[Guest In Him]

And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.

And Israel said unto Joseph,

Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem?

come, and I will send thee unto them.

And he said to him, Here am I.

And he said to him, Go, I pray thee,

see whether it be well with thy brethren,

and well with the flocks;

and bring me word again.

So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron,

and he came to Shechem.

And a certain man found him,

and, behold, he was wandering in the field:

and the man asked him, saying,

What seekest thou?

And he said, I seek my brethren:

tell me, I pray thee,

where they feed their flocks.

And the man said, They are departed hence;

for I heard them say,

Let us go to Dothan.

And Joseph went after his brethren

and found them in Dothan. Genesis 37:12-17

''And when they saw him afar off, 
.. even before he came near unto them, 
.... they conspired against him to slay him.
And they said one to another, 
.." Behold, this dreamer cometh.
.... Come now therefore, 
...... and let us slay him, 
........ and cast him into some pit, 
.......... and we will say, 
............ Some evil beast hath devoured him: 
.............. and we shall see what will become of his dreams."
And Reuben heard it, 
.. and he delivered him out of their hands; 
.... and said, "Let us not kill him."
...... Reuben said unto them, 
........ "Shed no blood, 
.......... but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, 
............ and lay no hand upon him;" 
............... he might rid him out of their hands,  
................ to deliver him to his father again.
And it came to pass, 
.. when Joseph was come unto his brethren, 
.... that they stript Joseph out of his coat, 
...... his coat of many colours that was on him;
And they took him, 
.. and cast him into a pit: 
.... and the pit was empty, 
...... there was no water in it.'
(Genesis 37:18-24) 

Praise God!

'Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold,
.. the sun and 
.... the moon and 
...... the eleven stars 
........ made obeisance to me.
And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: 
and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, 
What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? 
.. Shall I 
.... and thy mother 
...... and thy brethren
........ indeed come to bow down ourselves 
.......... to thee to the earth?
(Genesis 37:9-10) 

* Jacob's interpretation of Joseph's dream:-
- The Sun = Jacob
- The Moon = Rebecca
- The eleven stars = Joseph's brethren 

* Please compare and consider Revelation 12:1, in relation to this, the twelth star being Joseph himself - Israel as a nation in embryo expressed symbolically as the sun, moon and stars -which identifies the woman of Rev. 12:1:-

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; 
a woman clothed with the sun, 
and the moon under her feet, 
and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
(Rev 12:1)

Thank you.

'And they sat down to eat bread: 
.. and they lifted up their eyes and looked, 
.... and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead 
...... with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, 
........ going to carry it down to Egypt.
And Judah said unto his brethren, 
.."What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
.... Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, 
...... and let not our hand be upon him; 
........ for he is our brother and our flesh." 
And his brethren were content.'
(Genesis 37:25-27) 

Praise God!

'Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; 
.. and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, 
.... and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: 
...... and they brought Joseph into Egypt.'
(Genesis 37:28)

Praise God!

[Guest In Him]

And Reuben returned unto the pit;

and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit;

and he rent his clothes.

And he returned unto his brethren,

and said, The child is not;

and I, whither shall I go?

And they took Joseph's coat,

and killed a kid of the goats,

and dipped the coat in the blood;

And they sent the coat of many colours,

and they brought it to their father;

and said, This have we found:

know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.

And he knew it,

and said, It is my son's coat;

an evil beast hath devoured him;

Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.

And Jacob rent his clothes,

and put sackcloth upon his loins,

and mourned for his son many days.

And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him;

but he refused to be comforted he said

For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning.

Thus his father wept for him. Genesis 37:29-35
