GENESIS, TYPICALLY CONSIDERED, CHAPTERS 39 - 40
The righteous Joseph, charged with the sin of which his accuser was guilty, is treated as a malefactor by the Gentile authority — his feet put in the stocks, and the iron entering into his soul; he is delivered to the Gentiles, and by them mystically put to death. There he is the interpreter of restoring blessing and fatal judgment; before there was the counsel of the Lord to Messiah’s natural Jewish and supreme advancement, and exaltation in principle — here rejection and death comes in, but with it, the Lord’s mind in saving and condemning the guilty according to His true counsels.
