Lesson Text: Genesis 47: 1-7
v 50: 18-24. '
The life of Joseph is given in four
teen chapters of Genesis (37-50),
..which is nearly one-third of the en
' tire book. ; "It is a story of triple in-
apiration: in the perfection of litera
ture biography at its best; in stature
and stability of manhood, personality
at its purest; and 'in messianic fore
cast and type hriBtlikene8S at its
'$ clearest" (iloore).i;v4:- ,
, The story of Joseph is most familiar
- to all Bible students. " Joseph's early
dream of greatness angered his bro
kers, who planned to murder him
but, at the entreaty of one of them,
they cast him into a pit and finally
sold him into slavery. X 4
As a slave in Potiptiar's home in
Egypt, as a prisoner in the palace of
- Pharaoh and as an interpreter of the
king's double dream, Joseph remained
faithful and true. As a result, he was
elevated to the premiership of Egypt,
, second only to Pharaoh himself,. His
foresight in preparing his country f
for a famine that had been prophesied
resulted not only in saving the people
of Egyptbut also enabled him to be
used to have his father, Jacob, and
his family. , ,
When the famine became more dev-
r, astafing, Jacob sent ten of his sons to
Egypt to buy grain. Joseph recog
nized them as his brothers and sub
jected them to tests, which showed
their deep penitence. Then, he reveal-
, ed himself to his brothers and gave
them every evidence of his full and
free forgiveness. . At Joseph's sug
gestion and at his own expense, Jacob,
with all his household'and property
were invited to come from the famine
smitten hills of Canaan to the pasture
. lands and filled granaries of the Nile
valley. II was hard to convince Jacob
that his long-lost ' son, Joseph ' was
stiir alive and to picture to him fiie
power and glory which Joseph had in
: the court of Pharaoh.
. ' The Egyptian conveyances and the
, costly gift8,.which Joseph had sent. to
his father, could not be denied,. how
ever, and Jacob, old as he was, 130 at
the time, courageously said: ;"I will
go and dee him before I die,. So, in
" the royal, wagons, Jacob, his family,
slaves and all his possessions, set out
for the land of Egypt.
' Jacob was rather troubled about
this migration, however. Abraham had
encountered danger there, Isaac had
been forbidden to go and the old man
wondered if it was for the'hest. At
Beersheba, hia last camping place in
Canaan, Jacob received a divine vision
in which God allayed his fears,, prom
ised to go with him into Egypt, make
hia descendants a great nation and,
eventually, : bring them out tor the
Land of Promise again. So, reassured,
Jacob' and his caravan went toward
Egypt, sending Judah ahead to notify
Joseph of their coining1, r
The-settling of Jacob and his family
in Goshen," the rich lands of Egypt
assigned to them, was a providential
act of treat importance to the human
race. This wandering" Semitic tribe
was to be fused into a nation througn
,the agency of oppre-'5n but, before
' this occurred, they would learn-the
' culture- and arts of the world's most
advanced "and powerful country. Jac
ob lived seventeen years in Egypt On
his deathbed, he made Ma sons prom
ise to bury him, not in Egypt, but back
! in Canaan, in the cave of Machpelah,
beside Abraham; and Isaac and their
wives. riffiXX'yli f"4 vv
Joseph again showed his greatness
of heart when .after their f ather
death, his brothers feared he would
' -visit vengeance upon - them for the
evil they had done to him. Pained at
their distrust of him, Joseph reassur
ed them of his forgiveness, when
he said: "Ye meant evil against me
but God meant it for good." Although
a petted, spoiled,? apparently arrogant
tKy, josepn aeveiopea um an un
'nelfish. kind, noble and brflllaTt man.
He was a wise ruler and a good man,
always relying upon and placing mm
self In God's care.
