Discuss Genesis 50

Lee the Follower:

Isaiah 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his maker! Let the potsherds strive with the potsherds of the earth ....

Ezekiel 38:21 And I will call for a sword (the word of God) against him (the WORD) throughout all my mountains (peoples): saith the LORD: every man's sword (word) shall be against his brother(s) (word).

Ephesians 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT MAN, unto the measure and the stature and FULLNESS of Christ:

God's plan is for us to strive against each other, Joseph's brother DID NOT like the word their brother Joseph spoken, and sold him into slavery.

But look what Joseph said, by the spirit of Christ:

Genesis 50:20 But as for you, ye thought EVIL against me, but God meant it unto GOOD, to SAVE much people alive.

Just walk in the truth of the WORD, his ways are not our ways.

God Bless YOU!

Jema:

Don't look back with regrets; what you call mistakes, God calls a learning experience to gain knowledge.

Josephs brothers thought that they made a mistake and had regrets, Joseph, in the wisdom of God SAID:

Genesis 50:20 But as for you, you thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to SAVE MUCH PEOPLE ALIVE.

2 Corinthians 5:18 ALL THINGS (even what we deem as mistakes) ARE OF GOD, who hath reconciled (a completed ACT) us unto himself by (the resurrection) of Jesus Christ, and hath given us the ministry (KNOWLEDGE) of reconciliation.

Romans 8:7 The carnal mind is ENMITY (in direct rebellion) against God (the WORD) .........

God Bless You

Rick Colombe:

Man is God's INSTRUMENTS, he does all the WORK'S of God through man.

Man just does not have the KNOWLEDGE to believe God is doing EVERYTHING, through man.

Philippians 2:13 For it is God that worketh IN YOU both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

Jeremiah 51:20 Thou (man) are MY (God's) weapons of WAR ......

Isaiah 10:5 O Assyrian, the rod (weapon) of MY (God) anger, and the staff (weapon) in thy hand is MY (GOD) indignation ...

Isaiah 45:1 ...to Cyrus, whose right hand I (God) have holden, to SUBDUE NATIONS .....

Daniel 4:34 ..... and MY UNDERSTANDING RETURNED .....

Daniel 4:35 ....and he (God) doeth according to HIS (God) WILL ..... among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

God had a purpose for Aaron, also a purpose for those that perished, Aaron also DIED, just a differennt APPOINTED time.

God knows what he is doing and EVIL always works to GOOD.

Genesis 50:20 ....you thought EVIL against me, but God meant it for GOOD ..... to keep many people ALIVE .....

Judas betrayed Christ; EVIL, the Father meant that betrayal for GOOD: to keep all people ALIVE in Christ Jesus ....

Hosea 4:6 My people perish FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE .....

God Bless YOU!

HI everyone

Brother S Spencer:

The scriptures I quoted doesn't disagree with there being two groups of people IN THIS AGE.

Two thirds shall die and a third left there in.

I do know one thing. God has a purpose and a time for everything; therefore, You and I and everyone on this site ARE IN THE PLACE OF GOD. HIS WORKS.

Genesis 50:19-20

God Bless YOU, his body.

Brother Jesse:

I know this sounds harsh, but I know, that you know, what God's word says.

Pray in this manner: Not my will, but thy will be done.

I also have a grandson who would not leave drugs alone and went to prison twice; but now he has a good job and a family.

Our only comfort is in God's word and the examples in the Bible, one being of Joseph.

Genesis 50:19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I IN THE PLACE OF GOD?

Genesis 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; BUT GOD MEANT IT UNTO GOOD, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

Romans 8:28 For we KNOW ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for good, unto them that love the Lord, to them that are called according to HIS PURPOSE.

We can't see that calling and purpose, Our Father can, he also is the Father of your grandson.

God Bless You.

Manasseh was, according to the Book of Genesis, the first son of Joseph and Asenath ( Genesis 41:50-52). Asenath was an Egyptian woman whom the Pharaoh gave to Joseph as wife, and the daughter of Potipherah, a priest of On ( Genesis 41:50-52). Manasseh was born in Egypt before the arrival of the children of Israel from the land of Gershwin.

Machir was the son of Manasseh, grandson of Joseph, and father of Gilead. Joseph lived to see and to play a part in the up-bringing of Machir and his children.

In the Torah's account of the journey of the Israelites after the Exodus, Machir (the individual) is portrayed as conquering the territories known as Gilead and Bashan, which had previously been occupied by Amorites. Half of the tribe of Manasseh, those descended from Machir, are described as having settled in Gilead and Bashan,and consequently they were important in Gilead's history.

According to the Books of Samuel, Machir son of Ammiel was the name of a descendant of the Machir mentioned above, who resided at Lo-Debar. The text states that here he looked after Meribaal, the son of Jonathan, until David took over his care, and also looked after David himself, when David found himself a fugitive.

The name of the son of Manasseh Machir was mentioned in chapter 50. My question is , where was Manasseh at this time?.

Lesley, How do you know if it is bad.

Joseph, was sold into slavery by his brothers, cast into prison for ten years, but look what Joseph learned:

Genesis 50:20 But as for you (Joseph's brothers), ye thought evil against me: but God meant it to good, TO BRING TO PASS, as it is this day, TO SAVE MUCH PEOPLE ALIVE.

God does nothing, even causing what appears to be bad, that doesn't turn out to be perfect.

We can't see the END, from the BEGINNING, he can:

TRUST IN GOD HE NEVER FAILS.

Genesis 25:23-28, Genesis 32:1,24,25,26,27,28, Genesis 35:10, Genesis 46:2, Genesis 46:5, * Genesis 50:24, Exodus 1:1-5, * 1Kings 18:31, * Psalms 14:7, Psalms 105:10, interesting how this scripture is broken down like this 'And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law,' 'and to Israel an everlasting covenant ' 2 Samuel 7:7,

They are descendents, of Jacob aka "Israel' the lineage of CHRIST Jesus, Matthew 1,

Hopefully these are helpful

Joeseph and the coat of many colours shows all people that forgiveness is a key to the kingdom of heaven and peace on earth.From a prisoner to the most powerful man in Egypt with God's wisdom ,and guidance when you do God's will you will always be blessed abundantly with gifts from the Holy Spirit.Faith Hope Charity.Now that's true prosperity.

Genesis 15:13-14, Genesis 37, Genesis 39, Genesis 40, Genesis 41, Genesis 47, Genesis 50:22,23, Exodus 1:1-7, Exodus 1:8-12. Note Exodus 1:11,20, Exodus 2:1, please note: John 8:39, biblical times lineage of Levi & Abraham very significant, therefore they would call themselves or other's by the name, many generations. Matthew 1:1, Matthew 22:42, Exodus 6:16-27, Exodus 12:40,41,

Hope this helps.

And so I come to the end of the book of Genesis! Here in ch. 50 we learn of the way a person is mourned in Egypt. Jacob was embalmed (something that the did not generally do).The people mourned for 40 days. Perhaps it took that long for the embalmment to be complete enough to put the body in a tomb. Joseph asks Pharaoh to be permitted to take his father's body back to Canaan and be buried with the others that had died before him in the cave of the patriarchs (as it is called). Pharaoh permits this, even releasing all of the male leaders of the tribe of Jacob to go back to their prior home. At the gravesite, Jacob is mourned for 7 days (probably the custom for the Israelites?).

After returning from Canaan, Joseph's brother begin to worry that Joseph will take revenge on them now that their father has died. After 17 years you would think that they would know that Joseph had no such intention. But, perhaps they did not have very much contact with Joseph considering is position in the government. Joseph once again assured them that he will treat them with lovingkindness because he had truly forgiven them, thus exemplifying Christ.

Joseph must have been about 55 when Jacob died. He lived another 55 years. He saw his sons grow up and his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Interesting one was named specifically saying he was brought up on Joseph's knees. Macher must have been a favored grandchild.

Joseph provided for his family and his brothers and their families for all the years he was them. When he was close to death, he promised his brethren that God would visit them and take them back to Canaan. He asked his brothers to take an oath to carry his remain back to Canaan and bury them with his forefathers. It doesn't recount him giving a blessing on his children, perhaps because is father already had done so.

The story of Joseph's life is a truly amazing. God never left him forsaken, but blessed him richly in every circumstance, making him a man of God.

Hi GiGi.

The Lord deliverance of Israel out of Egypt was well planned out and his glory was on display Exodus 14:4. and Romans 9:17.

And them entering Egypt was impressive as well with the Lord in total control of this from the selling of Joseph

( Genesis 50:20.) through out the blessings of Joseph. I like to view it as the Lords sovereign plan being exercised

( Genesis 15:13) rather than the brothers doing evil. God was in total control, and even over the famine.

Because all this contributed to the promise he made Abraham.

Great read.

God bless and Goodnight.

Brother Jesse: Joseph was a saviour, just as we are going to be, when Christ and his elect judge the world.

Obadiah 1:21

Genesis 45:7 And God sent me before you to SAVE a posterity in the earth, and to SAVE your lives by a great deliverance.



Genesis 50:20 But as for you, you thought evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to SAVE much people alive.

Joseph was a shadow as was Moses, Adam, Noah, etc. etc. to reveal the TRUE saviour of ALL MANKIND.

Sister Glenda, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

Age is in YOUR favour; because, you can look back at more experiences of LIFE, than your daughter.

The SPIRIT has CAUSED you (through the CHOICES he CAUSED you to make) to have those experiences of LIFE (good and evil) because it is necessary to become like God. ( Genesis 3:22)

God KNOWS how to USE EVIL for GOOD.

God CAUSED Joseph to have a silly little dream and to tell his brothers about that dream.

God CAUSED his brothers to be envious and hate Joseph.

God CAUSED his brothers to rise up and do EVIL against their brother Joseph.

But look what THE WORD SAYS:

Genesis 50:19 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not, for I am in the place of God (where God purposed him to be).

Genesis 50:20 But as FOR YOU, you thought EVIL against me, but God meant (caused) it (evil) unto GOOD, to bring to pass, as it is this day, TO SAVE MUCH PEOPLE ALIVE.

God is STILL DOING this TODAY; Man just does't BELIEVE IT.

Did Judas have a Choice outside of what God had purposed him TO DO.( Zechariah 11:12)

Did Peter have a Choice outside of what God had purposed him TO DO (deny Jesus and flee)( Zechariah 13:7).

Did Pharaoh have a Choice outside of what God had purposed Him TO DO ( Romans 9:17).

Did David have a Choice outside of what God purposed him TO DO.

2 Samuel 24:1 And AGAIN the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he MOVED (CAUSED) David against them, to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.

God PURPOSED that you are going to become the IMAGE of HIM ( Romans 8:29)( 1 Corinthians 15:49), Do you think you have a CHOICE outside of what he has purpose you TO DO.

Ezekiel 36:27 And I will put my Spirit in you, and CAUSE you to walk in my statues (good or evil), and you shall keep my judgements, and DO THEM.

God's WAY is not man's WAY.

I love love love love love jesus jesus jesus or lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!@!@!!!!!!!

What was the reason for 30 days that Joseph mourn for Jacob his father

This is so spiritual

Day 16 of Bible in a year! I did it! I can now say I've read the entire book of Genesis. I believe it was in the commentary that states Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel) and Joseph are the prophets that are spoken of in revelations? Very interesting the lives of the beginning to see where we came from. It goes to show not much has changed. Some of us are good and others are bad hearted. Joseph's perspective that good came out of his brothers evil deed for the better. I/we need to have this perspective to prevail and make the world a better place.

Hi Sean, here's a page that might be useful: Link

Sean, have you admitted that you've sinned and desire to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?

After the new birth begins, the Holy Spirit will be in your life to help you pray, get free from things that hold you back; read a Bible and understand it. Start in 1, 2, 3, John in the back of the Bible (in front of Revelation).

If you have YouTube you can watch some ministry programs by Charles Stanley. If you have any fears or questions, you're person to run to is Holy Spirit. He will never leave you or forsake you (quit on you). He will give you strength. Confess as you feel the need and you'll be free of it forever.

Ask Holy Spirit to help you find a church nearby.

No I have never snd read the Bible. Just reading that was hard for me. Once again G planted a seed that us gonna grow into a flower. I would love a Bible.

Genesis 50:23 please click scripture is says brought up, in this translation. To me it speaks personally about the children like myself (for example) were brought up very young, closely on the knees of my Dad & Granddad. Where you see what they read, what they watch , near everything they did. It is in an amazingly close relationship.

According to verse 20, they thought evil against him; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to deliver and recue much people.

Joseph had a dream, he trusted God through his trials and temptations and at the appointed time that dream was fulfilled. He became great and was instrumental in saving many lives.
"Commit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass (Ps.37:5)

End of day 16 Daily Bible reading. The people - nation of Israel are now now connected together as a people. Their spiritual journey will lead them to be a nation.

Verse 15: Joseph's brothers still had a guilty conscience. Making bad decisions can cause us to have a bad conscience many years after the decision has been made.

40 days: Genesis 50:2-3 And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel. And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days. 40 days of death of Israel. Israel wanted Jesus to be their Messiah if Jesus would follow their rule.

Grace and mercy was showed to a brother that was left to die in an unknown land. God will always be for you when the world turn against you. Joseph was blessed before any thing happened to him. His father Jacob had already told him that his brothers would be his servants and they hated him for the blessing his father had put on his life. In the end he still showed the love he had in his heart.
