Löydetty 2068 Tulokset: famine in Israel

  • So it was that Joseph acquired all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; all the Egyptians sold their fields, so cruelly hard-pressed were they by the famine. Pharaoh became owner of the land (Genesis 47, 20)

  • So Israel lived in Egypt in the land of Goshen. They became owners of this land; they had many children and greatly increased in number. (Genesis 47, 27)

  • Jacob insisted, "Swear to it!" He swore to him and Israel fell back on his pillow. (Genesis 47, 31)

  • So they told Jacob that Joseph his son had come. Then Israel, mustering his strength, sat up in bed. (Genesis 48, 2)

  • When Israel saw Joseph's sons he said, "Who are these?" (Genesis 48, 8)

  • As Israel's eyes were dim with age, he could no longer see. When Jacob brought them near, he kissed and embraced them, (Genesis 48, 10)

  • Joseph lifted them from Israel's knees and he himself bowed low, his face to the ground. (Genesis 48, 12)

  • Joseph then took them both, Ephraim by his right hand to Israel's left, and Manasseh by his left hand to Israel's right. (Genesis 48, 13)

  • Israel raised his right hand and placed it on Ephraim's head, although he was the younger, and placed his left hand on Manasseh's head even though Manasseh was the firstborn. (Genesis 48, 14)

  • He blessed them that day in these words: "Through you Israel will bestow this blessing: May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh!" So he placed Ephraim ahead of Manasseh. (Genesis 48, 20)

  • Then Israel said to Joseph, "I am going to die. God will be with you and he will bring you back to the land of your fathers. (Genesis 48, 21)

  • "Gather round, sons of Jacob. And listen to your father Israel! (Genesis 49, 2)


“Não queremos aceitar o fato de que o sofrimento é necessário para nossa alma e de que a cruz deve ser o nosso pão cotidiano. Assim como o corpo precisa ser nutrido, também a alma precisa da cruz, dia a dia, para purificá-la e desapegá-la das coisas terrenas. Não queremos entender que Deus não quer e não pode salvar-nos nem santificar-nos sem a cruz. Quanto mais Ele chama uma alma a Si, mais a santifica por meio da cruz.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
