[302] Genesis 37: Joseph is sold into slavery

INCORRECT INTERPRETATION....

Potiphar is FDS4. Joseph (Gordon) is 17 months old in 1994Iyyar. 20 pieces of silver are from 1994Iyyar to 1995Chislev inclusive?? The 2NC King sanctification began on 1995Chislev7. 

Corrections to the NWT:

Joseph when 17 years old happened to be tending his brothers in/among the flock…so he brought a bad report about them to their father (Genesis 37:2)

GENESIS CHAPTER 37
1 And Jacob continued to dwell in the land of the alien residences of his father, in the land of Canaan.
2 This is the history of Jacob. Joseph, when 17 years old, happened to be tending his brothers among the flock, and, being but a boy, he was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, the wives of his father. So Joseph brought a bad report about them to their father.
3 And Israel loved Joseph more than all his other sons, because he was the son of his old age; and he had a long, striped shirtlike garment made for him.
4 When his brothers came to see that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they began to hate him, and they were not able to speak peacefully to him.
5 Later on Joseph had a dream and told it to his brothers, and they found further reason to hate him.
6 And he went on to say to them: Listen, please, to this dream that I have dreamed.
7 Well, here we were binding sheaves in the middle of the field when here my sheaf got up and also stood erect and here your sheaves proceeded to encircle and bow down to my sheaf.
8 And his brothers began to say to him: Are you going to be king over us for certain? or, Are you going to dominate over us for certain? So they found fresh reason to hate him over his dreams and over his words.
9 After that he had still another dream, and he related it to his brothers and said: Here I have had a dream once more, and here the sun and the moon and 11 stars were bowing down to me.
10 Then he related it to his father as well as his brothers, and his father began to rebuke him and say to him: What does this dream that you have dreamed mean? Am I and also your mother and your brothers for certain going to come and bow down to the earth to you?
11 And his brothers grew jealous of him, but his father observed the saying.
12 His brothers now went to feed the flock of their father close by Shechem.
13 After a while Israel said to Joseph: Your brothers are tending [flocks] close by Shechem, are they not? Come, and let me send you to them. At this he said to him: Here I am!
14 So he said to him: Go, please. See whether your brothers are safe and sound and whether the flock is safe and sound, and bring me back word. With that he sent him away from the low plain of Hebron, and he went on toward Shechem.
15 Later a man found him and here he was wandering in a field. Then the man inquired of him, saying: What are you looking for?
16 To this he said: It is my brothers I am looking for. Tell me, please, Where are they tending flocks?
17 And the man continued: They have pulled away from here, because I heard them saying, 'Let us go to Dothan.' So Joseph kept on after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
18 Well, they caught sight of him from a distance, and before he could get close by them they began plotting cunningly against him to put him to death.
19 So they said to one another: Look! Here comes that dreamer.
20 And now come and let us kill him and pitch him into one of the waterpits; and we must say a vicious wild beast devoured him. Then let us see what will become of his dreams.
21 When Reuben heard this he tried to deliver him out of their hand. So he said: Let us not strike his soul fatally.
22 And Reuben went on to say to them: Do not spill blood. Pitch him into this waterpit which is in the wilderness and do not lay a violent hand upon him. His purpose was to deliver him out of their hand in order to return him to his father.
23 So it came about that as soon as Joseph came to his brothers, they went stripping Joseph of his long garment, even the long striped garment that was upon him;
24 after which they took him and pitched him into the waterpit. At the time the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
25 Then they sat down to eat bread. When they raised their eyes and took a look, why, here was a caravan of Ishmaelites that was coming from Gilead, and their camels were carrying labdanum and balsam and resinous bark, on their way to take it down to Egypt.
26 At this Judah said to his brothers: What profit would there be in case we killed our brother and did cover over his blood?
27 Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and do not let our hand be upon him. After all, he is our brother, our flesh. So they listened to their brother.
28 Now men, Midianite merchants, went passing by. Hence they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the waterpit and then sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for 20 silver pieces. Eventually these brought Joseph into Egypt.
29 Later Reuben returned to the waterpit and here Joseph was not in the waterpit. Consequently he ripped his garments apart.
30 When he returned to his other brothers he exclaimed: The child is gone! And I -- where am I really to go?
31 However, they took Joseph's long garment and slaughtered a male goat and repeatedly dipped the long garment in the blood.
32 After that they sent the long striped garment and had it brought to their father and said: This is what we found. Examine, please, whether it is your son's long garment or not.
33 And he went examining it and exclaimed: It is my son's long garment! A vicious wild beast must have devoured him! Joseph is surely torn to pieces!
34 With that Jacob ripped his mantles apart and put sackcloth upon his hips and carried on mourning over his son for many days.
35 And all his sons and all his daughters kept rising up to comfort him, but he kept refusing to take comfort and saying: For I shall go down mourning to my son into Sheol! And his father continued weeping for him.
36 However, the Midianites sold him into Egypt to Potiphar a court official of Pharaoh, the chief of the bodyguard (Genesis 37).
Symbolism:

The King of the remnant is Jesus. But Gordon is God’s and Jesus’ vassal king for the 6^th watch, just as David was, since the Gentile Times are over. He may or may not remain king over the Nethinim in the Kingdom of God, whereas the remnant become kings over all of us at that time.

Phrasing this another way:

Who really is the faithful and discreet slave whom his master appointed over his domestics? (Matthew 24:45)

But he said: Do not be afraid, for there are more who are with us than those who are with them (2 Kings 6:16)

Jesus and the 24 elders etc. bowing down to the earth me (out of appreciation) is the fulfilment of Revelation 5:8-13 (see [39]). I am not King over them, they are king over me (I hope).
