Jacob and Egypt: The Sovereignty of God (MacArthur Old Testament Study Guides)
Nearly half the book of Genesis is devoted to the  lives of Jacob and his twelve sons, who were important figures in  the history of Israel and in the history of the Christian church.  The account of their lives takes the term  dysfunctional family  ti a new level. But God used this flawed clan as a  beautiful canvas to portray His providence, judgment, and  mercy.Jacob and Egypt takes an in-depth look at the historical period  beginning when Jacob meets Rachel, continuing through their son  Joseph's captivity as an Egyptian slave, and concluding with the  dramatic rescue of Jacob's family. Studies include close-ups of  Joseph, Pharaoh's chief butler, and others, as well as careful  considerations of doctrinal themes, such as "  The Sovereignty of God"  and " / A  Father's Blessing."This twelve-volume MacArthur Old  Testament Study Guide series provides intriguing twelve-week  examinations of the entire Old Testament. Each guide looks at a  portion of Scripture from three perspectives - historical studies,  character studies and thematic studies - and incorporates extensive  commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing  questions to help you study the Old Testament with guidance from  John MacArthur.
