All right, boys and girls. 03:26 Today, we're gonna dive right into the story of Joseph. 03:30 But before we go into Joseph being in Egypt, 03:33 I'm gonna remind you 03:35 about what happened before to Joseph. 03:37 Joseph was at home 03:39 living in Canaan with his family. 03:41 And he had... I can't quite remember 03:43 how many brothers did Joseph have? 03:44 Eleven. 03:46 He had 11 brothers. That's right. 03:47 He was the 12th brother. 03:49 And he was there, 03:51 but his brothers didn't like him very much 03:53 'cause they were envious of him, 03:54 they were jealous of him. 03:56 And so what they did was a shameful thing. 03:59 They sold him into slavery. Wow! 04:02 They sold him for 30 pieces of silver. 04:05 And there's poor Joseph 04:06 being taken away into a foreign nation, 04:10 a foreign land likely not even knowing the language. 04:13 And there was Joseph locked up. 04:15 Before he got locked up, he got sold to a man. 04:18 Who knows the name of that man? 04:21 All right, 04:22 let's say it all together if you know it. 04:24 Three, two, one. Potiphar. 04:25 Potiphar. That's right. 04:27 He was sold to Potiphar. 04:28 And in Potiphar's household, 04:30 he did all kinds of things for him. 04:34 Eventually, Potiphar recognized that, 04:37 "Wow, God is really with Joseph." 04:41 And so he gave him jurisdiction, 04:44 he allowed him to rule over his own household. 04:47 Well, Potiphar had a certain wife 04:51 who, unfortunately, 04:53 was trying to do some things with Joseph that weren't okay. 04:56 And so one day Potiphar's wife cornered Joseph 05:01 and tried to ask him to do something 05:03 that he knew was wrong to do. 05:05 And Joseph said to her, "I can't do that. 05:08 How can I sin against..." Who? 05:11 Who is he afraid to sin against? 05:12 God. God. That's right. 05:14 He said, "How can I sin against God?" 05:17 And he said, "I won't do that." 05:19 And was Potiphar's wife happy about that? 05:21 No. No. 05:22 Potiphar's wife said, "Oh, I can't believe it." 05:24 And as Joseph was trying to run away 05:26 Potiphar's wife grabbed his coat 05:28 and ripped off his coat, just as he got away from there. 05:32 And what Potiphar's wife did was she grabbed his coat. 05:36 And she went and she cried out and said, 05:38 "Ah!" 05:39 She said, "Oh, no. 05:42 Joseph tried to do all kinds of terrible things to me. 05:45 Oh, no." And she yelled out, and... 05:48 Was Joseph really doing those bad things? 05:50 No. No. 05:52 She was lying about it. 05:54 She was lying all about it. 05:56 And eventually Potiphar came home 05:58 and Potiphar's wife went and told him all these things. 06:01 "Oh, you know, Joseph was trying to do this 06:03 and hurt me and do all these things. 06:05 "And Potiphar, what did he have to do? 06:10 He had to throw him into prison. 06:12 Now at least he didn't die. 06:14 He threw him into the dungeon, threw him into the prison. 06:17 Ooh! Does that sound like a nice place you'd want to be? 06:19 No. No. 06:21 He threw him into that prison. 06:22 And there sat Joseph, all alone, being set up. 06:26 He was framed. 06:27 He never did that thing to begin with. 06:29 And as he was there, God... 06:31 Did God leave him? No. 06:33 No. God was still with him. 06:35 And as Joseph was in prison, he was still very helpful. 06:39 And the jail guard there recognized, 06:42 "Wow, Joseph is really helpful." 06:44 So he gave him responsibilities and duties. 06:46 And Joseph was well liked and respected there in prison. 06:50 Well, eventually, during Joseph's time in prison, 06:53 there came along two guys. 06:56 Who were these special guys that the Bible tells us? 07:00 Let's see. Let's give the mic to Gavin. 07:02 Who were these men? 07:04 The cupbearer and baker. That's right. 07:07 The cupbearer and the baker, right? 07:09 We could call it the butler and the baker, 07:12 the butler and the baker. 07:13 The baker made bread for Pharaoh. 07:16 And the butler served him his drink, his wine, 07:20 his whatever he wanted to drink. 07:22 But Pharaoh was angry at the butler and the baker. 07:25 And he said, "Man, you guys have offended me." 07:28 And so he threw him into prison, just like Joseph. 07:31 Now when these men were in prison, 07:33 they had dreams. 07:36 Who knows what kind of dreams they dreamt? 07:39 Let's see, Jackson. 07:41 One dream was the cupbearer's dream, 07:45 and he had the dream about 07:48 when he was squeezing wine into... 07:52 There was a wine 07:53 and he was squeezing wine into Pharaoh's cup. 07:56 The cups, yeah. 07:58 That's good. 07:59 Yes, that was one of the dreams that the butler had. 08:02 That's good. Who knows what the baker had? 08:04 What was that? Let's go with Nathan here. 08:07 The baker's dream was... 08:09 So he had a basket full of bread 08:12 and some birds came and took them away. 08:14 Oh! 08:15 How many baskets were on his head? 08:17 Seven. 08:18 I think there were three. That's right. 08:19 Three branches for the butler 08:22 and three baskets of bread on his head. 08:24 And they were confused. 08:25 They said, "Ah, I don't know what this dream is." 08:28 Anyone here ever had a dream? 08:29 You're like, "Whoa, that was weird. 08:30 I don't know what that means." 08:32 Yeah? Oh, yeah. 08:34 Sometimes we have these crazy dreams. 08:35 Well, they recognized 08:36 there is something special to it. 08:38 So they came to... 08:39 Joseph said, "Hey, tell me the dream. 08:40 And I can give you the interpretation 08:42 because I know a God who knows the interpretation." 08:45 And so there, 08:46 Joseph explained to the butler first, 08:50 and he said, "Oh, those, 08:52 the three branches represent three days, 08:55 and you will be restored after three days, 08:58 within three days 08:59 to be the butler for Pharaoh again." 09:02 Now do you think that made the butler happy? 09:04 Yes. Oh, yeah. 09:05 He said, "Yeah, I get to be back with Pharaoh 09:07 and do my job 09:08 and not be locked up in this prison." 09:10 And so after the baker heard 09:12 that that was a good interpretation. 09:13 He says, "Oh, okay. 09:15 Well, what's my interpretation?" 09:17 Unfortunately, Joseph had to share with him 09:19 the bad news 09:21 that after three days, he was actually gonna be... 09:25 He wasn't gonna make it. 09:27 He wasn't gonna be able to live anymore. 09:30 And guess what happened after three days? 09:31 He died. 09:33 He died, but the butler, the cupbearer, 09:36 the butler was restored back to Pharaoh. 09:38 And Joseph said, "When you go back to Pharaoh, 09:40 remember me." 09:41 But did the butler remember Joseph? 09:46 Not immediately, but some time went by. 09:49 And eventually, Pharaoh himself had a dream. 09:54 And during this dream, 09:55 he needed to understand the interpretation 09:57 but his magicians couldn't help it. 09:59 And what was this dream all about? 10:02 The cows and the wine. 10:04 Wow! The cows and the... 10:08 It was the corn stock. 10:09 Very close there. 10:11 There were some cows. 10:12 And how many cows were there? 10:14 Seven. There were seven. 10:15 That's exact... You guys are so sharp. 10:17 There were seven cows. 10:19 And there were seven stalks of corn there. 10:23 So the first dream he had, 10:25 there were seven cows that were really healthy 10:27 and really, you know, fat and good. 10:30 But then seven other cows came 10:32 and they were sickly and skinny and dying. 10:35 And those seven skinny cows came in, they ate, 10:38 they devoured the big cows. 10:40 Can you imagine seeing that in a dream? 10:42 Cows eating other... Whoa! 10:44 What does this mean? 10:45 And then you had the other, 10:48 the second dream where the corn stalks. 10:50 The first seven were really big 10:52 and the next seven were really skinny 10:53 and the same thing happened. 10:55 The skinny stalks of corn came and they ate 10:57 and devoured the seven big ones. 11:00 And Pharaoh said, "What does this mean?" 11:02 And Joseph came in and he explained 11:04 that this dream meant 11:05 that seven years will be plentiful in Egypt, 11:08 but then there will be seven years of famine. 11:11 And Pharaoh knew 11:12 that he needed someone smart and wise, 11:14 like Joseph to manage all the goods 11:17 and the food of Egypt. 11:19 And so Joseph was promoted to be second in command, 11:24 the only person above Joseph in all of Egypt was who? 11:27 Pharaoh. Pharaoh. That's right. 11:29 And as he was putting together 11:31 and collecting food for seven years, 11:33 guess what happened 11:34 after the seven years of plenty? 11:36 Famine. 11:37 Seven years of famine, 11:38 just like the interpretation said would happen. 11:42 And after though, during those seven years of famine, 11:45 Joseph's family and his brothers 11:47 back there in Canaan, 11:48 they thought, "Whoa, we heard that Egypt has lots of food, 11:52 we should go to Egypt and see 11:55 if we can get some food from there." 11:57 So there came, you know, Judah and Simeon, and Reuben, 12:00 and all of his brothers came except for Benjamin. 12:03 And when they came, 12:04 guess who recognized the brothers? 12:07 Joseph. Joseph did. 12:08 He said, "Whoa! These are my brothers." 12:11 And Joseph did a few different things 12:12 to test and see if they really changed. 12:15 That's exactly right to see if they'd repented, 12:17 to see if they had, you know, matured. 12:21 And along that testing process, 12:23 eventually he realized, "Wow, they truly have changed. 12:27 They truly, you know, do love their father, 12:30 and they do love my younger brother, Benjamin." 12:33 And so they're holding back tears. 12:35 Finally, he couldn't hold back tears anymore. 12:37 And he made himself known to his brothers. 12:40 He said, "Brothers, I'm Joseph." 12:42 Wow! 12:44 What a shock do you think that those brothers had? 12:46 They were like, "No way!" 12:48 You know what they did all together? 12:51 They all stood up. Let's all stand up together. 12:53 They stood up and with tears in their eyes, 12:56 they all had a big hug. 12:58 Let's go hug, a big hug. 12:59 Can we do that? Let's give me... 13:01 Oh, they hugged each other and said, "Oh, I love you. 13:04 And I miss you. 13:06 I'm so sorry for what I did for you." 13:07 He wanted to love people. 13:10 Yeah, this is more... 13:12 You know, maybe some of the Egyptians came along, 13:13 and they've joined in the hug too, 13:14 maybe they were crying as well. 13:16 I think that's the case. 13:17 I think they did. 13:19 Yeah. 13:20 Well, I tell you, boys and girls, 13:22 it is about time for us to go. 13:24 But I want you all to remember to search the scriptures 13:29 that you can find your hidden gems there. 13:34 And that's all the time we have for Bible Gems. 13:37 We'll see you next time. Can we say goodbye? 13:39 Bye. |
