And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt. Ge nesis 41:14a Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: Isaiah 56:1 Thus said the LORD, Keep you judgment, and do justice: for my salvation (Yeshua) is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which you have, that no man take your crown. Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. 1Co rinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. Ge nesis 41:38,39 And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?" And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "For as much as God has showed you all this, there is none so discreet and wise as you are. Genesis 41:45a And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; Genesis 41:49,50 And Joseph gathered grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number. And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bore unto him. Ge nesis 41:51-53 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house. And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. And the seven years of plenty, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended. Genesis 42:3-5 Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt. But Jacob didn’t send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with his brothers; for he said, “Lest perhaps harm happen to him.” The sons of Israel came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan. Notes: 2 Genesis 42:14-18 And Joseph said to them, That is it that I spoke to you, saying, You are spies: Hereby you shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh you shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come here. Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and you shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely you are spies. And he put them all together into ward three days. And Joseph said to them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God: Genesis 42:19-24 If you be true men, let one of your brothers be bound in the house of your prison: go you, carry corn for the famine of your houses: But bring your youngest brother to me; so shall your words be verified, and you shall not die. And they did so. And they said one to another, We are truly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he sought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come on us. And Reuben answered them, saying, Spoke I not to you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and you would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required. And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spoke to them by an interpreter. And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes. Romans 11:8 (According as it is written, God has given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) to this day. Simeon is held back whose name means to hear. Genesis 42:27,28 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth. And he said to his brothers, My money is restored; and, see, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God has done to us? Genesis 42:37,38 And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to you: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to you again. And he said, My son shall not go down with you; Genesis 43:8,9 And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and you, and also our little ones. I will be surety for him; of my hand shall you require him: if I bring him not to you, and set him before you, then let me bear the blame for ever: Genesis 44:1,2 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth. And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. Genesis 44:8-10 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again to you out of the land of Notes: 3 Canaan: how then should we steal out of your lord's house silver or gold? With whomsoever of your servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's slaves. And he said, Now also let it be according to your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and you shall be blameless.

  • Joseph and Asenath
    JOSEPH AND ASENATH. BY BERNHARD PICK. INTRODUCTION. THE romance of Joseph and Asenath is founded upon the words of Gen. xH. 45 : "And he gave him to wife, Asenath, the daughter of Poti-pherah, priest of On." Later Judaism took offence that Joseph should have married a heathen woman, and the assertion was therefore made that Asenath, whom Dinah bore to Shechem, was brought up by the wife of Poti-pherah, prince of Tanes.^ How- ever this may be, certain it is that this religious romance was once widely known. A fragment of a Greek text of this legend Fabricius published from a Codex Baroccianus in his Codex pseudepigraphns. Vol. H, 85-102 ; but the complete text according to four manuscripts was first published by Batiffol, Studia patristica, etudes d'ancienne littera- ture chretienne, fasc. 1-2, Paris, 1889-1890. pp. 1-87, and this is the one we follow. The Latin text, which was formerly the main source for the knowledge of the legend, is only an extract. It is printed in Vin- centius Belloracensis (13th century), SpecuJiun historiale, Vol. 1, lib. n, cap. 118-124, and reprinted in Fabricius, Codex pseudepi- graphns, I, 774-784. The complete Latin text from which this extract was taken, was discovered by James in two IMSS. of English origin (13th-14th century) at Cambridge, and is given in Batiffol's work, fasc. 2, pp. 89-115.- According to Batift'ol, the translation, like that of the "Testaments of XH Patriarchs," may have been ^ So the Targum Jonathan on Gen. xli. 45. In the Bible we read nothing of Dinah's daughter.

  • Women Prophets
    WOMEN AND THE BIBLE Romans 16:1,7 By Raymond White It’s not that the Bible doesn’t talk about women, it’s just that it talks so much about men that women get overshadowed. This article tries to balance that, give women their due, and maybe discover that the Bible is more about women than we usually think. It’s no secret that the Bible is patriarchal. But then all ancient peoples were patriarchal. So, was the Bible’s patriarchal-ness something that God demanded, locked into his law, or was it just the social patterns of the times? And just how patriarchal was Israel’s society, government, and religion? Were Jewish hierarchies totally patriarchal or just mostly patriarchal? To find out, here is my list of high ranking women in the Bible. [1] WOMEN PROPHETS What exactly is a prophet? We complicate things when we couple that role with other roles such as a prophet is the leader of a church, or a prophet is a priest, or a prophet is one who has a testimony of Jesus Christ, none of which is biblically true. At the bare essentials, a prophet is one to whom God speaks. If we leave it at that, we may find surprises, for instance: Being a prophet has nothing to with the prophet’s righteousness — Balaam [Numbers 22:8] and Caiaphas [John 11:49-52] were both bad men but true prophets. And it has nothing to do with rank — Ezekiel was a prophet priest, Gideon a prophet judge, David a prophet king, and Elijah was just a prophet and nothing else.

    Echoes of the Book of Joseph and Aseneth 5 ECHOES OF THE BOOK OF JOSEPH AND ASENETH, PARTICULARLY IN YNGVARS SAGA VÍÐFÑRLA BY RICHARD COLE University of Notre Dame NE OF THE GREAT JOYS OF READING the Old Testament lies Oin that work’s proclivity for unanswered questions. A case in point is the question of Aseneth, the wife of Joseph of snazzy coat fame. Aseneth appears three times in the Hebrew Bible. She is introduced in Genesis 41:45: ‘And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.’ She appears again fleetingly in Genesis 41:50: ‘And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.’ Finally, and all too soon given how much we are yet to be told of her, she departs from the story in Genesis 46:20: ‘And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.’ We are then left with several points of uncertainty. Is Potipherah the same man as the ‘Potiphar’ of Genesis 37:36, the man whose amorous wife caused Joseph’s false imprisonment? If so, Aseneth must have had an embar- rassing ‘meet the parents’ moment. When or how did Aseneth die? The Bible text provides no answers on that point. Most importantly, from the perspective of Christians and Jews alike, how can it be that Joseph, a Patriarch and pious servant of God, married an Egyptian pagan? Sur- veying only the original scripture, one finds no suggestion that she ever abandoned her native religion.

DISCOVER how Joseph’s love for God and faithfulness helped him find success in Egypt B. ASPIRE to remain steadfast in love and obedience to God when facing extreme hardships C. CELEBRATE God’s providential care in times of suffering Unifying Principle—Love Versus Bitterness. It may be difficult to hold on to dreams of future success when faced with extreme hardships. What inner resources are needed to continue one’s quest for success? Because Joseph loved and obeyed God, he was able to engage in wise and discerning problem-solving that motivated Pharaoh to appoint him second in command over all of Egypt. Key Verse—"39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: 40 Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.” (Genesis 41:39-40, KJV). People Places and Times Dreams. Many divine revelations came through the dreams of various kings, prophets, and ordinary people. God would reveal His plans to those who worshiped Him or to pagans in dreams. In ancient times, the dreams of kings and holy people were considered to have national or international significance.

  • Exegesis Notes on Genesis 401-500
    Exegetical Lessons 401–500 on Genesis When I exegete a book, I tend to get very bogged down in the details and so, I decided to develop a series of a few short lessons on various chapters of the Bible, where I attempt to simply deal with the primary points of each verse without getting too detail-oriented. Each lesson is 4–5 pages long and designed to be read at one sitting. Although it is always nice to have a Bible open when studying this, I have included the actual Scripture within the text. I began this study with a general introduction, followed by introductory lessons to studying the Bible, followed by some introductory lessons to the book of Genesis. These 21 lessons precede the lessons lined to below.

The active 60 year old was Done of 12 vendors who had set up on this gorgeous morning. Dorinda had retired early from her job after being unfairly laid off. She learned only two months later that her company hired a woman half her age. She did not heed the advice of many to sue her old boss. Dorinda had spent the past six months working at her house and volunteering at the nursing home. While she was finan- cially solvent, Dorinda’s checkbook had slimmed down, and she missed working with the public. The activities director walked up and suddenly asked Dorinda what new things she would like to see the residents at the home do. “What about having a fashion show, a carni- val, or taking them out to an oldies concert?” Dorinda said. “Those are great ideas! I believe this is fate,” said the direc- tor. “Would you be interested in replacing me? I am retiring in two months. You have been working with us for the past six months, and you have many great ideas. Your business degree and background make you an excellent candidate, and the staff and the nursing home administrator love you!” “I could see you even more!” exclaimed Dorinda’s mother. “I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how much the job pays,” continued the director. “What do you say?” “I say yes!” said Dorinda. “I didn’t come here for a job, but to be a blessing and help out.” Dorinda’s mother thanked God in her heart.

  • VERSES in the BIBLE DIRECTLY MENTIONING EGYPT from the BOOK of GENESIS to the BOOK of the REVELATION Genesis 12:10 10
    VERSES IN THE BIBLE DIRECTLY MENTIONING EGYPT FROM THE BOOK OF GENESIS TO THE BOOK OF THE REVELATION Genesis 12:10 10. And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine [was] grievous in the land. Genesis 12:11 11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou [art] a fair woman to look upon: Genesis 12:14 14. And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she [was] very fair. Genesis 13:1 1. And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. Genesis 13:10 10. And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it [was] well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [even] as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. Genesis 15:18 18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: Genesis 21:21 21 And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. Genesis 25:18 18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that [is] before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: [and] he died in the presence of all his brethren.
