    Genesis 41

    Two things Providence is here bringing about:—I. The advancement of Joseph. II. The maintenance of Jacob and his family in a time of famine; for the eyes of the Lord run to and fro through the earth, and direct the affairs of the children of men for the benefit of those few whose hearts are upright with him. In order to these, we have here, 1. Pharaoh’s dreams, Genesis 41:1-41:8. 2. The recommendation of Joseph to him for an interpreter, Genesis 41:9-41:13. 3. The interpretation of the dreams, and the prediction of seven years of plenty and seven years of famine in Egypt, with the prudent advice given to Pharaoh thereupon, Genesis 41:14-41:36. 4. The preferment of Joseph to a place of the highest power and trust in Egypt, Genesis 41:37-41:45. 5. The accomplishment of Joseph’s prediction, and his fidelity to his trust, Genesis 41:46-41:57MHBCC 42.1
