A New Study For A New Year: Personalities

Genesis 41

41 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 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.

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.

A few days ago, I got a phone call from a dear friend who is on the daily mailing list for this thread. She told me that she reads them every day, and was amazed at the Human Personalities of the Characters. She told me that she had tried reading the Bible a couple of times but always got stuck in the genealogies. This was her first acquaintance with the personalities of the Big, Unruly Family, who were the Progenitors of our Western Religion and Culture.

I can't even begin to describe how precious and validating my Friend's words were to me! (Thanks, D. I know you're reading this.)

What was really interesting was that this particular friend was the one who originally introduced ME to Dostoevsky, nearly 60 years ago.

Thanks to my Friend, I became a big fan of Dostoyevsky. During the Summer between 9th and 10th Grade (1965), I read "Crime and Punishment", "The Idiot", and "The Brothers Karamazov". That same Summer, I read "The Bridge on the Drina" (about the Balkans), and "And Quiet Flows the Don" which was about the region now known as The Ukraine. In fact, it was in the latter that I discovered that Pete Seeger DID NOT write "Where Have All The Flowers Gone", a song I played on guitar. Just like the way he lifted the Lyrics to "Turn, Turn, Turn" from the Third Chapter of Ecclesiastes, Seeger lifted the lyrics to "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" from a Cossack Folk Song. It was at that point in my tender, folk-singing years that I began to view the man, not as an artist, but as a dishonest person with an agenda. (I Was RIGHT, by the way.) I think Bob Dylan and I figured Seeger out at approximately the same time. Anyway...back to those dark, dystopian Russian Novels.

Although I devoured Dostoevsky, Turgenev, Pasternak, and Sholokhov, I didn't attempt Tolstoy till I was much older. I was surprised to find him less dense and depressing than all the others. In War and Peace, I was surprised by a whole chapter about Bees that was a startling metaphor for a deserted city that had once been sparkling with Civilization and Culture. The opening line of Anna Karenina is so amazing that Vladimir Nabokov twisted it around to make it the opening line of his own novel, "Lolita".

Here is the famous line from Anna Karenina:

Все счастливые семьи похожи друг на друга, каждая несчастливая семья несчастлива по-своему.
Vse schastlivyye sem'i pokhozhi drug na druga, kazhdaya neschastlivaya sem'ya neschastliva po-svoyemu.
(Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.)

Have you noticed a theme running all through Genesis? It is about a Family.

It traces a chain of People, from Adam and Eve to Joseph and his brothers. From the very first crime of murder (Cain and Abel) through Noah's Sons, Abraham and Lot, Isaac and Ishmael, Esau and Jacob, and now Joseph vs. ten other brothers, we see family conflict. However, every conflict (except the murder of Abel) results in a Reconciliation. The Reconciliation often occurs when there is a Death in the Family, but not always. In Joseph's situation, it is the prospect of Death by Starvation that gets the ball rolling towards a tearful reunion.

When we finish Genesis, there is a gap of over 400 years before the story of this big, "unhappy" family continues. And, while the story is unique, it is also familiar, as, while unhappy families are all unhappy in their own way, they are also human beings, and by nature, sinners. While the situations may differ, and the era depicted millenia in the past, the emotions, needs, and reactions are familiar to all of us. These are REAL People!

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

”Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.” (Hosea 6:3 NIV)

I’m impressed how well read you are. It takes lots of brains and gumption to get through those Russian novels.

Amen to your prayer and word. Even good families have difficulties and drama, but certainly better than bad families. jus sayn
