The Bible OverBrew - Bible in a YearNäide

Week 2. Day 4. Genesis 41-45.
Joseph is appointed over the land of Egypt, and his brothers end up coming to him (though not recognising him) to buy grain when there is a famine.
Why do you think Joseph tests his brothers as he does in these chapters?
Look at the second half of ch44. Judah offers himself in place of Benjamin. In this way he foreshadows Jesus (Jesus was from the tribe of Judah).
Ch 45 is a key chapter to understand the Joseph story. What is Joseph’s explanation of why everything has happened?
NOTE: Days 1-5 of each week contain the scripture reading for that week. Day 6 has just the 'key chapters'. If you want a briefer version of this plan that still takes you through the whole Bible, you could just read the key chapters featured on day 6. Day 7 has the podcast video where we discuss the week's reading.
About this Plan

The Bible OverBrew is a friendly virtual book group, helping you read the Bible in big chunks, preferably with a mug of tea! Maybe you've tried to read through the Bible before, but gave up when it felt confusing or too intense? We are here to help you! We provide notes and questions to guide your reading, and note ‘key chapters’ if you don’t have time to read it all. In our podcast at the end of each week we draw out the key themes, and how it all points to Christ. We’d love you to join us!
