5040.创世记39:21-23.但耶和华与约瑟同在，向他施怜悯，使他在监狱长的眼里蒙恩。监狱长就把牢里所有的囚犯都交在约瑟的手下，凡他们在那里所办的事都由他处理。凡在约瑟手下的事，监狱长一概不察，因为耶和华与约瑟同在，耶和华使他所作的尽都顺利。
“但耶和华与约瑟同在”表神性在祂里面。“向他施怜悯”表神性之爱在每一件事里面。“使他在监狱长的眼里蒙恩”表随之在试探中的宽慰。“监狱长”表在试探状态中进行掌管的真理。“就把牢里所有的囚犯都交在约瑟的手下”表掌管一切虚假（的真理）是从祂自己获得的。“凡他们在那里所办的事都由他处理”表绝对的权柄和掌控。“凡在约瑟手下的事，监狱长一概不察”表祂自己掌管真理。“因为耶和华与约瑟同在”表来自在祂里面的神性。“耶和华使他所作的尽都顺利”表神性眷护管理始于祂自己。

5040. Verses 21-23. And Jehovah was with Joseph, and inclined mercy unto him, and gave him grace in the eyes of the prince of the prison house. And the prince of the prison house gave into Joseph's hand all the bound ones that were in the prison house; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer. The prince of the prison house saw naught of anything that was in his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and that which he did, Jehovah made it to prosper. "And Jehovah was with Joseph," signifies that the Divine was in Him; "and inclined mercy unto him," signifies the Divine love in everything; "and gave him grace in the eyes of the prince of the prison house," signifies relief in consequence; "and the prince of the prison house," signifies truth governing in a state of temptations; "gave into Joseph's hand all the bound ones that were in the prison house," signifies from Himself over all falsities; "and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer," signifies absolute power; "the prince of the prison house saw naught of anything that was in his hand," signifies that He Himself governed truth; "because Jehovah was with him," signifies from the Divine which was in Him; "and that which he did, Jehovah made it to prosper," signifies that the Divine providence was from Himself.

5040. Vers. 21-23. Et fuit Jehovah cum Josepho, et inclinavit ad eum misericordiam, et dedit gratiam ejus in oculis principis domus carceris. Et dedit princeps domus carceris in manum Josephi omnes vinctos qui in domo carceris, et omne quod facientes ibi, is fuit faciens. Nihil princeps domus carceris videns quicquam in manu ejus, eo quod Jehovah cum eo, et quod is faciens, Jehovah prosperans. `Et fuit Jehovah cum Josepho' significat quod Divinum inesset: `et inclinavit ad eum misericordiam' significat amorem Divinum in singulis: `et dedit gratiam ejus in oculis principis domus carceris' significat inde sublevationem in tentationibus: `et dedit princeps domus carceris' significat verum gubernans in statu tentationum: `in manum Josephi omnes vinctos qui in domo carceris' significat ab Ipso super omnia falsa: `et omne quod facientes ibi, is fuit faciens' significat absolutam potestatem: `nihil princeps domus carceris videns quicquam in manu ejus' significat quod Ipse gubernaret verum: [`eo quod Jehovah cum eo' significat a Divino quod in Ipso:] `et quod is faciens, Jehovah prosperans' significat quod Divina Providentia ab Ipso.
