It’s been a week and this is a recall on everything we have read this past week.
Chapter 46: You see Jacob’s journey to Egypt and the list of names of family he brings with him.
Chapter 47: Joseph introduces his family to Pharaoh and is then in turn told to give the best land to his famiy. Joseph also helps the Egyptians when famine strikes the land. Jacob asks Joseph when the time comes to take him back to his home land as Egypt is not his home.
Chapter 48: Jacob is coming to the end of his life and bestows his blessings unto his grandsons. Yet here he puts the youngest before the eldest once again as this is the 4 time it has happen within this family. Notes from my Bible: Remembering back to Isaac over Ishmael, Jacob over Esau, Joseph over Reuben, and Ephriam over Manasseh (Joseph’s sons).
Chapter 49: Jacob’s dying blessings unto his sons is what chapter 49 is about.
Chapter 50: Jacob has passed and Joseph goes to Pharaoh and tells his promise to his father to burry him in his home land and promises to return. This request is granted and he burries is father there. Upon his return his brother’s fear retribution for the sins they committed against him. Joseph tells them to fear not and that what they meant for evil God meant for good. Below is photo of more about Joseph in my Bible to share with you.
Yesterday we began a new book and chapter beginning with Exodus chapter 1. Below is a introduction of the Book of Exodus.
Chapter 1: Joseph has passed away and his descendents are left being the Israel nation in Egypt. This new Pharaoh having come to not know anything of Joseph feared the growing rate of the Hebrews as he calls them. He asks the two midwives to slay the sons born unto the women. Yet they did not for they feared the Lord more so than Pharaoh and said that to him when he asked why they didn’t kill them. So, Pharaoh sets out a charge unto his people being the Egyptians to cast the sons into the river and spare the daughters. Note from my Bible: (All this is about 400 years after Joseph that this takes place).
Today’s chapter 2: Verses 1-10: Moses is saved by Pharaoh’s daughter when she sent her maid to see what was the ark floating and found a nurse to nurse him and later brought up as her son and she named him Moses. Rest of the chapter we see Moses gets upset by the mistreatment of another and takes that person’s life. He then flees for fear of his own life for what he has done. He once again saves the ladies from the shepherds and then is taken into their home at the request of their father. Who gives his daughter to Moses and she bares him a son. The previous Pharaoh passes and a new one takes over. The cries of Israel the Lord hears and remembers his promise unto them.
God Bless you and your loved ones. See you next Sunday for a Re-cap of all we read in the week to come.
