  1. Genesis 40 and 41 By: Amy Bray, Amanda Shinn, and Megan Matthews

  2. Background: Genesis 40 • The king became anger with two of his servants: Wine pourer and baker. • He put them in jail in the care of Joseph. • The two servants had dreams and Joseph interpreted the dreams. • They foreshadowed the servants futures. • Josephs predictions came true.

  3. Literal Sense: Genesis 40 • Key events: Joseph interpreted the king’s servants dreams in jail. • Place: a jail in Egypt • Theme: God spoke through Joseph to tell the servants what would happen. • Characters: Joseph, Wine pourer, King, Baker and God • God is involved by acting through Joseph.

  4. Moral Sense: Genesis 40 • Listen to what other have tell you because it could help you in the end. • No matter what trust in God and do what he tells you. • We should act like Joseph. • Because he helped the servants even though he didn’t have to. “Joseph said to him in reply ‘This is what it means the three baskets are three days; within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and have you impaled on a stake and the birds will be pecking the flesh off your body.” Genesis 40: 18-19

  5. Allegorical Sense: Genesis 40 • The criminals crucified along with Jesus are represented by the servants of the King. • The wine pourer represents the man who asked for forgiveness. • The baker represents the one who does not follow God.

  6. Anagogical Sense: Genesis 40 • By trusting God and having faith will help you to grow closer to God. • God will help you be guided to heaven, and lead you away from temptations. • Others can help you along the way.

  7. Background of Genesis 41 • Pharaoh had two dreams: Both had 7 years of famine and 7 years of abundance. • Joseph opened all the cities during the famine and rationed the food for the Egyptians • Pharaoh took Joseph out of prison to interpret his dreams. Everything he said came true.

  8. Literal Sense: Genesis 41 • Key characters: Pharaoh, Joseph, and God • Events: Pharaoh’s dreams, Joseph traveling to Egypt, Joseph interpreting the dreams. • Theme: 7 years of famine and abundance • Place: Egypt

  9. Moral Sense: Genesis 41 • We can listen to what our spiritual leaders tell us. • We should act like Joseph because he is messenger of God. • Pharaoh looked through magicians to interpret the dream instead of God. “When the 7 years of abundance enjoyed by the land of Egypt the 7 years of famine set in just as Joseph had predicted.” Genesis 41:53-54

  10. Allegorical Sense: Genesis 41 • The 7 years of famine is like before creation • The 7 years of abundance is like the 7 days God made the world. • Joseph rationed the wheat as Jesus distributed the fish and bread.

  11. Anagogical Sense: Genesis 41 • Always look to God for help. • Always be positive in a bad situation because God will make it good. • With God all things are possible.
