Emily Trotter continues her Bible Study on “Friends of God”. This is Episode 3 in the series.

Notes from the Bible Study:

Joseph is our focus this week.

Genesis 37-50

Joseph was sold by his brothers.

Ch. 39

v. 21

The way Joseph lived his life brought blessings to the house where he stayed (v.5).

Ch. 41
Joseph is put in prison, but is put in charge of other prisoners. There, Joseph interprets the dreams of others. He is sent to the Pharoah. He interprets his dream as 7 years of greatness and 7 years of famine. Pharoah favored Joseph and he stayed within his kingdom. But Joseph remained true to God.

Ch. 42
The famine occurs. The Egyptians have stores of grains because of Joseph’s interpretation of Pharoah’s dream and because of Pharoah’s planning.

Joseph’s brothers come to Egypt seeking food.

Jacob dies and is buried in Israel. Even Pharoah comes to the burial.

Ch. 50
V.19-21. God will make good the bad that we have done.

70 members of Joseph’s family go to Egypt until the Exodus, when there were over 600,000.

There is a PURPOSE, though there may be hardship.
