Page 3 / 46 (Gen 34:19–Exo 4:30)
The young man did not delay doing this, because he was delighted with Jacob’s daughter. Now he was the most important in all his father’s family.
God said to Jacob, “Get up! Go to Bethel and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”
“We must get up and go to Bethel. I will build an altar there to the God who answered me in my day of distress. He has been with me everywhere I have gone.”
Now Israel loved Joseph more than his other sons because Joseph was a son born to him in his old age, and he made a long-sleeved robe[fn] for him.
When his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made everything he did successful,
“No one in this house is greater than I am. He has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do this immense evil, and how could I sin against God? ”
Now one day he went into the house to do his work, and none of the household servants were there.[fn]
When his master heard the story his wife told him — “These are the things your slave did to me” — he was furious
The warden put all the prisoners who were in the prison under Joseph’s authority,[fn] and he was responsible for everything that was done there.
The warden did not bother with anything under Joseph’s authority,[fn] because the LORD was with him, and the LORD made everything that he did successful.
“But when all goes well for you, remember that I was with you. Please show kindness to me by mentioning me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this prison.
“For I was kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should put me in the dungeon.”[fn]
On the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, he gave a feast for all his servants. He elevated[fn] the chief cupbearer and the chief baker among his servants.
Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, “Pharaoh’s dreams mean the same thing. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.
“Since the dream was given twice to Pharaoh, it means that the matter has been determined by God, and he will carry it out soon.
“Let Pharaoh do this: Let him appoint overseers over the land and take a fifth of the harvest of the land of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.
When the whole land of Egypt was stricken with famine, the people cried out to Pharaoh for food. Pharaoh told all Egypt, “Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you.”
“Bring your youngest brother to me so that your words can be confirmed; then you won’t die.” And they consented to this.
Joseph then gave orders to fill their containers with grain, return each man’s silver to his sack, and give them provisions for their journey. This order was carried out.
He said to his brothers, “My silver has been returned! It’s here in my bag.” Their hearts sank. Trembling, they turned to one another and said, “What has God done to us? ”
Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Put some of the best products of the land in your packs and take them down to the man as a gift — a little balsam and a little honey, aromatic gum and resin, pistachios and almonds.
“Put my cup, the silver one, at the top of the youngest one’s bag, along with the silver for his grain.” So he did as Joseph told him.
“Isn’t this the cup that my master drinks from and uses for divination? What you have done is wrong! ’ ”
They said to him, “Why does my lord say these things? Your servants could not possibly do such a thing.
“What have you done? ” Joseph said to them. “Didn’t you know that a man like me could uncover the truth by divination? ”
Then Joseph said, “I swear that I will not do this. The man in whose possession the cup was found will be my slave. The rest of you can go in peace to your father.”
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals and go on back to the land of Canaan.
“You are also commanded to tell them, ‘Do this: Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your dependents and your wives and bring your father here.
The sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had commanded, and he gave them provisions for the journey.
When the time approached for him to die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “If I have found favor with you, put your hand under my thigh and promise me that you will deal with me in kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt.
“When I rest with my ancestors, carry me away from Egypt and bury me in their burial place.”
Joseph answered, “I will do what you have asked.”
When they reached the threshing floor of Atad, which is across the Jordan, they lamented and wept loudly, and Joseph mourned seven days for his father.
“You planned evil against me; God planned it for good to bring about the present result — the survival of many people.
The midwives, however, feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt had told them; they let the boys live.
So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and asked them, “Why have you done this and let the boys live? ”
“Go and assemble the elders of Israel and say to them: The LORD, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, has appeared to me and said: I have paid close attention to you and to what has been done to you in Egypt.
“But when I stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all my miracles that I will perform in it, after that, he will let you go.
“You will speak with him and tell him what to say. I will help both you and him to speak[fn] and will teach you both what to do.
The LORD instructed Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, make sure you do before Pharaoh all the wonders that I have put within your power. But I will harden his heart[fn] so that he won’t let the people go.
