Jacob: Don't worry my son, I'm aware of it.  This is a couple of lines in the events you are about to learn in this week bible chapter. Jacob was getting to his grave so, he called to see Joseph. He had seen the salvation of Yahweh through his dear Joseph. He reiterated his wish to Joseph to bury him in the land of Canaan. Joseph was aware of his father's situation. So, he went to his father with his two sons (Manasseh and Ephraim). In this week, Joseph witnessed a thing he was not expecting from his dad. Let us see what Jacob's mandates wer

  Food is the answer to hunger How Yahweh relates with his creations (series 47) Making Pharaoh Greater Bible Texts ( Concordant Version of the Old Testament and Concordant Literal New Testament with keywords Concordance (Main text: Genesis chapter 47) One might have concluded that Pharaoh made Joseph a great man in Egypt. What if I told you that Joseph also made him great during time of 7 years of famine, would you have believed it? Do you think Joseph was just a dreamer, dream interpreter or an administrator? Not so. He was also a great Managerial Economist. He is the blessing Egyptians should never forget.                Before I go into this, remember that in last blog, Joseph's family migrated from Canaan land to Egypt after 2 years out of 7 which was expected according to the interpretation of Pharaoh's dream. Joseph, his father and 5 of his brothers visited Pharaoh in his palace. Pharaoh asked Jacob a direct question on his age. Jacob's response was rather pa

Did you see that kind of hug? Do you know what it means? That is an intimate hug between a caring father and his loved son. That kind of   hug   reminded Jacob of Rachel who was his power, his pleasure and pain. The hug that brought joyful tears to the two long separated family. I believe it is good to know more on this story. At the joyful news delivered to Jacob, he was elated and was eager to see his dear son Joseph. He stopped at Beersheba to sacrifice to Yahweh. He slept there. Yahweh appeared to him. Yahweh informed him to go down t

He informed all Egyptians around him to leave him with his brothers in the house. He had a secret to tell his brothers. Just like in the movies, when you hear the terrifying sound of musical instruments that ushers-in surprise, Joseph made the last episode appear like this to his brothers. His brothers would be wondering what next was coming for them. I can imagine them fastening their despondent eyes on Joseph to hear the
