Glancing Through the Scriptures

 (KJV.)  GENESIS 41:44-50

Joseph becomes ruler'

(44)  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph,  I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.

(45)  And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnath-paaneah, and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On.  And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.

(46)  And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt.  And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh. and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

(47)  And in the seven plenteous years. the earth brought forth by handfuls.

(48)  And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities:  the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.

(49)  And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering;  for it was without number.

(50)  And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.  

ADDENDUM

Did Joseph's dreams pertain to saving his family members from years of starvation:  to attain rulership, or to fulfill the covenanted purposes of God, to Abraham his forefather?
