Joseph's Dreams
Joseph's Dreamed a Dream Foreshadowing His Future Power,
Which Increased the Hatred of His Brethren
Joseph's Brothers Sold Him = Type of the last days = 6th
trump and 7th trump
Genesis 37:1 And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger,
in the land of Canaan.
2 These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was
feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad
was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's
wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of
his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
-
Coat =
with long sleeves, worn only by
the chief and his heir. This the first cause of
brothers' enmity.
-
Colours = Not "pieces". Marking it as
priestly or royal
-
Joseph brothers were jealous of him because
Jacob loved him more
4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his
brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
-
Joseph brothers hated him,
and could not speak peaceably unto him
5 And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him
yet the more.
-
Joseph dreamed a dream
-
Joseph still has done nothing wrong, but his
brothers were very jealous of him and hated him.
6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this
dream which I have dreamed:
-
Joseph wanted tell his
brothers about his dream, they didn't want to
talk with him
7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose,
and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and
made
obeisance to my sheaf.
-
Made
obeisance to my sheaf =
bow down to him
-
The Lord's Day = The first day of the
Millennium. All nations shall come and worship before
thee. Because you are with Christ

Christ returns and gathers His elect what happens on the first day of
the Millennium

All nations shall come and worship before
thee = Because you are with Christ
-
Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and
every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and
all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so,
Amen.
-
They = all on the left side of the
gulf in heaven
-
Matthew 24:31 And he shall send his angels with
a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect
from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
-
What happens after the 7th vial = God's wrath
pour out on all that followed Satan

The Lord's Day = The first day of the
Millennium = All nations shall come and worship before
thee = why = you are with Christ

Revelation
15:2 And I saw as it were a
sea of glass mingled with fire: and them
that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over
his
image, and over his mark,
and
over the number of his name,
stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of
God.
-
Overcomes = God's very elect
-
Beast = Satan' one world order
3 And they
sing the
song of Moses
the servant of God, and the song of the
Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are
thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are
thy ways, thou King of saints.
4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and
glorify thy name? for thou only art
holy: for all nations shall come and
worship before thee; for thy judgments are made
manifest.
5 And after that I looked, and, behold,
the temple of the tabernacle of the
testimony in
heaven was opened:
-
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new
heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth
were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John
saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of
heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
-
The millennium Temple in
Ezekiel 48:35 It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the
city from that day shall be, The Lord is there.
8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou
indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams,
and for his words.
-
Will Joseph dream come to pass? Yes = Genesis 42
9 And he dreamed
yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold,
I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the
sun and the moon and the
eleven
stars made obeisance to me.
-

-
Eleven stars = the eleven signs of the Zodiac,
Joseph being the twelfth.
-
Numbers 2:2 = Every man of the children of
Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the
ensign of their father's house: far off about
the tabernacle of the congregation shall they
pitch.
-
Ensign = Each standard is said to have had as
its "sign" one of the twelve constellations
-
One standard, with its sign on it
for each tribe.
-
Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven;
a woman clothed with
the sun, and the
moon under her feet, and upon
her head a crown of twelve
stars:
-
This verse, as we all know, this
woman is speaking of mother Israel.
-
Twelve stars - The zodiac
representing the tribes of Israel.
-
It is always translated "wonder", and occurs
three times in three of the Gospels:
-
Matthew 24:24. Mark 13:22. John
4:48.
-
Made obeisance to me = Genesis 42:6
And
Joseph was the governor over the land,
and he it was that
sold to all the
people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came,
and bowed down themselves before him
with
their faces to the earth.
10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and
his father
rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast
dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down
ourselves to thee to the earth?
-
Will Joseph dream come to pass? Yes = Genesis 42
-
Genesis 42:6
And Joseph was the governor
over the land, and he sold to all the
people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came,
and bowed down themselves before him with
their faces to the earth.
11 And his brethren
envied him; but his father observed the
saying.
12 And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem?
come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
-
Did Joseph do anything wrong?
-
No, Joseph told his family his dream and they
envied him they wanted to kill him
14 And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy
brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out
of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
-
Shechem = ridge; Shekem, a place in Palestine
15 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and
the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
16 And he said,
I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where
they feed their flocks.
17 And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to
Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in
Dothan.
18 And when
they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they
conspired against him to slay him.
-
Joseph's brothers conspired against him to
kill
him.
19 And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
-
His brothers said this, this dreamer
cometh = they were mocking him
-
Just like today, when you
tell your family they are not going to be
rapture. What do they do? They call your pastor,
your brothers, sister to come and help you..
they act like your crazy..
-
We have two pastors in our
family, so you know I got mocked for years and
still get mocked. I was taught as a child in
school school.. we moved to another state and I
started watching the Shepherds Chapel..I didn't
know anything about the rapture until about
1980..
20 Come now therefore, and
let us slay him, and
cast him into some pit, and
we
will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall
see what will become
of his dreams.
-
Joseph's own brothers wants to kill him
-
They wanted to put him into a pit
-
Now they are going to lie to their father,
we
will say, Some evil beast
hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become
of his dreams.
21 And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said,
Let
us not kill him.
-
Reuben said Let us not kill him
22 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood,
but cast him into this pit that is
in the wilderness,
23 And it came to pass, when
Joseph was come unto his brethren,
that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of
many colours that was on him;
24 And
they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was
empty, there was no water in it.
25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes
and looked, and, behold, a company of
Ishmeelites came from
Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh,
going to carry it down to Egypt.
-
Ishmeelites
called Midianites.
-
Genesis 37:28
Then there passed by
Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted
up Joseph out of the pit, and
sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for
twenty pieces of silver:
and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
-
Genesis 37:36
And the Midianites sold him
into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of
Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
-
Ishmael was the son of Abraham by Hagar
26 And
Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it
if we
slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
27 Come, and
let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and
let not our
hand be upon him; for he is
our brother and our flesh. And his
brethren were content.
-
Once the 6th trump sounds we go into one world
order. God's very elect are with the two witnesses. Your family will
think Satan's christ, when they see you are with the two witnesses,
they want to save you and help.. They will have you deliver up.

man of sin be revealed, the
son of perdition;
4
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or
that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple
of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5 Remember ye
not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
-
Rev 13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the
saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over

are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain
from the foundation of the world.

maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the
means of those miracles which he had power to do in the
sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that
they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a
sword, and did live.
-
This happen on earth, Satan can snap his fingers and make lightning
appear, and all men will actually see this.
Satan has great
wonders, maketh fire come down from heaven. Fire =
lightning, Satan can cause lightning to come down out of heaven Revelation 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working

give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine

shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

shall be saved.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by
Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth
understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
Revelation 8:1 There was silence in heaven about
1/2 hour - Michael cast out Satan = 2 1/2 months
Revelation 12:7 And there was war in heaven:
Michael and his angels fought against the
dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, 8 And
prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil,
and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:
he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
When ye
shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the
prophet
Where
it
ought not, Means he..

Joseph was falsely accused by
Potiphar wife and thrown into prison, where he
remained at least two years, interpreting
during this time the dreams of the cupbearer and the baker.
Genesis 40:1 And it came to pass after these things, that the
butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their
lord the king of Egypt.
2 And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the
chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the
guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was
bound.
4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he
served them: and they continued a season in ward.
5 And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in
one night, each man according to the interpretation of his
dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were
bound in the prison.
6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon
them, and, behold, they were sad.
7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward
of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?
8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is
no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not
interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.
9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream,
behold, a vine was before me;
10 And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her
blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them
into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
12 And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three
branches are three days:
13 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto
thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former
manner when thou wast his butler.
14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray
thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this
house:
15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also
have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto
Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my
head:
17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh;
and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three
baskets are three days:
19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall
hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
20 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made
a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and
of the chief baker among his servants.
21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the
cup into Pharaoh's hand:
22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
Genesis 41:1 And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh
dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
2 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and
fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
3 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill
favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the
river.
4 And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured
and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
5 And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold,
seven ears of corn came
up upon one stalk, rank and good.
6 And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after
them.
7 And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh
awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
8 And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent
and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and
Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto
Pharaoh.
9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this
day:
10 Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the
guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
11 And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according
to the interpretation of his dream.
12 And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of
the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man
according to his dream he did interpret.
13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto
mine office, and him he hanged.
14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the
dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto
Pharaoh.
15 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that
can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a
dream to interpret it.
16 And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh
an answer of peace.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of
the river:
18 And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well
favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
19 And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured
and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
20 And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
21 And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten
them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and
good:
23 And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind,
sprung up after them:
24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the
magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
25 And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed
Pharaoh what he is about to do.
26 The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years:
the dream is one.
27 And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven
years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years
of famine.
28 This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do
he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all
the land of
Egypt:
30 And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty
shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
31 And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine
following; for it shall be very grievous.
32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the
thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
33 Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over
the land of Egypt.
34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up
the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
35 And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up
corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
36 And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of
famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through
the famine.
37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his
servants.
38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man
in whom the Spirit of God is?
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.
41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of
Egypt.
42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand,
and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried
before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man
lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him to wife
Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all
the land of Egypt.
46 And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt.
And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the
land of Egypt.
47 And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of
Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was
round about every city, laid he up in the same.
49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left
numbering; for it was without number.
50 And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which
Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bare unto him.
51 And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath
made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
52 And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to
be
fruitful in the land of my affliction.
53 And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were
ended.
54 And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said:
and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for
bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to
you, do.
56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And
Joseph opened all the
storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land
of Egypt.
57 And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn;
because that the famine was so sore in all lands
Did Joseph dream come to pass?
Genesis 42:6 And Joseph was the governor over the land,
and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and
Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him
with their faces to the earth.

head a crown of twelve stars:
-
Twelve stars are
the 12 tribes of Israel. Remember the Levi (the
Zadok) didn't get any inheritance of land for
God is their inheritances.
-
Deuteronomy 10:8 At that time the LORD
separated the tribe of Levi, to
bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to
stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and
to bless in his name, unto this day.
-
Ezekiel 40:46 And the chamber whose
prospect is toward the north is
for the priests, the keepers of the charge of
the altar: these
are
the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi,
which come near
to the LORD to minister unto him.
-
Deuteronomy 10:9 Wherefore Levi hath no
part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD
is his inheritance, according as the LORD
thy God promised him.
-
Joseph's son making 13 tribes, the Levi the sons
of the Zadok being God's very elect;
-
Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth
with the woman, and went to make war with the
remnant of her seed, which keep the
commandments of God, and have
the testimony of Jesus Christ.
-
Ezekiel 44:10 And
the Levites that are gone away far from me,
when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me
after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
-
The 144,000 that have followed Satan, and
because of this iniquity they are given charge
of the Lord's house and shall minister to the
people, but they may
not
come near to the Lord.
-
144,000 will be
sealed with the Seal of God in their forehead,
but they don't believe the truth until the 7,000
are delivered up.
-
John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The
hour is coming, and now is, when the dead
(spiritually dead to God's word) shall
hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear
shall live.
7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto
them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And
they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew
not him.
9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them,
and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
11 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.
12 And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
13 And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the
land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one
is not.
14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying,
Ye are spies:
15 Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth
hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye 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 ye are spies.
17 And he put them all together into ward three days.
18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your
prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and
ye shall not die. And they did so.
21 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in
that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear;
therefore is this distress come upon us.
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin
against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is
required.
23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an
interpreter.
24 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.
25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every
man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did
he unto them.
26 And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
27 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.
28 And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in
my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to
another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
29 And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him
all that befell unto them; saying,
30 The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for
spies of the country.
31 And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
32 We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is
this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
33 And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that
ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the
famine of your households, and be gone:
34 And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no
spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye
shall traffick in the land.
35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's
bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the
bundles of money, they were afraid.
36 And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children:
Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these
things are against me.
37 And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him
not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
38 And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and
he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then
shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
Genesis 43:1 And the famine was sore in the land.
2 And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought
out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.
3 And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us,
saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
5 But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us,
Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
6 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether
ye had yet a brother?
7 And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred,
saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him
according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would
say, Bring your brother down?
8 And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise
and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little
ones.
9 I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him
not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
10 For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
11 And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take
of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a
present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and
almonds:
12 And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in
the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an
oversight:
13 Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
14 And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your
other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.
15 And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and
Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
16 And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house,
Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me
at noon.
17 And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's
house.
18 And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and
they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time
are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and
take us for bondmen, and our asses.
19 And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with
him at the door of the house,
20 And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
21 And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and,
behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full
weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
22 And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell
who put our money in our sacks.
23 And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father,
hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon
out unto them.
24 And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and
they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
25 And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard
that they should eat bread there.
26 And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their
hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
27 And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old
man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
28 And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive.
And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
-
Genesis 37:9 And he dreamed yet another dream,
and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a
dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven
stars made obeisance to me.
-
Compare to = Revelation 12:1 And
there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman
clothed with the sun, and the moon under her
feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
29 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son,
and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said,
God be gracious unto thee, my son.
30 And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he
sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
31 And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on
bread.
32 And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the
Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might
not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the
Egyptians.
33 And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the
youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.
34 And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess
was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with
him.
Genesis 44:1 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.
2 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.
3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their
asses.
4 And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto
his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say
unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye
have done evil in so doing.
6 And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that
thy servants should do according to this thing:
8 Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto
thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house
silver or gold?
9 With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also
will be my lord's bondmen.
10 And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is
found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
11 Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened
every man his sack.
12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the
cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
13 Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to
the city.
14 And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and
they fell before him on the ground.
15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not
that such a man as I can certainly divine?
16 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or
how
shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants:
behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is
found.
17 And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the
cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto
your father.
18 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray
thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy
servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
20 And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his
old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his
mother, and his father loveth him.
21 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set
mine eyes upon him.
22 And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for
if he should
leave his father, his father would die.
23 And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down
with you, ye shall see my face no more.
24 And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him
the words of my lord.
25 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
26 And we said, We cannot go down: if our
youngest brother be with us, then will
we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be
with us.
27 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two
sons:
28 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I
saw him not since:
29 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring
down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with
us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;
31 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that
he
will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our
father with sorrow to the grave.
32 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring
him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
33 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a
bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
34 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest
peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
Genesis 45:1 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.
2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me
hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
6 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.
7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to
save your lives by a great deliverance.
8 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.
9 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:
10 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:
11 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.
12 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is
my mouth that speaketh unto you.
13 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.
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept
upon his neck.
15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his
brethren talked with him.
16 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren
are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your
beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
18 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.
19 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.
20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
21 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.
22 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.
23 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.
24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See
that ye fall not out by the way.
25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob
their father,
26 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.
27 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:
28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see
him before I die.

strength of faith.

Genesis 45:26 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.
Genesis 46:1 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to
Beer-sheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
2 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob.
And he said, Here am I.
3 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt;
for I will there make of thee a great nation:
4 I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up
again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
5 And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their
father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had
sent to carry him.
6 And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land
of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
7 His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters,
and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
8 And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt,
Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
9 And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
10 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar,
and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
11 And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
12 And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zerah: but
Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and
Hamul.
13 And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.
14 And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
15 These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padan-aram, with his
daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and
three.
16 And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi,
and Areli.
17 And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah
their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel.
18 These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these
she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.
19 The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
20 And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which
Asenath the daughter of Poti-pherah priest of On bare unto him.
-
Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh
and Ephraim
21 And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and
Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
22 These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were
fourteen.
-
Four-teen: Being a multiple of seven,
partakes of its significance; and, being double that number, implies a double
measure of spiritual perfection.
The number two with which it is combined (2x7) may, however, bring its own
significance into its meaning, as in Matthew 1, where the genealogy of Jesus
Christ is divided up and given in sets of 14 (2x7) generations, two being the
number associated with incarnation.
The same principle may be applied to other multiples of seven, and Bible
students can find their own illustrations.
23 And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
24 And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
25 These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and
she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.
26 All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins,
besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;
27 And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the
souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.
-
Threescore and ten = 70
-
Threescore and ten = 7 x 10

28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and
they came into the land of Goshen.
29 And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to
Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his
neck a good while.
30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face,
because thou art yet alive.
31 And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go up,
and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which
were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
32 And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they
have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What
is your occupation?
34 That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth
even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of
Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
