Introduction
So far we have been studying Joseph as a type of Jesus
His new name in Egyptian: Zaphnath-Paaneah, which means “God speaks and he lives.”
Genesis 41:45
Joseph has then two children:
Manasseh: “The Lord will make me forget” Genesis 41:51
Ephraim: “The Lord caused me to be fruitfull in the land of my affliction” Genesis 41:52
Genesis 42 Joseph’s brothers come to Egypt because of the famine
Joseph demands of them to bring Benjamin with them to see him (Joseph).
Judah speaks to Israel abouth the matter
This is the same Judah who sells Joseph to the traders in Genesis 37:26-28
They finally return to Egypt with Benjamin and Joseph hids his cup in Benjamin’s sack
Judah seems to have repented from this as he tries to protect his younger brothe Benjamin.
Bible Study Scripture
Our Bible study is based on Genesis 44:18-47:27

Brown, F., Driver, S. R., & Briggs, C. A. (1977).

EXAMPLES:
Consider Judah in Genesis 44:16-18
Judah draws near after having possibly repented from selling Joseph to the merchants
He asks if he can speak and if his “lord” would hear him
Asks for mercy: do not let your anger burn against your servant
For you are a king: like Pharaoh
Consider Joseph’s reaction to Judah’s drawing near
The Land of Goshen
They settle in Goshen
Shepherd is an abomination to Egyptians
No different from today’s view

We cannot approach God without being cleansed because He is holy
We must plea to the Lord to be able to draw near him
But if we do not draw near to Him, we are definitely drawing near something else
We must draw near him with a sincere heart
We must learn how to draw near at His command
If you draw near (approach) Him, you will be blessed

The same way Joseph drew his people back to him, the Lord will draw His people to Him
In Genesis, God established a pattern for the house of Jacob
Israel will draw near God
Israel will dwel in a land that is set apart
Israel will be provided and will multiply
All will see the salvation drawing near
