The St0ry Of Passover

And. ii came to pass that the
pharaoh's liking of Egypt chief
butler and his chief baker offend
ed their lord and were put into
the same prison as Joseph. Both
the butler and baker had dreams
which none could interpret. JOS
eph. however. interpreted their
dreams and explained to them.
that within three days. the butler
would be restored to his position
as butler to the pharaoh. He asked
that he remember him and take
him out Of the dungeon. The
baker. he said. would ber hanged
within three days. And. thus it
happened as Joseph had foretold.
Two years following this Incl
dent, the pharaoh dreamed a
dream. He stood at the river, and
out of. the river came seven fat
kline. The pharaoh called the
magicians and wise men of Egypt
to interpret his dream, but they
could not interpret it, and the
pharaoh's spirit was troubled. The
chief butler then approached his
king and said to him, 81 know a
Hebrew who was with me in pris-
on, when Pharaoh was wroth with
me and the baker. We had dreams,
and this Hebrew interpreted our
dreams, and they were so. / am
restored to my position, and the
baker has been hanged"
The pharaoh ordered that this
Hebrew be brought to him imme-
diatelY. He was brought before
Pharaoh. as ordered. and Pharaoh
told him his dream. Joseph said.
Your majesty. the Interpretation
Of your dream is this. The seven
well-fleshed kline are for seven
good and prosperous years in
Egypt. when the ground will yield
plenty. The seven lean kline are
for seven poor years of famine,
when ths ground will be scorched.
and people will go hungry. I
would. advise you. sir. TO appoint a
man Of intelligence to gather all
the foodstuffs in the seven good
years and store il away for the
seven meager years"
Pharaoh replied, II see you are

son remaining of his beloved wife,
Rachel. Judah pleaded, that they
could not go without Benjamin,
and that he personally guaranteed
his brothers. return. Jacob finally
permitted Benjamin to accompany
them, and he gave them fruit,
balm, almonds, honey, nuts, ETC.,
as a gift to the lord of Egypt.
Again. the Brothers stood before
Joseph. He asked them about their
state Of health and about their
father. and he greeted their bro.
Their Benjamin. He had a large
dinner prepared for them. When
their visit had drawn to a close.
he commenced to fill their sacks
with as much food as could be
held in each. and each mans
money was>returned to his sack. In
addition to this. Joseph had his
own silver goblet put into Ben
jamin's sack. Then. they departed.
AS soon as they were out Of the
city. Joseph ordered his stewards
TO overtake them and search their
sacks. The goblet was found in
Benjamin's sack. They were all
brought back to Joseph. in terrible
fear Of what the lord Of Egypt
would do to them. When they ap-
peared bafore him. they pleaded
for mercy and told Joseph of their
fine families and forefathers. and

eph could not resist it any longer.
and he began TO weep. Finally. he
made himself known to his bro
theirs.
He ladened their donkeys with
sufficient food, gave them money,
and with the pharaoh's consent,
he told them to go home and bring
their father and all his family
and belongings to Egypt. They
were to make their home with
him. He also gave them enough
wagons for the women and chill
dren.
When the brothers had once
more returned to Canaan. they
told Jacob that Joseph was alive.
At first. he would not believe
them: but. when they related 70
him all that Joseph had said. he
was convinced that his son was
yet alive. Before he died. he wish
ed to be with his son Joseph. And.
so. they prepared for the journey
to Egypt.
Seventy people were in the
party that came down to Egypt.
Because they were herders, the
pharaoh gave Jacob, his family.

land in Egypt, in place called

of the kings guard. He was so
clever and efficient that his mas
ter made him overseer over all
his household. Joseph was also
very handsome and of good phYsi-
cal stature. The wife Of his master
became enamoured by his charm
ing manner and tried to persuade
him to be with her. Joseph re-.
fused: he told her that he could
not betraY his master: such a
thing would be a sin against God.
This clearly indicates that even
Ia those days our forefathers had
a high standard Of moralitY.) The
masters wife became terribly
angry. because he had refused her
request. Thus. shs waited for the
opportune moment TO take her
revenge upon Joseph. That mo-
nnent came soon. When the serv-
ants wers not in the abode. once
again she attempted to persuade
him TO do her wish. This time she
was more persistent and pulled
him towards her. He pulled the
other way. In the struggle. she
pulled off his garment. Joseph ran
from the house.
Then, the wicked woman called
the servants in to her and said to
them, ''See what the Hebrew,
whom my husband trusted so
much, wanted to do to his masters
wife. He wanted to seduce me.
Here is his garment as proof"
When her husband came home
that evening. the woman present
ed him with the same story. and
she added. Here is what you get
for making a Hebrew your over
seer"
The captain became enraged
and had Joseph put in prison.
Nevertheless. God was with JOS
eph in prison as he was every
where. for Joseph found favor in
the eyes Of the prison keeper. Be-
cause Of his honesty and indus
triousness. he was made trustee.

wisdom. Who could be more fitted
to this position than you? I there
fore, appoint you to this post and
make you my viceroy."
He gave Joseph his signet and
told him that he was second in
command over all of Egypt.
The seven prosperous years be-
gan, and Joseph gathered all the
foodstuffs of the land into ware
houses all over Egypt. Following
these were seven meager years,
and famine was upon all of Egypt
and its neighboring countries.
Peoples from far and wide came
to buy food from Joseph for their
starving populations. The famine
reached Canaan, also.
And. so it was that Jacob said TO
his sons. II hear that there is
plenty in Egypt. Take your dom
keys and money and go down to
Egypt and buy food"
The ten sons of Jacob went
down to Egypt. Only one, Ben
jamin, was left at home with his
father. When the sons came before
Joseph and asked him for food, he
recognized them as his betraying
brothers. He accused them of
being spies and inquired from
whence they had come and whom
they had left at home. They an
swered that they came from
Canaan, leaving there an elderly
father and a younger brother.
They added that they once had
another brother, but that he had
died. Joseph told them, that he
still did not believe them, and that
they were spies. They could prove
themselves by bringing their
youngest brother to Egypt.
He further ordered that Simeon.
the second brother. be held until
Benjamin was brought before him.
He instructed his servants to load
the brothers donkeYs with food
and TO put the money paid him
back into their sacks without
their knowledge. When the bro
theirs were outside the town. they
took of one sack to feed the don
keys. and there they found the
money. They were troubled by
his, but they continued on their
way. Later. arriving at their home.
they told Jacob. their father. of all
that had happened to than. and
Jacob was grieved because OF his
son Simeon.
Sometime after this, when
there was no longer any food,
Jacob asked his sons to 60 again
to Egypt to buy more food. They
told their father that they could
not 90 alone. They must be ac-
companied by their brother, Ben
jamin, as they were so ordered by
the viceroy of Egypt. Jacob ex-
planned that this was impossible,
because Benjamin was the only
