Genesis 41:1-57 NIV

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 41:37-57

Joseph, Exalted, Prepares for Famine Genesis 41:37-57 The Spirit of God was evidently in Joseph, but so far from rendering him a mere visionary, it made him eminently practical. Have your visions of God, but descend from your housetop to answer the men who knock at your door! See Acts 10:1-48 . In this story we see reflected the glories of our Lord, who was raised to the throne, to become a Prince and a Savior, the Giver of the Bread of Life to the perishing souls of men. But He sells... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 41:1-57

Still the divine activity proceeded. Now it was Pharaoh who dreamed, and now the butler remembered. The result was that Joseph was brought before the king, and as he stood in the royal presence he was still the same man, dependent on God and proclaiming his dependence. In answer to the king's declaration that he had heard of his power to interpret dreams, Joseph said, "it is not in me: God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace." He then proceeded to interpret Pharaoh's dreams. The result was... read more

God Intervenes for Joseph Genesis 41:9-37 INTRODUCTORY WORDS How the words ring out with almost appalling sadness: "Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him." 1. Joseph had shown marked kindness to the chief butler, yet he forgat him. We stop for a moment to ponder the kindness of God toward us in Christ Jesus. This Scripture is most suggestive: "Therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee." Another Scripture just as wonderful is, "After the kindness of God our... read more

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

Joseph, the Administrator Genesis 41:45-57 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We delight in stepping into the scenes that covered fourteen years of Egyptian history seven years of plenty, and seven years of famine. During all of that period Joseph sat, as it were, at Pharaoh's right hand, clothed with authority and power. 1. Joseph, the administrator, was ruling under an invested power. His power was given him by Pharaoh, It was given by Pharaoh upon the basis of his (Joseph's) wisdom. Our Lord Jesus Christ... read more

POTENTATE AND PRISONER‘Pharaoh sent and called Joseph.’ Genesis 41:14 I. Trouble is glad to find a deliverer anywhere, it matters not what his condition may be. Else had Pharaoh scorned the notion of seeking instruction from a Hebrew slave out of a dungeon. The readiness of the king to profit by the experience of others is commendable. Why remain sick when there is a Physician with ‘balm in Gilead’? II. The king’s pleasure cannot wait.—There must be no delay in bringing Joseph out of prison;... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 41:41

PRISON TO PALACE‘Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.’ Genesis 41:41 Pharaoh was a wise king. When he found a man of capacity and honesty like Joseph, he made use of him. And he did it in a royal style. He gave him a place in which he could use his qualities for the kingdom, and he invested the place with dignity and honour. The story is illustrative of the free and sweeping way an Eastern monarch ruled. But it is true of the life of Eastern lands to-day.... read more

And behold seven other cows came up after them out of the Nile, gaunt and thin and bony, and stood by the other cows on the brink of the Nile. And the gaunt, thin... read more
