Happy Summer! ✛ The Installation of Enoch Huang, Intern for the Ministry ✛ The Sign of Peace THE LESSON La Lección Primera The First Lesson Génesis 37: 1-20 Genesis 37: 1-20 Jacob se quedó a vivir en Canaán, donde su padres habías vivido por algún tiempo. Ésta es la historia de la familia de Jacob. Cuando José era un muchacho de diecisiete años, cuidaba las ovejas junto con sus hermanos, los niños de Bilhá y de Zilpá, que eran las esposas de su padre. Y José llevaba a su padre quejas de la mala conducta de sus hermanos. Israel quería a José más que a sus otros niños, porque había nacido cuando Israel ya era viejo. Por eso le hizo una túnica muy elegante. Pero al darse cuenta sus hermanos de que su padre lo quería más que a todos ellos, llegaron a odiarlo y ni siquiera lo saludaban. Una vez José tuvo un sueño, y se lo contó a sus hermanos; pero ellos lo odiaron más todavía, porque les dijo: “Escuchen, voy a contarles el sueño que tuve. Soñé que todos nosotros estábamos en el campo, haciendo manojos de trigo; de pronto, mi manojo se levantó y quedó derecho, pero los manojos de ustedes se pusieron alrededor del mío y le hicieron reverencias.” Entonces sus hermanos contestaron: “¿Quieres decir que tú vas a ser nuestro gobernante, y que nos vas a dominar?” Y lo odiaron todavía más por sus sueños y por la forma en que los contaba. Después José tuvo otro sueño, que también les contó a sus hermanos. Les dijo: “¿Saben que tuve otro sueño, en el que veía que el sol, la luna y once estrellas me hacían reverencias?” Cuando José contó este sueño a su padre y a sus hermanos, su padre le reprendió y le dijo: “¿Qué quieres decir con este sueño que tuviste? ¿Acaso tu madre, tus hermanos y yo tendremos que hacerte reverencias?” Y sus hermanos le tenían envidia, pero su padre pensaba mucho en este asunto. Un día los hermanos de José fueron a Siquem, buscando pastos para las ovejas de su padre. Entonces Israel le dijo a José: “Mira, tus hermanos están en Siquem cuidando las ovejas. Quiero que vayas a verlos.” “Iré con mucho gusto,” contestó José. “Bueno,” dijo Israel, “ve y fíjate cómo están tus hermanos y las ovejas, y regresa luego a traerme la noticia.” Israel mandó a José desde el valle de Hebrón, y cuando José llegó a Siquem, se perdió por el campo. Entonces uns persona lo encontró y le preguntó: “¿Qué andas buscando?” “Ando buscando a mis hermanos,” respondió José, “¿Podría usted decirme dónde están cuidando las ovejas?” “Ya se fueron de aquí,” dijo la persona. “Les oí decir que se iban a Dotán.” José fue en busca de sus hermanos y los encontró en Dotán. Ellos lo vieron venir a lo lejos, y antes de que se acercara hicieron planes para matarlo. Se dijeron unos a otros: “¡Miren, ahí viene el de los sueños! Vengan, vamos a matarlo; luego lo echaremos a un pozo y diremos que un animal salvaje se lo comió. ¡Y vamos a ver qué pasa con sus sueños!” + Esta es la Palabra de Dios TE ALABAMOS, O DIOS Jacob settled in the land where his parents had lived as aliens, the land of Canaan. This is the story of the family of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was shepherding the flock with his brothers; he was a helper to the children of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s spouses; and Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father. Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his children, because he was the child of his old age; and Israel had made Joseph a long robe with sleeves. But when Joseph’s siblings saw that their father loved Joseph more than all his children, they hated Joseph, and could not speak peaceably to him. Once Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his siblings, they hated him even more. Joseph said to them, “Listen to this dream that I had. There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright; then your sheaves gathered around it, and bowed down to my sheaf.” Joseph’s siblings said to him, “Are you indeed to reign over us? Are you indeed to have dominion over us?” So they hated Joseph even more because of his dreams and his words. Joseph had another dream, and told it to his siblings, saying, “Look, I have had another dream: the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” But when Joseph told it to his father and to his siblings, his father rebuked him, and said to Joseph, “What kind of dream is this that you have had? Shall we indeed come, I and your mother and your siblings, and bow to the ground before you?” So Joseph’s siblings were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind. Now Joseph’s siblings went to pasture their father’s flock near Shechem. And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your siblings pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them.” Joseph answered, “Here I am.” So Israel said to Joseph, “Go now, see if it is well with your siblings and with the flock; and bring word back to me.” So Israel sent Joseph from the valley of Hebron. Joseph came to Shechem, and a person found him wandering in the fields; the person asked Joseph, “What are you seeking?” “I am seeking my siblings,” Joseph said; “tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock.” The person said, “They have gone away, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” So Joseph went after his siblings, and found them at Dothan. They saw Joseph from a distance, and before he came near to them, they conspired to kill him. They said to one another, “Here comes the dreamer. Come now, let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; then we shall say that a wild animal has devoured him, and we shall see what will become of his dreams.” + This is the word of God THANKS BE TO GOD WELCOME HOME to MCCNY!
