Description

Joseph and His Brothers GicleesJoseph was a direct descendant of Abraham. As a boy, Joseph was favored by his father Jacob in such a way that his brothers hated him. When he had dreams that his parents and brothers would all bow down to him someday, the brothers had enough. Given an opportunity, they threw Joseph into a pit and sold him for 20 pieces of silver to slave traders who were on their way to Egypt. In this way, Joseph was a type of Jesus whom Judas betrayed for 30 pieces

Joseph was a direct descendant of Abraham. As a boy, Joseph was favored by his father Jacob in such a way that his brothers hated him. When he had dreams that his parents and brothers would all bow down to him someday, the brothers had enough. Given an opportunity, they threw Joseph into a pit and sold him for 20 pieces of silver to slave traders who were on their way to Egypt. In this way, Joseph was a “type” of Jesus whom Judas betrayed for 30 pieces of silver. The brothers then took Joseph’s torn robe to their father to convince him Joseph was killed by a wild animal.

 

Years passed, and Pharaoh, king of Egypt, had 2 identical dreams that only Joseph was able to interpret. The first dream involved ears of corn both healthy and withered; the second dream involved cows, one healthy, one starving and ugly. Joseph interpreted both dreams, saying that God was warning that 7 years of great abundance would come to Egypt, followed by 7 years of the worst famine they ever knew, and instructed Pharaoh how to prepare. Pharaoh, seeing that God had blessed Joseph with great wisdom, appointed him as the ruler second in power so that the people might survive the great famine.

As the famine spread, Joseph’s brothers eventually travelled to Egypt for food so they wouldn’t starve. Immediately Joseph recognized them, and he tried to keep his young brother Benjamin in Egypt by accusing him of stealing a valuable cup and having him arrested. The despondent brothers begged Joseph to release Benjamin, but at this point Joseph couldn’t bear to hide his identity any longer, and revealed who he was to his shocked and terrified brothers. He said to them, "You meant it for evil, but God meant it for good," because he believed in the sovereignty of God over all the affairs of mankind.

Every figure in the painting has emblems identifying them according to the prophecy their father Jacob spoke over each of the 12 sons just before he died:

Reuben, “uncontrolled like water”
Simeon and Levi, with “swords of violence”
Judah, called a “lion”
Zebulun, “a haven for ships”
Issachar, “a strong donkey”
Dan, a “horned snake” that bites a horse, so “the rider falls backward”
Gad, who “raids at the heels of raiders”
Asher, whose “food shall be rich”, portrayed here with jewels like grapes
Naphtali, “like a doe let loose”
Joseph, who was “harassed and bitterly attacked by archers”
 And finally, Benjamin, the youngest, “a ravenous wolf”, shown with the cup.

The entire family eventually traveled to Egypt where they lived for generations, an estimated 440 years, until the great Exodus under Moses.

 

Joseph & His Brothers received 3rd place at the 2018 Illinois State Fair Professional Exhibition

Will help you to understand God's love and grace and the work of the holy spirit
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This is a really great study bible especially if you are looking for a first time study bible it has lots of pages and is kind of heavy I used to be KJV only but have come to love the NKJV because its almost exactly like the KJV except it takes out the way they talked when KJV was releasedit doesnt include thee thou and words like sayeth instead has a lot of word you and better to understand. It is filled with God's love and grace and will help you to understand God's love and grace and also to study the bible. I got out of living a fear based relationship with God and living by works and having religious perfectionism this study bible has helped to reinforce the work of God's love and will help you if you read the bible and feel condemned or are struggling to understand. It's got great notes a big section rather than few which i didnt like that many study bibles dont have enough notes this has extra parts to help you to understand and also included prayers and has a good outline of yhe original text that is very well to read rather than making you feel overwhelmed. If you are looking for your first time study bible or are considering buying this I would reccomend it, don't be thrown off by the title of the study bible. Godbless.

I can't put this bible down!
What a perfect size. The font is totally readable and enhances the experience (way to go 2K/Denmark). The layout is an invitation to read: simple bible text with little to no distractions. References on the sides of the page are a great idea. All the references you might desire are there but they're out of the way - they don't interfere with your ability to pay attention to the bible text. The slightly cream toned white paper is sublime: wonderfully opaque and easy to page turn. The line matched text solves ghosting issues you've doubtlessly hated in previous bibles. I LOVE the red text (not words of Christ in red, this is a black letter edition) - it is the perfect artistic accent and it's functional as well. The red under gold art gilt page edging is so beautiful. It's a joy to open this bible up to see that red tone appear - a red tone matched to the red text (wow!). And even the three double sided silk ribbons (two black, one red) match the overall design of the bible. The goatskin is ... amazing ... this is my first goatskin bible and I'll not go back to any other type of leather again. It is nicely floppy on the first day. The bible feels like it is fully broken in on the first day you open it. The leather has a nice (naturally) pebbly texture but also feels somewhat smooth and is edge sewn for years of use. The edge gilt on the inside of the cover is beautifully done and perfectly frames the text block when the bible lies open - which it does flawlessly. The spine of the bible lacks raised dividers instead having printed dividers. They do the job nicely and the dual thin gold lines at each location is a very nice artistic touch adding to the overall presentation of the finished product. Simple text on the spine tastefully complete the overall design: HOLY BIBLE ... New King James Version ... Thomas Nelson. Nothing else is needed. Things that are somewhat unimportant to me but should be mentioned in case these matter to you: the bible maps are nicely done and the sizable concordance is impressive (albeit the font is a bit small). Note I'm in my 60's now and I've noticed many of my old bibles (old, dear friends) seem to have shrinking text recently. Ah, 60's ... oh joy. That is what drove me to seek out bibles with the 2K/Denmark fonts. This has been such a delightful surprise. The bible is a complete invitation to read. I read it daily and wish I had more time to devote to it. This is, to date, the best bible I've ever owned at any price point. I gladly give this bible my highest recommendation.
