Thanks for joining me on this study through the Book of Genesis. If you get out your Bible or turn to Genesis chapter 47, we're continuing to look at the life of Joseph together. Now last time we were in Genesis, we saw Joseph reconciled to his brothers. His brothers reconciled to him. At first reading, it almost seems as if Joseph is punishing his brothers for their past behavior, their persecution of him, their throwing him into a pit and selling him into slavery punishing them for their jealousy.
