More Plus More Because of the Lord

And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither. And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.-Genesis 39:1-5***Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and Dinah were born to Jacob (Israel) and his 1st wife Leah. Dan and Naphtali were born to Jacob and Bilhah, the maidservant of Jacob's 2nd wife Rachel. Gad and Asher were born to Jacob and Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. Joseph's brothers hated him, and his dreams, and his status as their father's favorite. Thus, when Joseph arrived in Dothan to check on his brothers, he found himself thrown into a waterless pit and sold to traveling merchants headed to Egypt. Jacob's sons led Jacob to believe that Joseph was killed by an animal. The traveling merchants sold Joseph to Potiphar, an Egyptian official. After the false accusation made by Potiphar's wife, Potiphar put Joseph in the king's prison. The Lord God continued to be with Joseph, and the warden saw Joseph favourably and placed Joseph over everything related to the prisoners. At least 2 years after Joseph explained the meaning of a dream to both the imprisoned cupbearer and imprisoned baker who served Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, Joseph explained the meaning of 2 dreams to Pharaoh. Pharaoh proclaimed Joseph to be second-in-command in Egypt. During a famine, Jacob sent his sons from Canaan to Egypt to buy grain. After the sons made a 2nd trip to Egypt, Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers and told them to move with their families, including Jacob, to Egypt. Thus, when Jacob was 130 years old, he was reunited with Joseph. When Jacob was 147 years old, he died in Egypt and his body was buried in Canaan. Sometime after Joseph and his brothers were dead, Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. Over 1,400 years after Moses and his older brother Aaron led the Israelites away from Egypt, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and through a 40-year journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Sometime after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Joseph, Mary and Jesus stayed in Egypt for awhile, according to the words spoken to Joseph by an angel of the Lord.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 231:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, Psalm 105, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
