Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 41:28-30

Joseph's Exaltation in Egypt Genesis 41:14-16 , Genesis 41:28-30 , Genesis 41:40-44 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As we study the exaltation of Joseph in Egypt we cannot but remember his degradation. To see the one without the other, is to lessen the vital comprehension of either. Unless we grasp his degradation we cannot grasp the glory of his exaltation, and vice versa. We need to know how far he went down, to know the height to which he was lifted up. 1. The way to get up is to get down. Here is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 41:17-24

‘And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph saying, “In my dream, behold I stood on the bank of the Nile, and behold there came out of the Nile seven cows, fat-fleshed and well favoured, and they fed in the reed grass. And behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very thin such as I never saw in the land of Egypt for scrawniness, and the thin and scrawny cows ate up the first fat cows. And when they had eaten them up it could not be known that they had eaten them, but they were still thin as at... read more

‘And Joseph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh. The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good ears are seven years. The dream is one. And the seven thin and scrawny cows which came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind. They will be seven years of famine. That is the thing that I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh. Behold there come seven... read more

“Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh do this. And let him appoint overseers over the land and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years. And let them gather all the food of these good years that come and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it. And the food shall be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine which shall be in the land... read more

Genesis 41. Joseph Interprets Pharaoh’ s Dreams and is Made Viceroy of Egypt.— This is mainly from E, Genesis 41:1-Hosea : apart from Genesis 41:15 b, and perhaps Genesis 41:9 b entirely so. But J has been used as well in the later part. It is not worth while to attempt analysis since the two narratives must have been closely parallel. Genesis 41:46 a belongs to P.The two dreams are modelled on the same lines, and mean the same thing ( cf. Genesis 37:5-1 Kings : and Peter’ s triple vision,... read more

There shall be no relics of it to keep it in men’s minds, which will be so taken up with the contemplation of their present misery and future danger, that they will have neither heart nor leisure to reflect upon their former plenty, the remembrance whereof will but aggravate the present calamity. read more

Not by force or violence, for Joseph would never be the author of such unrighteous counsels; but by purchase at the common price, which was like to be very low in that case, and therefore might easily be compassed by that rich and mighty prince. Quest. Why the fifth part, and not half, seeing the years of famine were as many as the years of plenty? Answ. Because, 1. Men would and should live more sparingly in times of famine. 2. It was likely that very many men would lay up great quantities of... read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 41:32. The dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice.] This denotes the certainty and nearness of the event. (1 Kings 11:9; Job 33:14; Psalms 62:11.)—MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Genesis 41:17-32JOSEPH AS A PROPHETIn interpreting Pharaoh’s dream, Joseph shows himself a true prophet of the Lord.

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 41:34. Take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt.] Lay on a tax of a fifth of the produce. “The exaction of a fifth or two tithes, during the period of plenty, may have been an extraordinary measure, which the absolute power of the monarch enabled him to enforce for the public safety.”—(Murphy.) “The Egyptians were accustomed to a tax of a tenth in ordinary years, for the public granaries. The extra crop would enable them easily to double the tax or... read more
