Joseph

Previous

A group of cool dolls found a photo on the mountain, so everyone took a photo in front of the stone wall. When one of the children walked through the stone wall, they found that they were wearing Dragon Robes, so they were surrounded by others and returned to their homes, the father of the child immediately finds a group of children and says that they are talking nonsense, but secretly brings the child to the stone wall. when the child reaches the stone wall, I am still a child of longpao. My father immediately fell down and prayed to the stone wall: I know that you have the ability to predict the Spirit of God, but this will cause a disaster to a child, please help him conceal it. Then, take a photo in front of the stone wall, and the longpao teenager will no longer see it. So my father took the child to his home, and then the child became the overlord of the generation.

This is of course not a story recorded in the Bible, but a legend in China. It illustrates the Chinese Philosophy of avoiding jealousy without disclosing their wealth. In the story, the father was sensitive and found that his child was predicted to be the disaster that the Emperor would bring to him, so he took immediate measures to avoid it all. Unfortunately, Joseph is not so lucky as the protagonist here.

In the 2210th years after the creation of Adam by God, Joseph was 17 years old, and her mother was killed by the birth of his younger brother Benjamin a few years ago. Israel loves to pull the knot, and the children of the knot are only Joseph and Benjamin, who are younger than him. So Israel loves Joseph more and makes a long color coat for him, these are a great stimulus to the hearts of Joseph's 10 brothers. But what makes these 10 brothers even more intolerable is Joseph's dream. One is the wheat ears in the field kneeling at him, the other is the sun and the moon and 11 stars kneeling at him, when Joseph told his family without reservation, israel scolded him and said, "What is your dream? My mother and I, and your brother, are you sure you want to bow down to you ?" (The Old Testament was created in 37.10) at that time, the brothers had begun to kill Joseph.

The Brothers of Joseph grabbed Joseph while setting the goat, dropped his long-colored coat, and put him into the dead well for killing. One of them called Judah did not want to get his brother's blood. It happened that a merchant in Midian had passed by. He suggested selling Joseph, so he earned 20 silver dollars and Joseph was sold to Egypt. His brother-in-law used the goat's blood to dye a colored long coat and lied that Joseph had been torn up by a beast. What could Israel do with sorrow? He is 108 years old, and the incident is still gone.

Joseph was sold to the Minister slaughter of Pharaoh, and the chief of the army, potih, found that Joseph was very diligent and competent to appreciate him. In less than a few years, Joseph managed everything in his house, in a good environment, Joseph became more and more "strong and handsome" (39.6 of the Old Testament. Who knows that junmei had caused a disaster for Joseph? The wife of potiphia looked at him. After being rejected by him, he became angry and framed Joseph to tease himself.

So Joseph was put into jail. Joseph's talent re-appeared in the prison. The prison director also liked him and soon began to manage the whole prison. Once, Pharaoh's Minister of wine and chief was shut down to the prison where Joseph was shut down, and Joseph predicted their fate by giving them a dream-the chief of food was killed and the minister of wine was released, the wine regime agreed to help joseph speak to Pharaoh if he could go out. Three days later, Joseph's predictions were indeed fulfilled, but the wine regime forgot its promise after being lucky.

After another two years, the Lord may think that the time has finally matured, and Pharaoh has made a strange dream, and it cannot be explained to summon wise men throughout the country to seek ministers. At this time, the wine Minister spoke about his past and recommended Joseph to dream about it (obviously for the purpose of invitation. Fortunately, he is only a wine Minister. If he is the personnel Minister, he can't leave it :). Joseph believes that Pharaoh's dream clearly states that Egypt will experience seven years of drought and seven years of drought, and suggested that the country reserve 1/5 of the National harvest each year from the beginning of the year. Pharaoh was convinced of Joseph's interpretation, and ordered him to take over Egypt and marry the daughter of the priest. This year, Joseph was sold to Egypt for 13th years, and he was just thirty years old.

Seven years later, the great abundance of food began to fall short of grain in all parts of the desert year. Only Egypt had ample reserves, while Joseph was the one who controlled the distribution of food. The family of Israel was also affected by the desert year. I heard that there was food in Egypt, and the 10 brothers of Joseph came to buy food, and they did not recognize Joseph and fought in front of him. Joseph designed to let his brothers go back and bring their younger brother Benjamin and hold Benjamin. Joseph's brother, Judah, turned to Joseph for love. Joseph finally began to forgive and agree with him with his family.

When Pharaoh knew about the incident, he asked Joseph's brothers to go back and take Joseph's father to Egypt. Israel could not believe this, it wasn't until I saw Joseph that I was excited and said, "This time I saw your face and knew that you are still there. I am willing to die." (The Old Testament was created in 46.30 ). Joseph placed his family in geshan. Then he exchanged food for livestock and wealth from various places. He bought all the land in Egypt and drove the people without any land to the city, so that they can only plant Pharaoh's land and pay 1/5 of the harvest.

Joseph was 110 years old and did not leave Egypt when he died. He told his family that although I died, "But God will care for you, take you from this land to the place where he vowed to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." (The Old Testament was created in 50.24)

The end of the century.
