This name is prophetic of Joseph's life, as God continually added blessings and responsibilities to him. Joseph's journey from favored son to slave, and then to a powerful leader in Egypt, exemplifies God's providence and faithfulness. His life is a testament to the truth that God can use any circumstance for His purposes.<p><b>and his father’s household</b><br />This phrase refers to the family of Jacob, also known as Israel. The household of Jacob, which included his sons and their families, had moved to Egypt during a time of famine. This relocation was part of God's plan to preserve the lineage of Israel and fulfill His covenant promises. The presence of Jacob's household in Egypt sets the stage for the future enslavement and eventual Exodus, a pivotal event in Israel's history.<p><b>remained in Egypt</b><br />The Hebrew word for "remained" can also be translated as "dwelt" or "settled." This indicates a sense of permanence and stability. Although Egypt was not the Promised Land, God had a purpose for Israel's sojourn there. It was a place of growth and multiplication for the Israelites, preparing them for their eventual return to Canaan. This period in Egypt is a reminder of God's sovereignty and His ability to work through unexpected circumstances.<p><b>and Joseph lived</b><br />The phrase "Joseph lived" highlights the longevity and fulfillment of Joseph's life. Despite the trials he faced, Joseph's life was marked by God's favor and blessing. His ability to live a full life in Egypt, a foreign land, underscores the theme of God's provision and protection.
