Genesis 25

Genesis 44:25—45:28

The amazing story of Joseph continues as his identity is revealed and he invites his family to live with him in Egypt. Follow along as Dr. McGee reminds us that, like Joseph, we may not always see God’s hand in our lives, but we can trust He is present and working for our good.

Genesis 43:16—44:28

Joseph’s brothers (that nearly killed him, and instead sold him into slavery) are back, and a family reunion is about to take place. Walk through these important pages of Scripture with Dr. McGee as he points out how Joseph’s heart and actions parallel those of Jesus Himself.

Genesis 42:15—43:15

The exciting story of Joseph and his brothers continues as Joseph (still unknown to them) demands his brothers go home and bring Benjamin back with them. Leaving Simeon behind as insurance they would return, the brothers arrive home and tell their father of the demand for Benjamin in return for food. Unsure, Jacob has no choice, because they are starving.

Genesis 41:46—42:14

The story of God’s providential hand in the life of Joseph continues as we see that he’s been fast tracked to leadership in Egypt. As Joseph leads the movement to store food in the cities, his personal life also expands with the birth of two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. As the famine begins, Jacob forces his sons to buy corn in Egypt. Joseph recognizes his brothers, but as they bow down, they do not recognize him.

Genesis 41:1-45

“Rags to riches” is how Dr. McGee describes this portion of our study. Last time we saw Joseph, he was still in prison. But as God’s hand continues to move in his life, Pharoah begins to have dreams, and none of his magicians or wise men can interpret them. Suddenly the butler remembers Joseph and tells Pharoah. Joseph interprets Pharaoh’s dreams, tells him about the upcoming years of plenty vs. famine, and Joseph is made overseer of all Egypt.
