, see 3211, 3952. That union is not however a dwelling together, though it is expressed as such in the sense of the letter. For things which are one present themselves in the sense of the letter as two - as the Father and the Son - or even as three, as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They do so for many reasons which will in the Lord's Divine mercy be discussed elsewhere.

[2] Here also lies the reason why 'dwelling together' in the internal sense means the heavenly marriage, for it is from the Divine Marriage - the union of the Father and the Son, that is, of the Lord's Divine itself with His Divine Human - that the heavenly marriage comes into being. The heavenly marriage exists as that which is called the Lord's kingdom and also heaven, and it is so called because it comes into being from the Divine Marriage, which is the Lord. This then is what is meant in the internal sense by 'dwelling together', and is also the reason why heaven is called God's dwelling-place, as in Isaiah,

Look out from heaven, and see from the dwelling-place of Your holiness and of Your glory. Where are Your zeal and Your might? The yearning of Your loins, and Your compassion 1 towards me have held themselves back. Isaiah 63:15.

'The dwelling-place of holiness' stands for the celestial kingdom, and

'The dwelling-place of glory' for the spiritual kingdom. 'Dwelling-place' used here in Isaiah is derived from the same word as 'dwelling together' and 'Zebulun' are derived.

[3] The reason why 'dwelling together' in the external sense means conjugial love is that all genuine conjugial love has its origin nowhere else than in the heavenly marriage, which is a marriage of good and truth, and this in turn has its origin in the Divine Marriage, which is that of the Lord's Divine itself and His Divine Human. See what has been stated already on these matters in the following places:

The heavenly marriage descends from Divine Good present within the Lord, and from Divine Truth proceeding from Him, 2508, 2618, 2803, 3132.

This marriage is the origin of conjugial love, 2728, 2729.

People who live in genuine conjugial love are dwelling together in the inmost things of life, 2732, and so in love for good and truth since these constitute the inmost things of life.

Conjugial love is the fundamental love of all loves, 2737-2739.

The marriage of good and truth exists in heaven, in the Church, with every member of heaven and the Church, and in every individual thing within the natural order, 718, 747, 917, 1432, 2173, 2516, 2712, 2758; it exists in every detail of the Word, 683, 793, 801, 2516, 2712; and so in the highest sense it is the Lord Himself.

The names Jesus Christ mean the Divine Marriage, 3004.

[4] These are the things meant not only by 'dwelling together', that is, by the words 'once again my husband will dwell with me' but also by those preceding them, 'God has endowed me with a good dowry'. The former however means the truth of good whereas the latter means the good of truth, for these two constitute the heavenly marriage. And because this is a conclusion the statement 'because I have borne him six sons' is added; for 'six' here is similar in meaning to twelve. In the Word half a number, or twice that number, has the same meaning as the number itself when the subject is similar.
