Genesis: The Beginning
Slavery for Joseph 2-2-16
READ: Genesis 37
Yesterday, we read about the rape of Dinah, revenge of her brothers, and Jacob’s [Israel’s] subsequent return to Bethel. I did not spend time on Genesis 36, but please read it and realize the entire chapter is about Esau’s twelve sons; His family goes from tribal structure to kingship. Today, we will read about Joseph and his big dreams; those dreams land him in slavery. Look for the (glimpses) of how Joseph’s life foreshadows the life of Jesus.
