Scripture Reading: Genesis 48~49

“이 일 후에(48:1)” 즉 야곱이 요셉에게 가나안에 묻으라 부탁하고 맹서를 받은 후에 병들었으므로, 요셉이 아들들과 병문안 갔는데, “이스라엘이 힘을 내어 침상에 앉아, 요셉에게 이전에 가나안 땅 루스에서 전능하신 하나님이 내게 나타나사 복을 주시며, 내가 너로 생육하고 번성하게 하여 네게서 많은 백성이 나게 하고 내가 이 땅을 네 후손에게 주어 영원한 소유가 되게 하리라 하셨느니라. 내가 애굽으로 네게 이르기 전에 네가 낳은 두 아들 에브라임과 므낫세는 내 것이라 르우벤과 시므온처럼 내 것이 될 것이요. 이들 후의 네 소생은 네 것이 될 것이며 그들의 유산은 형의 이름으로 함께 받으리라(48:2-6)” 하며 하나님의 약속과 은혜를 전한 야곱이 요셉과 아들들에게, “내 앞으로 나아오라 내가 그들에게 축복하리라(48:9)” 하므로, “요셉이 두 아들을 이끌어 아버지 앞으로 나아가니 이스라엘이 그들에게 입맞추고 안고, 요셉에게 내가 네 얼굴을 보리라고는 생각하지 못하였더니 하나님이 내게 네 자손까지도 보게 하셨도다(48:10-11)” 하였는데, 요셉이 두 아들을 물러나게 하고, 오른손으로는 에브라임을 이스라엘의 왼손을 향하게 하고 왼손으로는 므낫세를 이스라엘의 오른손을 향하게 하였으나, “이스라엘이 오른손을 차남 에브라임의 머리에 얹고 왼손을 므낫세의 머리에 팔을 엇바꾸어 얹었더라. 그가 요셉을 위하여 축복하되 내 조부 아브라함과 아버지 이삭이 섬기던 하나님, 나의 출생으로부터 지금까지 나를 기르신 하나님, 나를 모든 환난에서 건지신 여호와의 사자께서 이 아이들에게 복을 주시며 내 이름과 조상 아브라함과 이삭의 이름으로 칭하게 하시며 세상에서 번식되게 하시기를 원하나이다(48:14-16)” 간구하였습니다.

Jacob, the father of Israelites was illness, when he had been commanded to his son Joseph with his oath to the land of Canaan, as “Sometime later (48:1)” That’s why, Joseph was visited him with his two sons, then, Jacob said for the blessed and promised from God to Joseph, as “Israel rallied his strengthens sat up on the bed. Jacob said to Joseph, God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and there he blessed me, and said to me, I am going to make you a community of peoples and I will give this land as an everlasting possession to your descendants after you. Now then, you two sons born to you in Egypt before I came to you here will be reckoned as mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine just as Reuben and Simeon are mine. Any children born to you after them will be yours; in the territory they inherit they will be reckoned under the name of their brothers. (48:2-6)” And, summoned Joseph’s two sons, and praised for God’s favors, as “Bring them to me so I may bless them. So, Joseph brought his sons close to him, and his father kissed them and embraced them. Israel said to Joseph, I never expected to see your face again, and now God has allowed me to see your children too. (48:9-11)” However, he was prayed for their blessing to God, but, he blessed to Ephraim more than Manasseh as “Israel reached out his right hand and put it on Ephraim’s head, though he was the younger, and crossing his arms, he put his left hand on Manasseh’s head, even though Manasseh was the firstborn. Then he blessed Joseph and said, May the God before whom my fathers, Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day the Angel who has delivered me from all harm-may he bless these boys. May they be called y my name and the names of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, and may they increase greatly upon the earth. (48:14-16)”

그런데 “요셉이 아버지가 오른손을 에브라임의 머리에 얹은 것을 보고 기뻐하지 아니하여 아버지의 손을 들어 에브라임의 머리에서 므낫세의 머리로 옮기고자 하여, 아버지에게 그리 마옵소서 이는 장자이니 오른손을 그의 머리에 얹으소서 하였으나, 그의 아버지가 허락하지 아니하며 나도 안다 내 아들아 그도 한 족속이 되며 크게 되려니와 아우가 그보다 큰 자가 되고 여러 민족을 이루리라 하고, 그 날에 그들에게 축복하되 이스라엘이 너로 말미암아 축복하기를 하나님이 네게 에브라임 같고 므낫세 같게 하시리라 하며 에브라임을 므낫세보다 앞세웠고(48:17-20)” 눈이 어두웠던 이스라엘이지만 두 아이의 머리에 손을 어긋나게 올리고 하나님의 뜻에 따라 축복하며, “나는 죽으나 하나님이 너희와 함께 계시사 너희를 인도하여 너희 조상의 땅으로 돌아가게 하시려니와, 내가 네게 형제보다 세겜 땅을 더 주었나니 이는 내가 내 칼과 활로 아모리 족속의 손에서 빼앗은 것이니라(48:21-22)” 하며, 에브라임과 므낫세 두 지파로 갈라질 것을 예언하였듯, 사람이 축복할지라도 하나님께서 주관하며 역사하십니다.

But, the Joseph was not pleased it, and pleaded to his father Jacob, as “When Joseph saw his father placing his right hand on Ephraim’s head he was displeased; so, he took old of his father’s hand to move it from Ephraim’s head to Manasseh’s head. Joseph said to him, Now, my father, this one is the firstborn; put your hand on his head. (48:17-18)” However, “His father refused and said, I know, my son, I know. He too will become a people, and he too will become great. Nevertheless, his yo8unger brother will be greater than he, and his descendants will become a group of nations. He blessed them that day and said, In your name will Israel pronounce this blessing: May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh. So, he put Ephraim head of Manasseh. (48:19-20)” Because, Jacob was blessed them even he could not see anything clearly, but he cross over his hands to Ephraim and Manasseh through his Immanuel God the Holy Spirit, so that he was foretold for the descendants of Joseph surely be divided two families ad tribes, as “I am about to die, but God will be with you and take you back to the land of your fathers. And to you, as one who is over your brothers, I give the ridge of land I took from the Amorites with my sword and my bow. (48:21-22)” Because, the Lord God providence everything, even though, who blessing himself to whom.

그래서 “야곱이 아들들을 불러 이르되 너희가 후일에 당할 일을 내가 너희에게 이르리라. 너희는 모여 들으라 야곱의 아들들아 너희 아버지 이스라엘에게 들을지어다(49:1-2)” 하며, 르우벤은 육신의 욕망을 절제하지 못한 죄로 장자권을 빼앗기고, 시므온과 레위는 학살하고 원수를 갚은 죄로 고난을 받고, 유다의 배려와 헌신이 이스라엘의 왕권과 그리스도의 조상이 되리라 예언하였고, 스불론은 해상무역으로 번성하는 복을 받고, 잇사갈은 기름진 땅에서 나는 풍요로움을 누리며 왕을 섬기다가 압제에서 벗어나는 복을 받았으며, 단은 구원에서 배제되는 저주를 받았고, 갓은 고난을 이기고 승리하는 복을 받았으며, 아셀은 기름진 땅에서 나는 풍성한 곡물로 왕을 섬기는 복을 받았고, 납달리는 매이지 않는 자유를 얻는 축복을 하였으며, “요셉은 샘 곁의 무성한 가지가 담을 넘었도다. 활쏘는 자가 그를 학대하며 적개심을 가지고 그를 쏘았으나, 요셉의 활은 도리어 굳세며 팔은 힘이 있으니 야곱의 전능자 이스라엘의 반석인 목자의 손을 힘입음이라. 네 아버지의 하나님께로 말미암나니 그가 너를 도우실 것이요 전능자로 말미암나니 그가 네게 복을 주실 것이라 위로 하늘의 복과 아래로 깊은 샘의 복과 젖먹이는 복과 태의 복이리로다. 네 아버지의 축복이 내 선조의 축복보다 나아서 영원한 산이 한없음 같이 이 축복이 요셉의 머리로 돌아오며 형제 중 뛰어난 자의 정수리로 돌아오리로다. 베냐민은 물어뜯는 이리라 아침에는 빼앗은 것을 먹고 저녁에는 움킨 것을 나누리로다(49:22-27)” 하며 이스라엘 열두 지파를 축복하면서 야곱이 사랑하던 요셉 지파에 더 많은 축복을 하였듯, 사람은 육신의 생각에 이끌려 사랑이나 축복도 공평하게 하지 못합니다.

That is why, “Jacob called for his sons and said: Gather around so I can tell you what will happen to you in days to come. Assemble and listen, sons of Jacob listen to your father Israel. (49:1-2)” And, foretold of the coming days of his sons to them, for his son Reuben surely be loss his firstborn rights by his sins, and coming to afflicted to the brother of Simeon and the Levi by their sins of slaughtered of the men, and Judah will be father of the king of Israelites by his devotion loves, and Zebulun will be the father of traders to prosperity and Issachar is blessed of the pleasantly serve the king by the fertile land, and cursed to Dan is lost their salvation of God, and blessed to Gad o triumph after big distressed and blessing Asher will be serve the king by rich food, and Naphtali will be freedoms and the descendants of Joseph shall be blessed to most prosperous than any other brothers, causes of his fleshly loves to Joseph, and Benjamin is fallen to sins of cruelty, as “Joseph is a fruitful vine, a fruitful vine near spring, whose branches climb over a wall. With bitterness archers attacked him; they shot at him with hostility. But his bow remained steady, his strong arms stayed limber, because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the rock of Israel, because of your fathers God, who blesses you with blessings of the heavens above, blessings of the of the deep that lies below, blessings of the breast and womb. Your father’s blessings are greater than the blessings of the ancient mountains, than the bounty of the age-old hills. Let all these rest on the head of Joseph, one brow of the prince among his brothers. Benjamin bis a ravenous wolf; in the morning he devour the prey, in the evening he divides the plunder (49:22-27)” Even he was foretold and blessing to his sons through  his Immanuel God of the Holy Spirit, because, no one can correctly mastered or controlled his fleshly sinful desires.

그러나 야곱이 “내가 조상들에게 돌아가리니 헷 사람 에브론의 밭에 있는 굴에 선조와 함께 장사하라. 이 굴은 가나안 땅 마므레 앞 막벨라 밭에 있는 것이라 아브라함이 헷 사람 에브론에게서 밭과 함께 사서 매장지를 삼았으므로, 아브라함과 사라가 거기 장사되었고 이삭과 리브가도 거기 장사되었으며 나도 레아를 그 곳에 장사하였노라. 이 밭과 굴은 헷 사람에게서 산 것이니라. 야곱이 아들에게 명하기를 마치고 그 발을 침상에 모으고 숨을 거두고 돌아갔듯(49:29-33)” 죽기까지 약속의 말씀에 소망을 두고 죽어야 대속과 구원을 얻는 본을 보였기 때문에, “요셉이 그의 아버지 얼굴에 구푸려 울며 입맞추고, 수종 드는 의원에게 명하여 아버지의 몸을 향으로 처리하게 하매 사십 일이 걸렸으며 칠십 일 동안 곡하는 기한이 지나매 요셉이 바로의 궁에 말하되, 우리 아버지가 나로 맹세하게 하되 내가 죽거든 가나안 땅에 파 놓은 묘실에 장사하라 하였나니 올라가서 아버지를 장사하게 하소서 내가 다시 오리이다(50:1-5)” 하였더니, 바로가 “올라가서 아버지를 장사하라(50:6)” 허락하였고, “바로의 모든 신하와 애굽 땅의 모든 원로와, 요셉의 온 집과 형제들과 아버지의 집이 함께 올라가고, 병거와 기병이 요셉을 따라 올라가니. 요단 강 건너편 아닷 타작 마당에 이르러 칠 일 동안 애곡하였더니, 가나안 백성들이 아닷 마당의 애통을 보고 애굽 사람의 큰 애통이라 아벨미스라임이라 하였더라. 야곱의 아들들이 아버지가 명령한 대로, 그를 가나안 땅으로 메어다가 마므레 앞 막벨라 밭 굴에 장사하였듯(50:7-13)” 모든 사람의 사랑과 존경을 받는 장례를 치루었다 증거하므로, 죽기까지 그리스도의 복음을 증거하고 대속과 구원 얻기를 예수 이름으로 간절히 축복하며 기도합니다. 아멘.

Even though, Jacob was forgiven his sins and saved his eternal life because, he was shown the way of faith in Christ Jesus, through his confidently death by the promised words of God, as “I am about to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my gathers in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite, the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre in Canaan, which Abraham bought as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite, along with the field. There Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried, there Isaac and his wife Rebekah were buried, and here I buried Leah. The field and the cave in it were bought from the Hittites. When Jacob had finished giving instructions to his sons he drew his feet up into the bed, breathed his last and was gathered to his people. (49:29-33)” That’s why, the Pharaoh was granted for bury for Jacob’s body through his wanted, as “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do. (50:6)” When Joseph asked and pleaded to him, as “Joseph threw himself upon his father and wept over him and kissed him. Then Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So, the physicians embalmed him., taking a full forty days, for that was the time required for embalming. And the Egyptians mourned for him seventy days. When the days of mourning had passed, Joseph said to Pharaoh’s court, If I have found favor in your eye, speak to Pharaoh for me. Tell him, My father made me swear and, oath and said, I am about to die; bury me in the tomb I dug for myself in the land of Canaan. Now let me go up and bury my father, then I will return. (50:1-5)” At that time, Pharaoh pleasantly granted his petitions, then, Joseph buried his father Jacob to Canaan magnificently with so many officials, soldiers and his brothers and households, as “So Joseph went up to bury his father. All Pharaoh’s officials accompanied him-the dignitaries of his court and all the dignitaries of Egypt-besides all the members of Joseph’s household and his brothers and those belonging to his father’s household. Only their children and their flocks and herds were left in Goshen. Chariots and horsemen also wet up with him. It was a very large company. When they reached the threshing floor of Atad, near the Jordan, they lamented loudly and bitterly; and there, Joseph observed a seven-day period of mourning for his father. When the Canaanites who lived there saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, The Egyptians are holding a solemn ceremony of mourning. That is why that place near the Jordan is called Abel Mizraim. So Jacob’s sons did as he had commanded them: They carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre, which Abraham had bought as a burial place from Ephron the Hittite, along with the field. (50:7-13)” Therefore, everyone, you will be cling to the promise of salvation in Christ Jesus and commit and entrusted your ways to God and always humbly obeying to your Immanuel God and sincerely witness of your Savior Christ Jesus to many others until your very ages and be saved and enter the eternal life in the kingdom of God n the heaven forever and ever. I prayer for you as that faith in Christ Jesus all. Amen.
