6227.创世记48:3-7.雅各对约瑟说，沙代神曾在迦南地的路斯向我显现，祝福了我，祂对我说，看哪，我必使你繁殖，使你增多，使你成为万民的会众；又要把这地赐给你以后的种，作为永远的产业。我未到埃及你那里之前，你在埃及地所生的这两个儿子，现在他们是我的；以法莲和玛拿西跟流便和西缅一样，他们是我的。你在他们以后所生的后裔就是你的，他们可称在自己兄弟的名下得他们的产业。至于我，我从巴旦来的时候，拉结就死在我身边，在迦南地，在路上，那里到以法他还有几里地；我在那里把她葬在以法他的路上；以法他就是伯利恒。
“雅各对约瑟说”表属世层的真理与内在的交流。“沙代神曾在迦南地的路斯向我显现”表在之前的状态下，神性在属世层里面显现。“祝福了我”表关于赋予生命的预言。“祂对我说，看哪，我必使你繁殖，使你增多”表通过仁之良善和信之真理赋予生命。“使你成为万民的会众”表无限制地增多。“又要把这地赐给你以后的种，作为永远的产业”表属于那些拥有这良善和真理在里面之人的主的国度。“你在埃及地所生的这两个儿子”表来自内在的属世层里面的良善与真理。“我未到埃及你那里之前”表在属世层的真理存在于那里的记忆知识中之前。“现在他们是我的”表他们在我里面。“以法莲和玛拿西”表教会的理解力和意愿。“跟流便和西缅一样，他们是我的”表他们将成为真理和真理之良善。“你在他们以后所生的后裔”表以后所生的内层真理与良善。“就是你的”表它们将在来自内在，或存在于内在里面的理性层中。“他们可称在自己兄弟的名下得他们的产业”表它们将具有教会的真理与良善的性质，并一起存在于它们当中。“至于我，我从巴旦来的时候”表从一种知识或认知的状态。“拉结就死在我身边，在迦南地”表之前对内层真理的情感的结束。“在路上，那里还有几里地”表居间之物。“到以法他”表处于之前状态的属天层的属灵层。“我在那里把她葬在以法他的路上”表对那种状态的弃绝。“以法他就是伯利恒”表取而代之的是一种对真理与良善的新情感的状态。

6227. Verses 3-7. And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Shaddai appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me. And He said unto me, Behold I will make thee fruitful, and will cause thee to be multiplied, and will make of thee a company of peoples; and I will give this land to thy seed after thee for an eternal possession. And now thy two sons who were born to thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, they are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh, as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. And thy generation which thou begettest after them shall be thine; upon the name of their brethren they shall be called in their inheritance. And I, in my coming from Paddan, Rachel died upon me in the land of Canaan, in the way, when there was still a tract of land to come unto Ephrath; and I buried her there in the way to Ephrath, the same is Bethlehem. "And Jacob said unto Joseph," signifies the communication of the truth of the natural with the internal; "God Shaddai appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan," signifies the Divine appearing in the natural in a former state; "and blessed me," signifies prediction about vivification; "and He said unto me, Behold I will make thee fruitful, and will cause thee to be multiplied" signifies vivification through the good of charity and the truth of faith; "and will make of thee a company of peoples," signifies increase indefinitely; "and I will give this land to thy seed after thee for an eternal possession," signifies the Lord's kingdom for those who are in that good and truth; "and now thy two sons, who were born to thee in the land of Egypt," signifies good and truth in the natural from the internal; "before I came unto thee into Egypt," signifies before the truth of the natural was in the memory-knowledges there; "they are mine," signifies that they are in me; "Ephraim and Manasseh," signifies the intellectual and the will of the church; "as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine," signifies that they shall be truth and the good of truth; "and thy generation which thou begettest after them," signifies interior truths and goods, which are afterward; "shall be thine," signifies that they shall be in the rational which is from the internal; "upon the name of their brethren they shall be called in their inheritance," signifies that they would be of the quality of the truths and goods of the church, and together among them; "and I, in my coming from Paddan," signifies from a state of knowledges; "Rachel died upon me in the land of Canaan," signifies the end of the former affection of interior truth; "in the way, when there was still a tract of land," signifies what is intermediate; "to come unto Ephrath," signifies the spiritual of the celestial in the former state; "and I buried her there in the way to Ephrath," signifies the rejection of that state; "the same is Bethlehem," signifies in its place a state of new affection of truth and good.

6227. Verses 3-7 And Jacob said to Joseph, God Shaddai showed Himself to me in Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me. And He said to me, Behold, I am making you fruitful and will cause you to be multiplied, and I will make you into a congregation of peoples, and I will give this land to your seed after you as an everlasting possession. And now your two sons born to you in the land of Egypt, prior to my coming to you, to Egypt, they are mine, Ephraim and Manasseh; as Reuben and Simeon will they be mine. And your offspringa that you beget after them will be yours; they will be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance. And as for me, when I was coming from Paddan, Rachel died on me in the land of Canaan on the road when there was still a stretch of land to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the road to Ephrath, that is, Bethlehem.
'And Jacob said to Joseph' means a communication of the truth of the natural with the internal. 'God Shaddai showed Himself to me in Luz in the land of Canaan' means the Divine appearing within the natural in a previous state. 'And blessed me' means a foretelling about a bestowal of life. 'And he said to me, Behold, I am making you fruitful and will cause you to be multiplied' means a bestowal of life through the good of charity and the truth of faith. 'And I will make you into a congregation of peoples' means an increase without limit. 'And I will give [this] land to [your] seed after you as an everlasting possession' means the Lord's kingdom belonging to those who have that goodness and truth within them. 'And now your two sons born to you in the land of Egypt' means goodness and truth within the natural that come from the internal. 'Prior to my coming to you, to Egypt' means before the truth of the natural existed within factual knowledge there. 'They are mine' means that they are within me. 'Ephraim and Manasseh' means the Church's understanding and will. 'As Reuben and Simeon will they be mine' means that they will be truth and the good of truth. 'And your offspring that you beget after them' means interior truths and forms of good which are begotten later on. 'Will be yours' means that they will be in the rational which is within the internal. 'They will be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance' means that they will be of the same essential nature as that of the Church's truths and forms of good, and will exist together among them. 'And as for me, when I was coming from Paddan' means from a state of cognitions. 'Rachel died on me in the land of Canaan' means the end of a former affection for interior truth. 'On the road when there was still a stretch of land' means what comes in between. 'To go to Ephrath' means the spiritual of the celestial in a former state. 'And I buried her on the road to Ephrath' means a casting away of that state. 'That is, Bethlehem' means replacing this, a state in which there is a new affection for truth and good.

6227. {1} Vers. 3-7. Et dixit Jacob ad Josephum, Deus Shaddai visus ad me in Luz in terra Canaan, et benedixit mihi. Et dixit ad me, Ecce Ego fructificans te, et multiplicari faciam te, et dabo te ad coetum populorum, et dabo terram hanc semini tuo post te possessionem aeternam. Et nunc duo filii tui nati tibi in terra Aegypti usque ad me venire ad te Aegyptum, mihi illi, Ephraim et Menasheh, sicut Reuben et Shimeon erunt mihi. Et generatio tua quam generas post illos, tibi erunt; super nomine fratrum suorum vocabuntur in hereditate sua.
