    Joseph makes David explain what he said was wrong and then made the whole family pray. One small point that David made, made his father react in such a way shows how religious joseph stern is and how closely he follows the laws. When joseph reacts this way to one small thing a person says, it can indicate or hint at how he would react if he found out about the fact that Petra and David can think shape, and what the consequences would be if he ever found out their secret. This is why David and Petra must take precaution because of the fact that their father is set in stone with his beliefs and that religious fanaticism can influence a person and have no other sympathy for family or anyone if they are not the true image of

    Joseph gave the right interpretations of cupbearer’s dream and baker’s dream (Genesis 40:12-13, 18-19, 21-22). However, as Joseph said before, the interpretations belong to God (40:8), which means that Joseph is an agency of God at that time. So why not Joseph asked God to set him free straightly from the prison as he had wished (40:15). Did this mean that

    The baker's dream, as interpreted by Joseph, lead to a very different end. The dream meant that in three days the Pharaoh would behead the baker and put his head on a pole for the birds to eat. Following Jung's theory, the three baskets were what could be made for the Pharaoh in three days. The baking was the life of the baker, and thus having the birds eat his baking was, through the interpretation on the archetypal bird, was the ending of his life. The exactness of Joseph's interpretations were due mainly to the mystical nature of the Bible.

  • Genesis 45 Analytical Essay

    1454 Words  | 3 Pages

    The literary structure of the Joseph account in Genesis presents itself as sequential. This is evident in the smooth progression of events from the moment Joseph reveals himself to his brothers in verse 4 towards the conclusion of this narrative, where the brothers return to Jacob to tell break the news that Joseph, his beloved son, had invited them to settle in the land of Goshen close to him. The sequential structure of the narrative affords further subdivision of Genesis 45 into four distinct sections: Joseph reveals himself to his brothers (verses 1-4), Joseph forgives his brothers (verses 5-15), Pharaoh commands Joseph (verses 16-20), Pharaoh and Joseph send provisions with the brothers (verses 16-24) and Jacob discovers that

  • Story Of Moses Research Paper

    1204 Words  | 3 Pages

    When Moses was young, he spent his days in the Palace of Egypt since we was adopted by the Pharaoh’s daughter. Further, when Moses presented himself to his brothers, the Jews, they were offended by Moses because Moses had different views from them. Hence, Moses feared and left his people to go to a foreign place, Midian. In Midian, Moses marries a female named Zipporah, who was the daughter of Jericho. Meanwhile, Moses was shepherding the flock of his father in law Jethro, the priest of Midian. In the story of Joseph, Joseph spent his childhood days being his father’s son, under the rule of his father, which is similar to Moses being under the rule of the palace. When Joseph presented himself to his brothers, his brothers were offended, like when the Jews were offended with Moses’s actions. Joseph’s brothers also tried to kill Joseph and let him go to foreigners, where the foreigners took Joseph to Egypt whereas Moses fled to Midian, a completely foreign place. Like Moses getting married in the new place, Joseph also got married to a foreigner from Egypt. This shows that in the story of Moses, there are many allusions to the story of

  • Differences Between the Story of Joseph in the Bible and Intricacies in Sura 12 of the Qur’an

    1171 Words  | 3 Pages

    ...e Biblical story weighs heavily on Joseph’s divine dream interpreting ability and the story it provides, focusing on the theme of God caring for His people and fulfilling his divine plan. The Qur’an appreciates this but sees it as a means to the end of the spread of faith to non-believers. The Christian and Jewish version of Joseph’s trials serves a greater literary purpose than the Qur’an’s version, advancing belief by showing God’s abilities and the way they may be manifested in others in order to fulfill his divine plan. However, the Qur’an expands upon the Biblical version by including additional plot points and explicitly portraying Joseph’s goals and how they align with Islamic theology. The accounts differ in functionality, but both are crucial to the holistic understanding of the story of Joseph and some of the fundamental differences between the religions.

  • Compare And Contrast Joseph In The Quran And The Bible

    1369 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the Bible, he escapes from the wife who wanted to force herself on him, leaving behind his garment. Potiphar’s wife screams and informs the servants that Joseph attempted to defile her. She also waits upon the husband who returns later on and tells him the same story.  The husband believes her and sends Joseph to prison.  Similarly, in the Quran, the two characters, Joseph and the master’s wife struggle. But unlike the Bible, both Joseph and the king’s wife run out towards the door where they meet the husband. Like the in Bible, the wife accuses Joseph of seducing her and attempting to force himself on her.  Similarly, Joseph throws back the blame at her. In this case, however, Joseph is tried and a witness who is the wife’s relation testifies based on Joseph’s torn garment.  Joseph is found innocent and the wife guilty. The king believes in his innocence and asks the wife to repent and ask Joseph for forgiveness.  Instead, new characters-the women of the city are introduced. These characters are unique to the Quran and are not mentioned in the
