Time
According to most chronologists
Jacob and his family went down
into Egypt in 1745 B. C., or 3678
years ago. Jacob died in 1698 B. C.
'or 3640 years ago. Joseph died 1643
' B. C. or 3585 years ago.
( Place
Joseph lived at Zoan the capitol
at that time. This city was in the
Nile Delta.
Joseph Makes Hlmselk Known
In the preceding lesson we read
of Judah's offer to give himself as
la plea to reelase Benjamlne that
he might be returned to his father.
| The ume was now at hand for
Joseph to make himself known to
I his brothers. The changes in the
'hearts of those who years before

Then Joseph could no longer re

“Cause every man to go out froth

him while Joseph macle himself

As was to be expected the breth

Joseph before their return to He
bron. In the meantime Pharoah had
learned of their presence, and be- j
cause of the great held that Joseph !
had been to him, he offered them 1
the best of the land of Egypt. He
even provided means and ways for i
moving Jacob's family from Hebron '
to Egypt. I
The Joyful Return to Hebron |
After the boys left on the second
trip to Egypt it is very likely that'
Jacob arose early and scanned the'
horizon toward Egypt for a sight of.
his sons. At last he sam them, I
When they were so far away that
he could not tell how many were
in the company, but when they
.were near enough to be recognized
all eleven of the sons were seen to
be .present and well. And Jacob
readiy saw that - the supply of
food they were briging was far
larger than what the money in
trusted to them would have bought,
not only did he have back all
that.;, he had sent to Egypt, but
niucli; more, but best of all was the
new^i of Joseph whom he had
mourned as lost for years, was well
and that he would again see him.
Jacob and Family Move to Egypt
....Before Jacob departed for Egypt
he has a strong word of assurance
from God through a vision telling
him,that it was the divine will that
he should leave his old home and
go down into Egypt and that God
would make of his family a gerat
nation, and that in due season
woultt bring back h}s people into i
the land that he had promised
them. Jacob was now 130 years of
age. Joseph was 30 yiears old when
he first arrived in Egypt. Including
son and grandsons' there was
seventy of the family when they
departed for their new home.
When Joseph Meets His Father
It is not hard to imiagine the feel
ing of Jacob and Joseph when they
met. Jacob sent Juclah ahead to
lead the way to Goshen. Judah was
once more honored. , He had proved
hir. worth in his attitude to Joseph
in the matter of Benjamine and
now Jacob could trust him to lean
upon has his first born.
When Joseph came to meet his
father he presented himself unto
him and fell upon his neck and
wept. No wonder that Jacob said
with Joseph now let me die since
I hjjive seen thy face because thou
are yet alive.
Jacob's Last Days
At last Jacob feels that he is
nearing the end of his earthly life.
There was a wish over which he
had long pondered, and he wanted
his mind set at rest. He sends for
Joseph and exacts a promise from
him that when the end came he
wanted to be buried; in the cave at
- Machpelah. He charged all his sons
ti grant him this request. His fath
er and mothqr were all buried in
the old home land. He wanted to
rest- along by the side of them,
The Prophesy Concerning
The Twelve Sons
This prophesy as recorded in
Genesis 49:1-28; this remarkable
chapter deserves our most careful
attention.’ I This is the longest
