ISB ~ Acts 7 v9 - 16

A summary of the Joseph story. It receives attention because of its anticipation of the Gospel story:both Joseph and Jesus were rejected by their kinsmen, rescued by God, and made redeemers of the family of Israel.

• The biblical backdrop is Gen 37-47. Allusions to key events are drawn from Gen 37:11, 25-28 (7:9); Gen 41:39-44 (7:10); and Gen 41:53-47:28 (7:11-15).
