Annual Reading Schedule - Torah Given Through Mosheh - Week 10 - Yoseph Sold, Paroh's Dream (Genesis 37:2-41:40)

Reading Questions

  1. What about what Onan did displeased Yahweh?
  2. How did Yehudah (Judah) know what to command Onan to do in Genesis 38:8 if it had not yet been written down formally as a command?
  3. How did Yoseph (Joseph) know adultery was a sin against Elohiym?

Reading Notes

  • We see Re'uven was trying to deliver Yoseph from the hand of his brothers to bring him back to his Father. I guess this is the case because Re'uven was the oldest and knew that he would be held responsible if anything happened to Yoseph.
  • A brother pointed out to me a few interesting things which may or may not be related: one being that the Midyanites were the ones that bought Yoseph, but also the ones Mosheh went to when he left Mitsrayim when he was 40; another being how Yehudah's signet/seal, cord/bracelet, and staff were used against him, and Yoseph's garment was used against him.
