Year in the Bible Week 3

Joseph Sold Into Slavery By His Brothers by Donato Mascagni (also known as Fra' Arsenio Mascagni), 1602

Hello everybody! This week we get to one of my favorite chapters in scripture, which is Genesis 50. It is such a comfort to know that the plans of evildoers can easily be turned into something beautiful by our sovereign Lord.

Of course, this will end the book of Genesis, and land Jacob’s whole clan in Egypt. It’s going to be quite a while (historically) until God calls the Israelites out of Egypt, so what do we read about next? The book of Job.

There is a bit of controversy about the timeline when it comes to Job, but in this book it happens early, during the time in Egypt. We will spend two weeks in Job, so be ready for some heartache, but remember: we know how the story ends!

God bless you. See you next week.
