Joseph Genesis Wikipedia. Joseph Recognized by His Brothers 1. Will There Be A Hathaway Series here. Lon Pierre Urbain BourgeoisJoseph Hebrew meaning Increase,1Standard. Yosef. Tiberian. Ysp Arabic Ysuf or Ysif Ancient Greek Isph is an important figure in the Bibles Book of Genesis and also in the Quran. Sold into slavery by his jealous brothers, he rose to become vizier, the second most powerful man in Egypt next to Pharaoh, where his presence and office caused Israel to leave Canaan and settle in Egypt. The composition of the story can be dated to the period between the 7th century BCE and the third quarter of the 5th century BCE, which is roughly the period to which scholars date the Book of Genesis. In Rabbinic tradition, Joseph is considered the ancestor of another Messiah called, Mashiach ben Yosef. He will wage war against the evil forces alongside Mashiach ben David and die in combat with the enemies of God and Israel. Biblical narrativeeditJoseph, son of Jacob and Rachel, lived in the land of Canaan with ten half brothers, one full brother, and at least one half sister. He was Rachels firstborn and Jacobs eleventh son. Of all the sons, Joseph was preferred by his father, and this is represented by a long coat of many colors. When Joseph was seventeen years old he had two dreams that made his brothers plot his demise. In the first dream, Joseph and his brothers gathered bundles of grain, of which those his brothers gathered, bowed to his own. In the second dream, the sun father, the moon mother, and eleven stars brothers bowed to Joseph himself. These dreams, implying his supremacy, angered his brothers. Genesis 3. 7 1 1. Plot against JosepheditJosephs half brothers were jealous of him Genesis 3. Dothan, most of them plotted to kill him, with the exception of Reuben,56 who suggested to have Joseph thrown into an empty cistern, intending to rescue Joseph himself. Unaware of this secondary intention, the others obeyed his first. Upon imprisoning Joseph, the brothers saw a camel caravan carrying spices and perfumes to Egypt, and sold Joseph to these merchants. Thereafter the guilty brothers painted goats blood on Josephs coat9 and showed it to Jacob, who therefore believed Joseph dead. Genesis 3. 7 1. 2 3. Potiphars houseeditUltimately, Joseph was sold to Potiphar, the captain of Pharaohs guard. Later, Joseph became Potiphars personal servant, and subsequently his households superintendent. Here, Potiphars wife Zuleika tried to seduce Joseph, which he refused. Angered by his running away from her, she made a false accusation of rape, and thus assured his imprisonment. Genesis 3. 9 1 2. Joseph interpreting the dreams of the baker and the cupbearer, by Benjamin Cuyp, ca. Joseph in prisoneditThe warden put Joseph in charge of the other prisoners,1. Pharaohs chief cup bearer and chief baker, who had offended the Pharaoh, were thrown into the prison,1. Joseph, who stated that the chief cup bearer would be reinstated but the chief baker would be hanged. Joseph requested the cup bearer to mention him to Pharaoh and secure his release from prison,1. Joseph. 1. 6 After two more years, the Pharaoh dreamt of seven lean cows which devoured seven fat cows and of seven withered ears of grain which devoured seven fat ears. When the Pharaohs advisers failed to interpret these dreams, the cup bearer remembered Joseph. Joseph was then summoned. He interpreted the dream as seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine, and advised the Pharaoh to store surplus grain. Vizier of EgypteditFollowing the prediction, Joseph became Vizier, under the name of Zaphnath Paaneah,1. Asenath, the daughter of Potipherah, priest of On,1. During the seven years of abundance, Joseph ensured that the storehouses were full and that all produce was weighed. In the sixth year, Asenath bore two children to Joseph Manasseh and Ephraim. When the famine came, it was so severe that people from surrounding nations came to Egypt to buy bread. The narrative also indicates that they went straight to Joseph or were directed to him, even by the Pharaoh himself. Genesis 4. 1 3. 7 5. As a last resort, all of the inhabitants of Egypt, less the Egyptian priestly class, sold their properties to Joseph for seed wherefore Joseph set a mandate that, because the people would be sowing and harvesting seed on government property, a fifth of the produce should go to the Pharaoh. This mandate lasted until the days of Moses. Genesis 4. 7 2. 0 3. Brothers sent to Egyptedit. Joseph gave orders to his servants to fill their sacks with wheat illuminated Bible by Raphal de Mercatelli, Ghent, late 1. In the second year of famine,1. Josephs half brothers were sent to Egypt to buy goods. When they came to Egypt, they stood before the Vizier but did not recognize him as their brother Joseph, who was now in his late 3. Joseph did recognize them and did not speak at all to them in his native tongue of Hebrew. After questioning them, he accused them of being spies. After they mentioned a younger brother at home, the Vizier Joseph demanded that he be brought to Egypt as a demonstration of their veracity. This was Josephs full brother, Benjamin. Joseph placed his brothers in prison for three days. On the third day, he brought them out of prison to reiterate that he wanted their youngest brother brought to Egypt to demonstrate their veracity. The brothers conferred amongst themselves speaking in Hebrew, reflecting on the wrong they had done to Joseph. Joseph understood what they were saying and removed himself from their presence because he was caught in emotion. When he returned, the Vizier took Simeon and bound him as a hostage. Then he had their donkeys prepared with grain and sent the other brothers back to Canaan. Unbeknownst to them, Joseph had also returned their money to their money sacks. Genesis 4. 2 1 2. The silver cupeditThe remaining brothers returned to their father in Canaan, and told him all that had transpired in Egypt. They also discovered that all of their money sacks still had money in them, and they were dismayed. Then they informed their father that the Vizier demanded that Benjamin be brought before him to demonstrate that they were honest men. Jacob became greatly distressed feeling that they treated him badly. After they had consumed all of the grain that they brought back from Egypt, Jacob told his sons to go back to Egypt for more grain.
