1 Tada Josif pade na lice ocu svom, i plaka nad njim celujući ga.

2 I zapovedi Josif slugama svojim lekarima da mirisima pomažu oca njegovog; i lekari pomazaše mirisima Izrailja.

3 I navrši mu se četrdeset dana, jer toliko dana treba onim koje pomažu mirisima; i plakaše za njim Misirci sedamdeset dana.

4 A kad prođoše žalosni dani, reče Josif domašnjima Faraonovim govoreći: Ako sam našao milost pred vama, govorite Faraonu i recite:

5 Otac me je moj zakleo govoreći: Evo, ja ću skoro umreti; u grobu mom, koji iskopah u zemlji hananskoj, onde me pogrebi. Pa sada da idem da pogrebem oca svog, a posle ću opet doći.

6 A Faraon mu reče: Idi, pogrebi oca svog kako te je zakleo.

7 I otide Josif da pogrebe oca svog; i s njim pođoše sve sluge Faraonove, starešine od doma njegovog i sve starešine od zemlje misirske.

8 I sav dom Josifov i braća njegova i dom oca njegovog; samo decu svoju i ovce svoje i goveda svoja ostaviše u zemlji gesemskoj.

9 A pođe s njim kola i konjanika toliko da beše vojska vrlo velika.

10 A kad dođoše na gumno Atadovo, koje je s one strane Jordana, plakaše onde mnogo i vrlo tužno; i Josif učini žalost za ocem svojim za sedam dana.

11 A ljudi iz one zemlje, Hananejci, kad videše plač na gumnu Atadovom, rekoše: U velikoj su žalosti Misirci. Zato prozvaše ono mesto s one strane Jordana Žalost misirska.

12 I učiniše mu sinovi njegovi kako im beše zapovedio.

13 Odnesoše ga sinovi njegovi u zemlju hanansku, i pogreboše ga u pećini na njivi makpelskoj, koju kupi Avram da ima svoj grob u Efrona Hetejina prema Mamriji.

14 I pogrebavši oca svog vrati se Josif u Misir i braća njegova i svi koji behu izašli s njim da pogrebu oca njegovog.

15 A braća Josifova videći gde im otac umre, rekoše: Može biti da se Josif srdi na nas, pa će nam se osvetiti za sve zlo što mu učinismo.

16 Zato poručiše Josifu: Otac tvoj zapovedi na samrti i reče:

17 Ovako kažite Josifu: Molim te, oprosti braći svojoj bezakonje i greh, što ti pakostiše; sada oprosti bezakonje slugama Boga oca tvog. A Josif zaplaka se kad mu to rekoše.

18 Posle dođoše i braća njegova i padoše pred njim i rekoše: Evo smo sluge tvoje.

19 A Josif im reče: Ne bojte se, zar sam ja mesto Boga?

20 Vi ste mislili zlo po me, ali je Bog mislio dobro, da učini šta se danas zbiva, da se sačuva u životu mnogi narod.

21 Ne bojte se dakle; ja ću hraniti vas i vašu decu. Tako ih uteši i oslobodi.

22 Tako življaše Josif u Misiru s domom oca svog, i požive sto i deset godina.

23 I vide Josif sinove Jefremove do trećeg kolena; i sinovi Mahira sina Manasijinog rodiše se i odrastoše na kolenima Josifovim.

24 I reče Josif braći svojoj: Ja ću skoro umreti; ali će vas zacelo Bog pohoditi, i izvešće vas iz ove zemlje u zemlju za koju se zakleo Avramu, Isaku i Jakovu.

25 I zakle Josif sinove Izrailjeve i reče: Zaista će vas pohoditi Bog; a vi onda odnesite kosti moje odavde.

26 Potom umre Josif, a beše mu sto i deset godina; i pomazavši ga mirisima metnuše ga u kovčeg u Misiru.

6545. 'And his sons did for him thus, as he had commanded them means action taken in compliance with influx. This is clear from the meaning of 'did' as action taken; and from the meaning of 'commanding' as influx, dealt with in 5486, 5732.

5732. 'And he commanded the one who was over his house, saying' means an influx from itself. This is clear from the meaning of 'commanding as an influx, dealt with in 5486, and from the meaning of 'the one who was over his house' as the one who was to serve as communicator. The fact that the influx came from itself - from the internal celestial man, which 'Joseph' represents - is self-evident. The reason why 'commanding' means influx is that no one in heaven is given commands or orders. On the contrary one shares his thoughts and the other freely acts in accordance with them. The communication of thought, together with a desire to see something put into effect, is influx; and on the part of the receiver it is perception, which is why 'commanding' also means perception, 3661, 3682.

[2] Furthermore those in heaven not only think but also talk to one another - about those things that are matters of wisdom. Yet there is not in what they say any trace of an order given to another; for no one wishes to be the master and consequently regard another as his slave. Rather, each wishes to minister and be of service to another. From this one may see what form of government exists in heaven, the form described by the Lord in Matthew,

It shall not be so among you, but whoever has the wish to become great among you must be your minister, and whoever has the wish to be first must be your servant. Matthew 20:26-27.

And in the same gospel,

He who is the greatest of you shall be your minister; whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

This is how a person who has heartfelt love of his neighbour behaves - a person who feels delight and bliss in doing good to others for no selfish reason, that is, one who has charity towards the neighbour.
