The Years of Joseph

The Years of Joseph

He spends 17 years in the land of Canaan with his brothers.

He endures 13 years in Egypt as a slave and a prisoner.

At 30 years of age, he becomes second-in-command of Egypt.

He is 37 years of age after the seven years of plenty.

He is 39 years of age—two years into the famine— when he meets his brothers.

He is 44 years of age after the final five years of famine.

Joseph is 110 years of age when he dies. Thus, he enjoyed 66 years with his family and sees three gener ations of his descendants grow up in Egypt.

The Years of Joseph

From Abram to Abraham: The Name Change (Genesis 17:5)

The sacred name of God, called the tetragramma- ton, is spelled with four Hebrew letters: yod, hei, vav, and hei. When God changes Abram’s name to Abraham, He inserts the Hebrew letter hei from His divine name into Abram’s name. Hei is the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and the biblical number five represents grace. The letter hei also has a strong breathing sound, representing the sound of life when it is pronounced.
God also changes Sarai’s name to Sarah, inserting the second hei of His sacred name into Sarah’s name (see Gen. 17:15). Thus, after God inserts the two letters of His divine name, one into Abraham’s name and the other into Sarah’s, God gives new “life” to Sarah and Abraham, making them fruitful and giving them their son of promise.
