Memory verses for this week: 1Ti 3:4  One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;  1Ti 3:5  (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
 
Introduction: We continue our study on the book of Genesis this week as Jacob and his family move into their new home in the land of Goshen in Egypt. We begin this week's lesson as Jacob and his sons come before Pharaoh.
 
 
I. Jacob and His Sons before Pharaoh
 
Gen 47:1  Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
Gen 47:2  And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
 
 
Joseph first comes and tells Pharaoh that his family have arrived from the land
of Canaan and they now are in the land of Goshen. He first announces their
arrival and then took five of his brethren in before Pharaoh.They are asked what
their occupation is, and they tell him they are shepherds. Honesty is normally
the best policy, although this was not the advice Joseph gave them in the end
of chapter 46.
