Joseph in disguise
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
Genesis 41:41
Genesis 41:39-45 Pharaoh made Joseph second in command.
This will not be the first time where we see that a Hebrew is given great authority and responsibility in another country where the Hebrews are exiled. Just to name a few, Moses, Daniel, Esther, Nehemiah.. And with all of these, they are actually given other names. They are to dress and look like them. They marry their woman/men. Joseph even names his 1st son Manasseh – which means to forget, not just the bad and hurt of his past, but his entire past. But YHVH doesn’t forget – and Joseph wasn’t lost to YHWH. Even though Joseph suffered so much, his suffering was meant to save others.
