Joseph, Prince of Egypt
Joseph not only explains to Pharaoh the meaning of his dream, which concerns the future political and economic problem of the country of Egypt—he also provides Pharaoh with the solution. Joseph does not merely content himself with the revelation of God’s plans. Nor is he passive, waiting for God to perform another miracle. Joseph suggests to Pharaoh that he appoint a “discerning and wise man” to manage the complex operation of preparing for the famine.

The story of Joseph covers the last section of the book of Genesis, from his first dreams in Canaan to his death in Egypt (Gen. 50:26). In fact, Joseph occupies more space in the book of Genesis than does any other patriarch. We will also see that the life of Joseph highlights two important theological truths: first, God fulfills His promises; second, God can turn evil into good.
