Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt The phrase "Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt" marks a significant transition in Joseph's life and the narrative of Genesis. The Hebrew root for "taken down" is "yarad," which often implies a descent or a lowering, both physically and metaphorically. This descent into Egypt is not just geographical but also represents a humbling of Joseph's status, from favored son to a slave. Egypt, in the biblical context, is often seen as a place of both refuge and testing for the people of Israel. Historically, Egypt was a powerful and advanced civilization, and Joseph's journey there sets the stage for God's providential plan to unfold. where an Egyptian named Potiphar an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there Parallel Commentaries ...
