Scripture Reading: Genesis 41

요셉이 “내가 꿈을 꾸었는데, 밭에서 곡식 단을 묶더니 내 단은 일어서고 당신들의 단은 내 단을 둘러서서 절하더이다.-내가 또 꿈을 꾼즉 해와 달과 열한 별이 내게 절하더이다(37:6, 9)” 했다가, 형들에게 미움을 받고 종으로 팔려간 요셉이, 하나님이 보여주신 꿈에 소망을 두고 맡겨지는 일에 순종하며, 하나님의 신령한 지혜를 얻어 바로의 두 관원장의 꿈을 해석하였고, 그대로 이루어진, “이 년 후에 바로가 꿈에 나일 강가에 있는데, 아름답고 살진 일곱 암소가 강에서 올라와 갈밭에서 뜯어먹고, 뒤에 흉하고 파리한 다른 일곱 암소가 강에서 올라와 있더니, 흉하고 파리한 소가 아름답고 살진 일곱 소를 먹은지라 바로가 깨었다가, 다시 잠이 들어 꿈을 꾸니 한 줄기에 무성하고 충실한 일곱 이삭이 나오고, 후에 가늘고 동풍에 마른 일곱 이삭이 나오더니, 가는 일곱 이삭이 무성하고 충실한 일곱 이삭을 삼킨지라. 마음이 번민하여 애굽의 점술가와 현인들을 모두 불러 꿈을 말하였으나 해석하는 자가 없었듯(41:1-8)” 요셉과 동행하는 임마누엘 하나님께서 역사하시므로, “술 맡은 관원장이 바로에게 내 죄를 기억하나이다. 바로께서 종들에게 노하사 나와 떡 굽는 관원장을 친위대장의 집에 가두셨을 때에, 나와 그가 하룻밤에 꿈을 꾸고, 친위대장의 종 히브리 청년에게 말하매 우리의 꿈을 해석하더니, 그대로 되어 나는 복직되고 그는 매달렸나이다. 바로가 사람을 보내어 요셉을 부르매 급히 옥에서 내 놓은지라 요셉이 수염을 깎고 옷을 갈아 입고 들어가니, 바로가 요셉에게 내가 꿈을 꾸었으나 해석하는 자가 없더니 너는 꿈을 들으면 능히 푼다 하더라(41:9-15)” 하였듯, 요셉이 해결사로 불려갔습니다.

For Joseph, the son of Jacob was sold to slavery to Egypt by his brothers of their jealousy and hatred, because, he had dreams from God, and said to them, as “I had a dream, we were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it—I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me. (36:6, 9)” However, Joseph was trusted his dreams from God and everything to do faithfully, that’s why God be with him and gave spiritual wisdoms and blessing to him everything as well, so that he had been interpreted the dreams of the officials of the Pharaoh, and the God of Immanuel with Joseph, was done through his interpretation, after that “When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the mile, when out of the river there came up seven cows, sleek and fat, and they grazed among the reeds. After them, seven other cows, ugly and gaunt, came up out of the Nile and stood beside those on the riverbank. And the cows that were ugly and gaunt ate up the seven sleek, fat cows. Then Pharaoh woke up. He fell asleep again and had a second dream: Seven heads of grain, healthy and good, were growing on a single stalk. After them, seven other heads of grain sprouted-thin and scorched by the east wind. The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full heads. Then Pharaoh woke up; it had been dream. In the morning his mind was troubled, so he sent for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him. (41:1-8)” That’s why, Joseph called by Pharaoh the king of Egypt for interpreter of his dreams, as “The chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, Today I am reminded of my shortcomings. Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he imprisoned me and the chief baker in the house of the captain of the guard. Each of us had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own. Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams, and he interpreted them for us, giving each man the interpretation of his dream. And things turned out exactly as he interpreted them to us: I was restored to my position, and the other man was hanged. So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon. When he had sheaved and changed his clothes, he came before Pharaoh. Pharaoh said to Joseph, I had a dream, and no one can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it. (41:9-15)”

그래서 요셉이 “내가 아니라 하나님께서 바로에게 편안한 대답을 하시리이다(41:16)” 겸손하게 대답했고, 바로가 “내가 꿈에 나일 강가에서, 보니 살지고 아름다운 일곱 암소가 강가에 올라와 갈밭에서 뜯어먹고, 뒤에 약하고 심히 흉하고 파리한 일곱 암소가 올라오니 그같이 흉한 것들은 내가 아직 보지 못한 것이라. 파리하고 흉한 소가 일곱 살진 소를, 먹었으나 먹은 듯 하지 아니하고 여전히 흉하더라 내가 깨었다가, 다시 꿈에 보니 한 줄기에 무성하고 충실한 일곱 이삭이 나오고, 후에 가늘고 동풍에 마른 일곱 이삭이 나더니, 가는 이삭이 좋은 일곱 이삭을 삼키더라 그것을 내게 풀이해 주는 자가 없느니라(41:17-24)” 하므로, “요셉이 바로의 꿈은 하나라 하나님이 하실 일을 바로에게 보이심이니이다. 일곱 좋은 암소는 일곱 해요 일곱 좋은 이삭도 일곱 해니 꿈은 하나라. 파리하고 흉한 일곱 소와 동풍에 말라 속이 빈 일곱 이삭도 일곱 해 흉년이니--애굽 온 땅에 일곱 해 큰 풍년이 있겠고, 후에 일곱 해 흉년이 들므로 풍년을 다 잊어버리고 기근으로 망하리니, 흉년이 너무 심하므로 이전 풍년을 기억하지 못하게 되리이다(41:25-31)” 해석하며 성령의 지혜를 따라 “하나님이 꿈을 두 번 꾸게 하셨으므로 속히 행하시리니, 명철하고 지혜로운 사람을 택하여 애굽 땅을 다스리게 하시고, 감독관들을 두어 일곱 해 풍년에 애굽 땅의 오분의 일을 거두되, 장차 올 풍년의 모든 곡물을 거두고 각 성읍에 쌓아 두게 하고, 저장하여 애굽 땅에 임할 일곱 해 흉년에 대비하면 망하지 아니하리이다(41:32-36)” 제안하였습니다.

However, the Joseph, humbly said to Pharaoh, as “I cannot do it, but God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires. (41:16)” Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “In my dream I was standing on the bank of the Nile, when out of the river there came up seven cows, fat and sleek, and they grazed among the reeds. After them, seven other cows came up-scrawny and very ugly and lean. I had never seen such ugly cows in all the land of Egypt. The lean, ugly cows ate up the seven fat cows that came up first. But even after they ate them, no one could tell that they had done so; they looked just as ugly as before. Then I woke up. In my dreams I also saw seven heads of grain, full and good, growing on a single stalk. After them, seven other heads sprouted-withered and thin and scorched by the east wind. The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads. I told this to the magicians, but none could explain it to me. (41:17-24)” Then Joseph was interpretation that dreams of the Pharaoh, as “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do. The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years; it is one and the same dream. The seven lean, ugly cows that came up afterward are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind: they are seven years of famine. It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do. Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt, but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land. The abundance in the land will not be remembered, because the famine that follows it will be so severe. (41:25-31)” Besides, he can advise to the Pharaoh within the wise of the Holy Spirit of his Immanuel God, as “The reason the dream was given to Pharaoh in two forms is that the natter has been firmly decided by God, and God will do it soon. And now let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man and put him in charge of the land of Egypt. Let Pharaoh appointed commissioners over the land to take a fifth of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance. They should collect all the food of these good years that are coming and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh, to be kept in the cities of food. This food should be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine that will come upon Egypt, so that the country may not be ruined by the famine. (41:32-36)”

그러자 “바로가 이같이 하나님의 영에 감동된 사람을 우리가 어찌 찾을 수 있으리요 하고, 요셉에게 하나님이 모든 것을 보이셨으니 너와 같이 명철하고 지혜로운 자가 없도다. 내 집을 다스리라 내 백성이 다 네 명령에 복종하리니 내가 너보다 높은 것은 왕좌뿐이니라. 바로가 요셉에게 애굽 온 땅의 총리가 되게 하노라 하고, 인장 반지를 빼어 요셉의 손에 끼우고 세마포 옷을 입히고 금 사슬을 목에 걸고, 버금 수레에 태우매 무리가 엎드리라 소리 지르더라--바로가 요셉에게 애굽 땅에서 네 허락이 없이는 수족을 놀릴 자가 없으리라 하며, 이름을 사브낫바네아라 하고 온의 제사장 보디베라의 딸 아스낫을 아내로 주었고, 요셉이 애굽 왕 바로 앞에 설 때에 삼십 세라. 일곱 해 풍년에 토지 소출이 심히 많은지라. 애굽 땅에 칠 년 곡물을 거두어 저장하되 그 성읍에 쌓아 두매, 곡식이 바다 모래 같이 심히 많아 세기를 그쳤듯(41:38-49)” 팔려온 종이며 죄수가 13년만에 총리가 되어 7년 동안 풍작으로 남는 곡물을 모아 흉년을 대비하였고, “흉년이 들기 전에 요셉에게 두 아들이 나되 온의 제사장 보디베라의 딸 아스낫이 낳은. 장남을 므낫세라 하였으니 하나님이 내 모든 고난과 아버지의 집 일을 잊어버리게 하셨다 함이요. 차남을 에브라임이라 하였으니 내가 수고한 땅에서 번성하게 하셨다 함이었듯(41:50-52)” 행복한 가정을 이루고 사랑스러운 아들들을 얻는 복을 받았습니다.

That is why, he was authorized for prime minister in Egypt even though he was foreign slaver and a prisoner, by the command of the Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and he gathered and stored for the surpluses foods during the abundances seven years, to prepared the seven years famine, as “So Pharaoh asked them, Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God? Then Pharaoh said to Hoseph, Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you. You will be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will be I greater than you. So Pharaoh said to Joseph, I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. He had him ride in a chariot as his second-in command, and men shouted before him, Make way! Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, but without your word no one will lift hand or foot in all Egypt. Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-Paneah and gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph went throughout the land of Egypt. Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout Egypt. During the seven years of abundance the land produced plentifully. Joseph collected all the food produced in those seven years of abundance in Egypt and stored it in the cities. In each city he put the food grown in the fields surrounding it. Joseph stored up huge quantities of grain, like the sand of the sea; it was so much that he stopped keeping records because it was beyond measure. (41:38-49)” And he had been established happiness family and house with lovely wife and the sons through the blessed of God, as “Before the years of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On. Joseph named his firstborn Manasseh and said, It is because God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father’s household. The second son he named Ephraim and said, It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering. (41:50-52)”

그리고 “일곱 해 풍년이 그치고, 일곱 해 흉년이 들고, 온 땅이 굶주리매 백성이 부르짖어 양식을 구하는지라 바로가 애굽 모든 백성에게 요셉이 이르는 대로 하라 하였고, 요셉이 모든 창고를 열고 애굽 백성에게 팔새, 기근이 온 세상에 심하므로 각국 백성도 양식을 사려고 애굽으로 들어와 요셉에게 이르렀듯(41:53-57)” 애굽과 주변 모든 민족을 흉년과 기근에서 구원하는 훌륭한 지도자가 되어, 온 세상 모든 죄를 대속하고 구원하는 예수 그리스도를 상징하며 전지전능하신 창조주 하나님 여호와께서 유일무이한 신으로 세상을 다스리는 하나님이라 전하고 증거하며 영광을 돌렸는데, 하나님께서 보여주신 꿈 대로 이루신다 믿고 의지하며 맡기고 순종하며 기다리면, 하나님께서 정하신 때에 맞추어 높이고 사용하며 이루는 임마누엘 형통한 은혜와 사랑과 능력과 복을 얻는다는 뜻이므로, 성경 말씀을 사랑하며 성령의 가르침을 받고, 성령께서 가르치는 진리와 사명에 소망을 두고 고난과 핍박까지 기뻐하고 감사하며 맡기고 기다리며 순종하여, 임마누엘 하나님의 형통한 은혜와 사랑과 능력으로 세상에서 성공하고 그리스도 복음의 진리를 전하는 세상의 빛과 소금이 되는 생명의 열매를 맺고 구원 얻기를 예수 이름으로 축복하며 기도합니다. 아멘.

That’s why, he was the honorable minister of Egypt and the savior of the famine to the whole lands and the nations, as “The seven years of abundance in Egypt came to an end, and the seven years of famine began just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all the other lands, but in the whole land of Egypt there was food. When all Egypt began to feel the famine, the people cried to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh told all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph and do what he tells you. When the famine had spread over the whole country, Joseph opened the storehouses and sold grain to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe throughout Egypt. And all the countries came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the world. (41:53-57)” so that Joseph was the symbol of the Christ Jesus and the eye witness of the Sovereign Lord and praised to God. Therefore, brothers and sisters! If you will trust the promised words of God and entrusted yourselves to God and always be gladly, thankfully, humbly obeying to his true wills through the Holy Spirit, then God will be exalted you and works with you to be prosperous everything as well, and uses you to be truthful witness of the Christ Jesus by your good and righteousness lives and bearing the fruits of the life with loves in Christ Jesus and save your eternal life to the kingdom of God in the heaven forever. I hopefully prayer and plead to God for your blessing, you will be as good and worthy faith in Christ Jesus all. Amen.
