Genesis Chapter 41
I. Observation Notes
• Who are the main characters? What do we know about them?
• Joseph:
• Pharaoh:
II. Interpretation
• What principles are illustrated in this passage? What is the main theme?
• What do we know or learn about God from this passage? What is his role in this chapter?
• Why do you think God chose to reveal his plans to Pharaoh (i.e. famine)? How might this fit into
his overall long-term plans?
III. Applications
• Joseph recognized that the source of his wisdom, his ability to interpret dreams, came from God.
Do we acknowledge God’s hand in our lives when others ask about it? Joseph turned a question
from the ruler of the land (Pharaoh) into an opportunity to share about his God...so should we.
• Joseph was enslaved for 13 years before being appointed as second in command of Egypt, yet he
continued to trust God and acknowledge him as the one in control. How do we respond when
faced with challenges in our own lives…do we lose faith or do we continue to trust God’s plan?
