Genesis 40 - 42
GenesisSteve Gregg
In Genesis 40-42, the story of Joseph continues to reveal God's providence and Joseph's integrity. Joseph's imprisonment leads to him being trusted by the head of the prison and put in charge of the other prisoners, and his ability to interpret dreams leads to his eventual release from prison and appointment as governor over all of Egypt. In the midst of famine, Joseph's family travels to Egypt to buy grain and Joseph tests his brothers by asking them to bring their youngest brother Benjamin to him to verify their honesty. Overall, the story illustrates how God works through trials and difficult circumstances to ultimately bring about good.
