1 Іаковъ видя, что въ Египтј есть продажа хлјба, сказалъ сыновьямъ своимъ: что вы смотрите другъ на друга?

2 И сказалъ: вотъ, я слышалъ, что въ Египтј есть продажа хлјба; подите туда и купите намъ оттуда, чтобы намъ пропитаться и не умереть.

3 Десять братьевъ Іосифовыхъ пошли въ Египетъ купить хлјба.

4 А Веніамина, брата Іосифова, не послалъ Іаковъ съ братьями его, ибо сказалъ: не случилось бы съ нимъ бјды.

5 Такимъ образомъ сыны Израилевы пришли покупать, съ другими туда пришедшими. Ибо въ землј Ханаанской былъ голодъ.

6 Іосифъ же былъ начальникомъ въ землј той; онъ продавалъ хлјбъ всему народу земли. Братья Іосифовы пришли, и поклонились ему лицомъ до земли.

7 Іосифъ, увидя братьевъ своихъ, узналъ ихъ; но показалъ, будто не знаетъ ихъ, и обошелся съ ними сурово; и спросилъ ихъ: откуда вы пришли? Они сказали: изъ земли Ханаанской купить хлјба.

8 Іосифъ узналъ братьевъ своихъ; но они его не узнали.

9 Тогда вспомнилъ Іосифъ сны, которые онъ видјлъ о нихъ, и сказалъ имъ: вы соглядатаи; вы пришли смотрјть наготу земли.

10 Они отвјчали ему: нјтъ, господинъ мой, рабы твои пришли купить хлјба.

11 Мы всј дјти одного человјка; мы всј люди честные, рабы твои, никогда не были соглядатаями.

12 Но онъ сказалъ: нјтъ, вы пришли смотрјть наготу земли.

13 Они сказали: насъ, рабовъ твоихъ, двјнадцать братьевъ; мы сыновья одного человјка, въ землј Ханаанской; и вотъ меньшій теперь съ отцемъ нашимъ, а одного не стало.

14 Тогда Іосифъ сказалъ имъ: точно такъ, какъ я сказалъ вамъ: вы соглядатаи.

15 Вотъ, какъ вы будете испытаны: клянусъ жизнію Фараона, что вы не выйдете отсюда, если не придетъ сюда меньшій братъ вашъ.

16 Пошлите одного изъ васъ, который бы привелъ брата вашего; между тјмъ вы будете задержаны. Такимъ образомъ откроется, правду ли вы говорите, и если нјтъ, то клянусъ жизнію Фараона, что вы соглядатаи.

17 И отдалъ ихъ подъ стражу на три дня.

18 Но на третій день Іосифъ сказалъ имъ: вотъ что сдјлайте, и останетесь живы; я боюсь Бога.

19 Если вы люди честные, то одинъ братъ изъ васъ пусть содержится въ домј, гдј вы заключены; а прочіе подите, отвезите хлјбъ для сохраненія отъ голода домовъ вашихъ.

20 Брата же вашего меньшаго приведите ко мнј, чтобы оправдать ваши слова; тогда вы останетесь живы. Такъ они и сдјлали.

21 Между тјмъ они говорили другъ другу: точно, мы наказываемся за грјхъ противъ брата нашего, мы видјли скорбь души его, когда онъ умолялъ насъ, но не слушали; за то постигла насъ скорбь сія.

22 Рувимъ же, отвјтствуя имъ, сказалъ: не уговаривалъ ли я васъ, говоря: не грјшите противъ отрока? но вы не послушались. Вотъ, теперь кровь его взыскивается.

23 А того не знали они, что Іосифъ понимаетъ; ибо между ними былъ переводчикъ.

24 И отворотился отъ нихъ Іосифъ, и плакалъ. Потомъ, оборотясь къ нимъ, говорилъ съ ними, взялъ изъ нихъ Семеона, и связалъ его предъ глазами ихъ.

25 И приказалъ Іосифъ наполнить мјшки ихъ хлјбомъ, а серебро ихъ возвратить каждому въ мјшокъ его, и дать имъ запасовъ на дорогу. Такъ и поступилъ онъ съ ними.

26 Они положили хлјбъ свой на ословъ своихъ, и пошли оттуда.

27 На ночлегј одинъ изъ нихъ открылъ мјшокъ свой, чтобы дать корму ослу своему, и увидјлъ серебро свое; вотъ, оно въ самомъ отверстіи мјшка его.

28 Онъ сказалъ своимъ братьямъ: серебро мое возвращено; вотъ оно въ мјшкј у меня. Тогда вострепетало сердце у нихъ, и они въ изумленіи говорили другъ другу: что это Богъ сдјлалъ съ нами?

29 Когда же пришли къ Іакову, отцу своему, въ землю Ханаанскую; то разсказали ему все случившееся съ ними, говоря:

30 начальствующій надъ тою землею обошелся оъ нами сурово, и счелъ насъ за согладатаевъ земли той.

31 Мы сказали ему, что мы люди честные, что мы не бывали соглядатаями;

32 что мы братья; что насъ двјнадцать сыновъ у отца нашего; что одного не стало, а меньшій теперь съ отцемъ нашимъ въ землј Ханаанской.

33 На сіе начальствующій надъ тою землей сказалъ намъ: вотъ, какъ узнаю я, честные ли вы люди. Оставьте у меня одного брата изъ васъ, а вы возьмите хлјбъ на пропитаніе домовъ вашихъ, и подите.

34 И приведите ко мнј меньшаго брата вашего, тогда удостовјрюсь я, что вы не соглядатаи, но люди честные; отдамъ вамъ брата вашего, и вы можете торговать въ этой землј.

35 Когда же они стали высыпать мјшки свои, оказалось, что у каждаго узелъ серебра его былъ въ мјшкј его. Увидјвъ узлы серебра своего, и они и отецъ ихъ ужаснулись.

36 И сказалъ имъ Іаковъ, отецъ ихъ: вы лишили меня дјтей. Іосифа нјтъ; и Симеона нјтъ; и Веніамина взять хотите. Все это на мою бјду!

37 На сіе Рувимъ отвјтствовалъ отцу своему, говоря: убей двухъ моихъ сыновъ, если я не приведу его къ тебј, отдай его на мои руки; я возвращу его къ тебј.

38 Онъ сказалъ: не пойдетъ сынъ мой съ вами, потому что братъ его умеръ, и онъ одинъ остался. Если случится съ нимъ несчастіе на пути, въ который вы пойдете, то вы сведете сјдину мою съ печалію въ шеолъ.

5397. Genesis 42

1. And Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt; and Jacob said to his sons, Why do you look at one another?

2. And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt; go down there, and buy for us from there, and let us live and not die.

3. And Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt.

4. And Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob did not send with his brothers, for he said, Perhaps harm may come to him.

5. And the sons of Israel came to buy in the midst of others who came; for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

6. And Joseph, he was the governor over the land, he was selling to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came and bowed down to him, faces to the earth.

7. And Joseph saw his brothers, and recognized them; and he acted as a stranger to them, and spoke hard words to them, and said to them, Where have you come from? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to buy food.

8. And Joseph recognized his brothers, and they did not recognize him.

9. And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed involving them; and he said to them, You are spies; you have come to see the nakedness of the land.

10. And they said to him, No, my lord; and your servants come to buy food.

11. All we, the sons of one man are we. We are upright men; your servants are not spies.

12. And he said to them, No, but the nakedness of the land you have come to see.

13. And they said, Twelve are your servants, brothers are we, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is with our father today, and one is not.

14. And Joseph said to them, It is as I spoke to you, saying, You are spies.

15. In this manner you will be tested: As sure as Pharaoh lives, 1 you shall not go out of here unless your youngest brother comes here.

16. Send one of you and let him fetch your brother; and you will be in bonds, and your words will be tested, whether the truth is with you. And if not, as sure as Pharaoh lives, 1 you are spies.

17. And he shut them up in custody for three days.

18. And Joseph said to them on the third day, Do this and you will live, [for] I fear God:

19. If you are upright men, let one brother among you be in bonds in the house of your custody, and you, go, take corn for the famine of your houses.

20. And bring your youngest brother to me, and your words will be verified, and you will not die. And they did so.

21. And they said, a man to his brother, Assuredly we are guilty concerning our brother, whose anguish of soul we saw when he pleaded with us and we did not hear; therefore this anguish has come to us.

22. And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not say to you, saying, Do not sin against the boy - and you did not listen? And also, his blood; behold, it is required.

23. And they did not know that Joseph was hearing, because the interpreter was between them.

24. And he turned away from them and wept; and he came back to them and spoke to them; and he took Simeon from them, and bound him before their eyes.

25. And Joseph gave the command to fill 2 their vessels with grain, and to restore their silver, each man's in his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and thus he did for them.

26. And they loaded their corn onto their asses, and went from there.

27. And one opened his sack to give fodder to his ass, in a lodging-place, and he saw his silver, and behold, it was in the mouth of his pouch.

28. And he said to his brothers, My silver has been restored, and also behold, it is in my pouch. And their heart went out of them, and they trembled [turning] a man to his brother, saying, What is this that God has done to us?

29. And they came to Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan; and they pointed out to him all that was happening to them, saying,

30. The man, the lord of the land, spoke hard words to us, and took us for men spying out the land.

31. And we said to him, We are upright men; we are not spies.

32. Twelve are we, brothers, the sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is today with our father in the land of Canaan.

33. And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, By this I shall know that you are upright men: Cause one brother among you to remain with me, and take [food for] the famine of your houses, and go.

34. And bring your youngest brother to me, and I shall know that you are not spies, that you are upright men; I will give you your brother, and you will wander through the land, trading.

35. And so it was, as they were emptying their sacks, that behold, each man's bundle of silver was in his sack; and they saw their bundles of silver, they and their father, and they were afraid.

36. And Jacob their father said to them, You have bereaved me [of my children]; Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and you take Benjamin. All these things will be upon me.

37. And Reuben said to his father - he said, Make my two sons die if I do not bring him back to you; give him into my hand, and I will bring him back to you.

38. And he said, My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he, he alone, is left. And should harm happen to him on the road on which you go, you will cause my grey hair to go down in sorrow to the grave.

CONTENTS

3 The subject at the end of the previous chapter was the influx of the celestial of the spiritual into the known facts present in the natural and the joining of it to these. Now the subject is the influx of the celestial of the spiritual into the truths of faith there which are known to the Church and the joining of it to those truths. Dealt with first is the attempt to gain possession of these truths through the facts known to the Church, which are 'Egypt', and to do so without the intermediary, which is 'Benjamin', along with truth from the Divine, which is 'Joseph'. But this was a failure, and therefore they were returned to where they came from, together with a measure of the good of natural truth freely given.

脚注:

1. literally, May Pharaoh live!

2. literally, And Joseph commanded, and they [his servants?] filled
