Day Ten
Genesis 37- 40
By Sarah Christmyer
Bible Time Period: Patriarchs
In the time of the Patriarchs, you called Abraham and promised his children land, a royal kingdom, and worldwide blessing: Help me to trust in your promises today.

Reflection
The remainder of Genesis is taken up with the story of Jacob’s
son Joseph: not his firstborn son, but
his first son with his favorite wife, Rachel.
This is wonderful storytelling, easy to read and imagine, full of truths
about God and the way he relates to his children. The readings today cover Joseph’s early years
and imprisonment in Egypt.

Today’s Question
The flow of the story is interrupted in Chapter 38 with an incident involving Joseph’s older brother Judah. Both men will play key roles in the history of Israel, so it is worth taking note. What is Judah like? How is he different from Joseph?
