lC—Jeaeph and the Migration to Egypt.
The seed promised Abraham,
titreogb which the world was to be
blessed, was fulfilled m the giving of
Isaac. Os Isaac’s two sons, Jacob,
the younger, whs chosen. To Jacob
was given twelte sons. They became
the heads of the Twelve Tribes of
Israel. Joseph, a son of Rachel, Ja
cob’s beloved wife, was especially
loved by his father. Because of the
partiality shown by Jacob, Joseph’s
brethren hated him. This hatred was
fanned into flame by his making known
to his brethren certain dreams. There
fore, when his father sent him to in
quire after the welfare of his brethren,
they sold him a slave to Midiunite
merchantmen who in turn sold him to
the Egyptians. Under a false charge,
made by Potiphar’s wicked wife, he
was cust into prison. Through the
interpretation of a dream of one
oi Pharaoh's servants, and later
1 itaraoh’s dream, Joseph was provi
t entially exalted to be Prime Minister
< Egypt. He put on a great eonserva
t on scheme, which provided against
t e bitter famine which case upon all
ti at country. This sojourn in Egypt

Q. d, welded them into s nation, trans
fer.ned them from a nomadic to a set
tle life, and gave them acquaintance
with the material advancement of
their time.
I. Joseph Presents His Father and
Five Brethren to Pharaoh (Gen.
47:1-6).
1. Pharaoh’s Invitation (Gen. 45 :-
16-19). Jacob and his sons were in
Egypt by Pharaoh’s invitation. Joseph
went out to the land of Goshen to
meet them. Though now occupying
an exalted position, Joseph was not
ashamed of his father even though he
was a plain country man.
2. Joseph’s Tact (vv. 1,2; cf. 46:30-
84).
(1) In introducing his father and
brethren In a personal way, thus
capitalizing his own influence in favor
of his kin. Pnraoh had high regard
for Joseph; therefore would do much
for them for Joseph’s sake. God does
much for us for Jesus’ sake.
(2) In having his father and breth
ren come to Goshen (Gen. 45:10).
Since possession is “nine points of the
law,” they were already in Goshen
before asking Pharaoh for permission
to occupy it (v. 4).
(3) In coaching his brethren (Gen.
46:34). He taught them beforehand
what to say, because he knew how
awkward they would be in the pres
ence of the great king. Our Joseph,
Jesus Christ, teaches us how to pray
and what to pray for.
(4) In choosing five, not all (v. 2).
In all probability he chose the five
who would make the best appearance.
He knew the great importance of first
Impressions.
S. Their Request to Pharaoh (w.
8,4). Joseph anticipated Pharaoh’s
questions and put the proper words
into their mouths to use in making
their desires known to Pharaoh: “Let
thy servants dwell in Goshen.”
4. Pharaoh’s Response (vv. 5,6).
(1) His gracious offer. They were
to enjoy the best of the land accord
ing to their choice. He dealt with
tbSED very liberally.
(2) Positions of trust offered to cap
able men among them. He knew how
capable Joeeph was and surmised that
some of his brethren might be like
wise gifted. This gracious offer was
because they were related to Joseph.
IL Jacob Blessing Pharaoh (vv.
T-k»).
Though Pharaoh was the great king
and Jacob now a supplicant at his feet
receiving natural blessings, yet moral
ly Jacob waa above Pharaoh and
therefore conferred blessings upon him.
This humble saint of God is higher in
dignity than earth’s greatest king.
Jacob discloses his own estimate of
the earthly life of the believer. He
calls it a pilgrimage of short duration.
111. Joseph Nourishes His Father
and Brethren (vv. 11, 12).
1. He placed them in the best of
the land, according as Pharaoh had
commanded (v. 11).
2. He nourished them (v. 12). Since
there was no bread in all the land to
be obtained except as dispensed by
Joseph, he distributed to them ac
cording to their needs. Our Joseph,
Jesus Christ, supplies all our needs ac
cording to his riches in glory.
Need of Prays r.
Deeper than the need of men, deep
er than the need of money, aye, deep
down within this spiritless life of ours
is the need of world-wide prevailing
prayer.—Robert K. Speer.
Steadfast.
What men may think or say or do
cannot silence him jvho Is filled with
the grace of God. —S. J. Pattor.
A Means of Escape.
A lie is always the coward’s way
out of difficulty,—Christian Cynosure.
