1. T/F—The rest of Genesis is devoted solely to Joseph. Explain your answer.
Answer: False--The story of Joseph is regarded as among the best short stories of the world because of its “dramatic movement, its brilliant color, its play of all the elemental passions, and its abiding human interest ... "Apart from the episode involving Judah and
Tamar (chapter 38) and Jacob’s farewell blessing (chapter 49), the rest of Genesis is devoted to Joseph’s life. (Davis, page 262).
2. Describe in detail Jacob’s gift to Joseph and the implications of the gift.
Answer: His gift to Joseph of a “coat of many colours” (keṯoneṯ passîm), a further evidence of his preference for Joseph, caused the brothers to hate Joseph even more. The expression keṯoneṯ passîm has been translated three principal ways: “a coat of many colors,” “a long-sleeved robe,” and “an ornamented tunic.” (Davis, page 263).
3. What was the basic theme of Joseph’s dreams?
Answer: The dreams of Joseph, like those of Abimelech (20:3), Jacob (28:12ff.; 31:11), and Laban (31:24), were divinely inspired, but unlike them his was filled with symbolism. So were those of the baker, the butler, and Pharaoh. In Joseph’s first dream (v. 7) he and his brothers were binding sheaves in the field, and his brothers’ sheaves “made obeisance” to Joseph’s. The meaning of the dream was obvious to Joseph’s brothers (v. 8). In his second dream the personification of natural elements is extended to the sun and moon. They, too, bowed down to Joseph, making him supreme even over his parents (v. 9). When his father heard the dreams, he was astonished and rebuked Joseph (v. 10). His brothers reacted even more strongly (v. 11). (Davis, page 264).
4. What is the irony found in the coat dipped in goat’s blood?
Answer: He apparently helped his brothers stain Joseph’s coat with the blood of a goat (v. 31). When the coat was shown to Jacob, he immediately went into mourning for his son, thinking he had been killed by a wild animal (vv. 32-35). There is a touch of irony here: Jacob, who had deceived his father with a goat’s skin, was deceived by his sons with goat’s blood. (Davis, page 264).
5. List the several views of Joseph’s date of entrance into Egypt—which one is the most compatible with Scripture and why?
Answer: Dating Joseph’s entrance into Egypt (v. 36) and his rise to power is difficult, in part because the pharaoh of the Joseph narratives is not named. H. H. Rowley and
