旧约 - 创世记（Genesis）第45章

Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.

And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.

For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.

And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:

And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:

And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.

And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.

And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.

And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.

Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.

And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;

And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.

Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.

Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.

And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.

To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.

And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.

So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.

And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,

And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not.

And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:

And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.

创世记第四十五章　　第 45 章　

　　创 45:4-8> 神对人生的计划，超乎个人的所想所求……　

　　45:4-8　尽管约瑟的哥哥们想把约瑟除掉，但神却能使用他们的恶行来成全祂最终的计划。祂打发约瑟先到埃及，不单保存了雅各全家的性命，拯救了埃及，也为建立以色列或成为一个国家作好准备。神掌王权，祂的计划不受人的行动影响。当别人想要害我们的时候，我们须知他们只是神的工具，就正如约瑟对哥哥们所说：“从前你们的意思是要害我，但神的意思原是好的，要保全许多人的性命，成就今日的光景。”（ 50:20 ）　

　　创 45:17-20> 我心中仍对谁的过错不能释然？难道不可以饶恕和忘记吗？　

　　45:17-20　约瑟曾被弃、被拐、被卖、被囚。虽然他的哥哥们恶待他，他却宽宏大量地饶恕他们，并与他们同享富足。从约瑟身上显明了神怎样赦免我们。我们虽然得罪祂，祂仍向我们大施慈爱。如果我们祈求这样的宽恕与祝福，神必赐给我们。　

　　创 45:26-27> 求主教我在不可能相信之处，因神的缘故而去相信……　

　　45:26-27　雅各需要有证据才相信约瑟仍然活着。当耶稣从死里复活向门徒显现时，多马也同样不肯相信，他要亲眼看见、亲手摸到主才信（参约 20:25 ）。有时即使有充足的凭证，人的信仰都很难改变，更何况没有凭证呢！福音可能令人难以置信，但我们切勿放弃神为我们所预备好的福气。──《灵修版圣经注释》　

创世记第四十五章　　以德报怨（四十五 1 ～ 15 ）　

　　约瑟终于不再隐藏他的身分，他现在已经查出他所要知道的一切了，故此他抓住这个当前最大的良机来表白他自己。当他与哥哥们相认之时情不自禁地大哭一场，把他十几年来的冤情和思亲情愫都哭出来了。至于哥哥们当然震惊非常、无言以对。就在这不知所措的情景下，约瑟再次说话安慰他们，为要解除他们对他所存的恐惧心理，使他们知道他对他们没有半点抱怨和报仇之心，反而陈说了神在他们所有的恶行上曾施行的奇妙管治；他并且宽宏的处理此事。　

　　从这一段记载，我们可以看到约瑟完全的胜利，不单在外表上成功，在灵性上也是成功的。他的成功在三方面表现出来：　

　　．宽容之心──他的优美德性在他对待哥哥们的宽宏大量上显露无遗，他实实在在是一位以德报怨的人。　

　　．谦卑之心──经过多年的奋斗，从奴仆之身跃升至一人之下万人之上的宰相地位；但他没有自高，反而认为自己的高升和所有成就都是神的恩典，可见他具有真正的谦卑。　

　　．真诚爱心──他抱兄弟痛哭，与他们亲嘴和好，显见他的心充满爱和饶恕。　

　　祈祷　主啊，无论顺逆穷达，求都帮助我有倚靠的心，忠诚信赖美意的安排。　

　　神奇妙的作为（四十五 16 ～ 28 ）　

　　约瑟与兄弟相认了以后，便宣告把他的全家都搬来埃及，并且将这事告诉法老王。从这段记载中，我们可以看见神的作为：　

　　．仁慈的法老（ 16 ～ 20 ）──作为埃及最高统治者的法老知道这事后，大表赞同，甚至供给车辆，以便约瑟的父家迁来埃及定居。法老的仁慈乃是对约瑟高明政策的一种酬谢表示，然而另一方面，从他这一种宽宏慷慨的胸襟亦可见他并没有那一种狭窄的国家观念（四十三 32 ）。基督徒蒙受了别人的恩惠后也必须在合适时候有所表示，这是基督徒生活应有的礼貌和表现。　

　　．兄弟回家去（ 21 ～ 24 ）──约瑟十一个兄弟乘法老所供给的车辆，带粮食、那些埃及的衣袍和二十匹驴，并其他一切为雅各特备的美物一道回家去。当时他们的心情一定是轻松和兴奋的，因为他们已获得约瑟的赦免；正如基督徒蒙神赦免时也会有甘美的感觉。请注意约瑟对他们所说的一句话：“你们不要在路上相争。”这句话代表约瑟甚了解他们的性情，由于他送给便雅悯的礼物比其他兄弟特别多，他恐防再度引起嫉妒，所以特别提醒他们，不可像过去对待他那样来对待便雅悯。　

　　．惊愕的雅各（ 25 ～ 28 ）──雅各对于儿子们所说的话表示不信，及至看见车辆时“心就苏醒了”。　

　　祈祷　求神开我的眼，让我看见奇妙的作为。──《新旧约辅读》　

7．约瑟向哥哥们揭露身分（四五）　　四五1～8 本章是圣经中最感人的一幕。约瑟吩咐仆人出去，他心情激动，放声大哭，并向兄弟说明自己的身分。他叫众兄不要为卖他而自忧自恨。因为神掌管一切，在这事上有他美意。尽管约瑟的哥哥们想把约瑟除掉，但神却能使用他们的恶行来成全他最终的计划。他打发约瑟先到埃及，不单保存了雅各全家的性命，拯救了埃及，也为建立以色列或成为一个国家作好准备。

　　神在人邪恶的行为上，仍然掌权，藉以成全他的旨意，他的计划不受人的行动影响。在信心里预先计算那成全的日子，能使我们在艰苦跋涉的途中歌唱，使我们能说：“这是正路，我们要行在其中。”

　　四五9～15 众兄弟要请父亲、他们一家和一切的财产都带来埃及的歌珊地，度过余下五年的饥荒。“你们也要将我在埃及一切的荣耀都告诉我父亲。”我们也可遵行这吩咐，在神面前述说他爱子的荣耀。约瑟拥抱使雅悯，然后与众兄弟来嘴。心中的激愤如深渊之源，瀑瀑而出。

　　约瑟曾被弃、被拐、被卖、被囚。虽然他的哥哥们恶待他，他却宽宏大量地饶恕他们，并与他们同享富足。约瑟与兄弟重遇，喜极而泣，场面感人，正是基督在各各他山上向以色列民显明自己是弥赛亚君王的前奏。

　　四五 16～24 法老得闻约瑟的兄弟们来了，就吩咐约瑟的兄弟往迦南去，把父亲和家眷接到埃及来。他们不用搬运笨重的家具，法老可供给他们一切的出产。兄弟带着约瑟给他们各人一套美服，牲口和日用品，乘坐法老为他们预备的车辆返回迦南。约瑟另给便雅悯一些金钱和五套衣服。约瑟深怕兄弟在返家途中，互相谴责早年亏待约瑟，就吩咐他们不要相争。

　　四五25～28 他们返抵家中，告知雅各兄弟重遇的消息，雅各不信，他们便把事情的始末告诉雅各，又看见约瑟打发来接他的车辆。雅各这才相信约瑟还活着，且会重聚！

　　约瑟在本章五次提及父亲。可见约瑟不单海量汪涵，原谅众兄，还时常记念父，象基督一样。我们的主爱父，遵行父的旨意，降世拯救罪人。约瑟对雅各的爱，正是这种爱的隐影。
