Genesis 41:45, vs 50-52 NIV
In addition to being the governor of Egypt. I found it interesting that Pharaoh also gave Joseph Asenath, the daughter of the priest of On as a wife.
The priest of On at that time led the worship of the Egyptian sun god as such was a sacred position for Egyptians at the time. I wondered why pharaoh will give Joseph a wife from the family that led idol worshipping in Egypt, knowing quite clearly the difference in faith?. Perhaps it was because Pharaoh believed in the God of Joseph that he wanted him in close proximity to perhaps influence the idol worshipping in Egypt,
We see that the daughter of the priest of On took Joseph’s faith as their children - Manasseh and Ephraim were both Isreal names. The bible does not document how many others that Joseph influenced and came to the faith but it’s interesting to see this positioning.
As we have learnt in previous episodes, whatever the position we are now, let’s shine our light and so people come seeking the God that we serve as they see the difference in us and get eager our source - God
