A New Study For A New Year: Personalities

Genesis 41:47-57

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 Potipherah 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.

The King James Version

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem

Our Father in Heaven,
How Blessed and Glorious
is Your Most Wonderful and Holy Name!
How Perfect Your Plan and Your Promise,
And How Magnificent Your Precepts and Your Provision.
You See The Beginning From The End,
And The End from The Beginning.
You Are Not Bound By Time And Space,
Because You Created Them in The First Place!
We are so quick to second-guess Your Plan,
to try an "figure You out",
to "Put You on Our Schedule",
When what we SHOULD do is Fall on our faces before You
and Worship You,
With Our Whole Hearts,
Our Whole Minds,
and Our Whole Being!

Let all that has been Concealed
Be Revealed.

Father, We Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins
of Our Own Nation,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance.
Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us.

This we Pray Together,
As We Await Your Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Set Up His Kingdom,
And Make All Things Right.

”The Greatest Of these Is Love.”

We've looked at the Story of Joseph many times in the last 15 years of this Thread. As I noted before, it's my Favorite Old Testament Story. It takes place in one of my favorite parts of the Ancient World, combining Art, Architecture, History, and Real People. Here are some thoughts from a previous Study of Joseph, from 2022:

In the Cold War Era movie "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming", Lt. Rosanov (played by Alan Arkin) has tied up Walt Whitiker (Carl Reiner) and says to him:

"Be absolutely good behaved, Vitiker Valt. Othervise zere is Vorld Var Three and everybody is blaming YOU!"

The look on Reiner's face is priceless. Nobody wants to go down in history as the person who caused a huge disaster. It's not always a good thing to be famous. It is even worse to be INfamous.

The Ancient Egyptians were marvelous sculptors. Their style is so unique that it is instantly recognized in whatever context it appears. And yet, the features of the individuals portrayed seem to be mostly alike. Very few are recognizable as actual people, except perhaps the renegade King Akhenaten, whose physical deformities were difficult to idealize. (His wife Nefertiti, however, is considered by many to be the most beautiful woman that ever lived. Go Figure.) Anyway, the Egyptians thought that Pharaoh was a reincarnation of the God Osiris, and so he was usually depicted to look like Osiris rather than the actual person sitting on the throne.

As the Embodiment of Osiris, Pharaoh had an annual job to do. Since Osiris was the God of Springtime and Rebirth, as well as Fertility, it was his job to control the rise and fall of the River Nile, the germination of crops, and the prevention of famine. Pharaoh's dreams must have struck terror in his his heart. It was as if the whole nation would be saying:

"WE GAVE YOU ONE JOB TO DO!!!"

Then Joseph comes along and interprets the dreams, which confirms Pharaoh's deepest fear. Such a disaster during his reign would surely bring him down, as everybody would be blaming HIM.

The Egyptians had an interesting way of writing history, though. If a king failed, his image and signature would be erased from the record. This wasn't easy, because the records were in stone. But, whatever can be sculpted can also be vandalized, and that's what they did. To this day, we have no idea what the name of the Pharaoh was during the time of Joseph. Now, there is speculation that Joseph's name could have been rendered in Egyptian as "Hotep", and that name shows up a lot. In fact one of the most important characters in Ancient Egypt was a brilliant man named "Imhotep", who was a high official, advisor to the king, artist, physician, and architect.

Another Pharaoh whose name has been lost to History is the Pharaoh of the Exodus. While movies portray him as "Ramses", no record of him exists in stone. The probable reason for this is the systematic erasure of the names of kings who brought shame and defeat to their nation. Better to be not remembered at all than to be remembered for evil was the philosophy I guess.

Even the first Chapter of Exodus indicates that this kind of revision of History was going on, as it tells of "A New Pharaoh Who Didn't Know Joseph". This was 400 years later than our story today. A lot can happen in 400 years.

None of these people would be remembered today if it weren't for the Torah. Thank God for His Holy Word!

Recent studies have speculated that the names of these Pharaohs are hidden in some stones that the Ancients forgot to erase. These stones are called "Stellae" and were like giant Billboards. The Rosetta Stone is a chunk of one of those Stellae. As more and more of Ancient Egypt is dug up and analyzed, more and more of these Bible Stories come to Light. It's a great time to be digging!

Psalm 91

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.
