GENESIS 98 - Gen. 46:34 and 47:1-31 - Hebrews Bought Into the Wrong Story

THE STORY OF JOSEPH - lesson 18

ASSIMILATION INTO EGYPT

HEBREWS BOUGHT IN TO THE WRONG STORY

Joseph - the prototype of Jesus

This lesson is a critical part of the saga of Joseph.  We ask why did Joseph and his brothers stay in Egypt after the death of Jacob?  This becomes apparent in Genesis 48-50 but the answer seems to be in Genesis 47 in one verse.  It seems that Joseph and especially the rest of the family becomes blinded by the glory of Egypt, its riches and power and its awesome gods.  If this is the case this set up the rest of the story that we will see in the book of Exodus.

In this lesson we will see how the attitude of the Egyptians as being superior not only of the Hebrews but to any non-Egyptian results in two laws Yahvay, the Lord, the God of Abraham, institutes as a way of living for the Hebrews.  And us as well.  We will see how all this relates to Jesus and what He said as the 2nd greatest commandment in the Torah, His instruction which is to love one's neighbor as yourself.  I mentioned an awesome journal from the scholars at Netivyah ministries in Jerusalem.  The journal is ...

You will find this an awesome resource and their journals are free.  You don't want to not read this magazine.  It gets to the issue of Jesus' adding to the law in Lev. 19:34 to love the stranger, the foreigner even it they are a pagan, even if they are an enemy.  Jesus states clearly we are to love our enemy.  But how?  Get the journal at the link below.

I also urge you to also go to the store at Netivyah and check out all the ENGLISH MAGAZINES on many Bible topics for your learning and study.  They are all free.  Here's the link to all their free journals in their store - https://netivyah.org/library/

I also mentioned my research paper on Biblical dating.  This article is also a must have and a required study piece for yourself.  You'll be amazed at how archaeology and history show the true date of the Exodus and the dating of the saga of Joseph.  It is a critical article to study in depth and with care.  Here's the link - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/vnwmvpa19tys8ud2d8i8r/DATING-EDWIN-THIELE-ASSYRIAN-LIST-TO-JOSEPH-IN-EGYPT-...-edited-and-updated.pdf?rlkey=gytmbmhsubmvurppnlrhpcqak&st=7kngcxut&dl=0
