Malcom: Welcome To Immerse: The
Daily Bible Reading Experience.

00:00:03.053 --> 00:00:04.053
Day 96

00:00:04.385 --> 00:00:07.685
When Joseph was taken to Egypt
by the Ishmaelite traders.

00:00:08.105 --> 00:00:10.805
He was purchased by Potiphar,
an Egyptian officer.

00:00:11.525 --> 00:00:15.365
Potiphar was captain of the Guard
for Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.

00:00:16.445 --> 00:00:20.945
The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded
in everything he did as he served

00:00:20.945 --> 00:00:22.685
in the home of his Egyptian master.

00:00:23.630 --> 00:00:27.980
Pot afar noticed this and realized
that the Lord was with Joseph, giving

00:00:27.980 --> 00:00:32.930
him success in everything He did
this pleased pot afar, so he soon

00:00:32.930 --> 00:00:34.970
made Joseph his personal attendant.

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:40.790
He put him in charge of his entire
household and everything he owned from

00:00:40.795 --> 00:00:44.030
the day Joseph was put in charge of
his master's household and property.

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.930
The Lord began to bless Potiphar's
household for Joseph's sake.

00:00:48.635 --> 00:00:53.675
All his household affairs ran smoothly
and his crops and livestock flourished.

00:00:54.245 --> 00:00:56.915
So pot far gave Joseph
complete administrative

00:00:56.915 --> 00:00:59.285
responsibility over everything.

00:00:59.285 --> 00:01:01.805
He owned with Joseph there.

00:01:02.135 --> 00:01:05.345
He didn't worry about a thing
except what kind of food to eat.

00:01:06.545 --> 00:01:10.985
Joseph was a very handsome and
well-built young man, and Potiphar's

00:01:10.985 --> 00:01:15.395
wife soon began to look at him,
lustfully, come and sleep with me.

00:01:15.455 --> 00:01:16.205
She demanded.

00:01:17.015 --> 00:01:18.215
But Joseph refused.

00:01:18.845 --> 00:01:23.675
Look, he told her, my master trusts me
with everything in his entire household.

00:01:24.335 --> 00:01:26.735
No one here has more authority than I do.

00:01:27.455 --> 00:01:31.235
He has held back nothing from me
except you, because you are his wife.

00:01:31.745 --> 00:01:33.485
How could I do such a wicked thing?

00:01:34.205 --> 00:01:36.395
It would be a great sin against God.

00:01:37.475 --> 00:01:41.765
She kept putting pressure on Joseph
Day after day, but he refused to

00:01:41.765 --> 00:01:44.915
sleep with her and he kept out
of her way as much as possible.

00:01:45.860 --> 00:01:48.500
One day, however, no one else was around.

00:01:48.500 --> 00:01:53.300
When he went in to do his work, she came
and grabbed him by his cloak, demanding.

00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:55.310
Come on, sleep with me.

00:01:56.150 --> 00:01:59.840
Joseph tore himself away, but
he left his cloak in her hand

00:02:00.020 --> 00:02:01.460
as he ran from the house.

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.140
When she saw that she was holding
his cloak and he had fled, she

00:02:06.140 --> 00:02:07.310
called out to her servants.

00:02:08.030 --> 00:02:09.680
Soon all the men came running.

00:02:09.890 --> 00:02:13.640
Look, she said, my husband
has brought this Hebrew slave

00:02:13.640 --> 00:02:15.290
here to make fools of us.

00:02:15.380 --> 00:02:20.420
He came into my room to rape me, but
I screamed When he heard me scream,

00:02:20.510 --> 00:02:24.680
he ran outside and got away, but
he left his cloak behind with me.

00:02:25.820 --> 00:02:28.490
She kept the cloak with her
until her husband came home.

00:02:29.150 --> 00:02:33.950
Then she told him her story, that Hebrew
slave you brought into our house, tried

00:02:33.950 --> 00:02:35.570
to come in and fool around with me.

00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:36.440
She said.

00:02:36.980 --> 00:02:40.460
But when I screamed, he ran
outside, leaving his cloak with me.

00:02:41.720 --> 00:02:45.680
Phar was furious when he heard his wife's
story about how Joseph had treated her.

00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:49.070
So he took Joseph and threw
him into the prison where the

00:02:49.075 --> 00:02:50.480
king's prisoners were held.

00:02:51.050 --> 00:02:55.340
And there he remained, but the
Lord was with Joseph in the prison

00:02:55.610 --> 00:02:57.440
and showed him his faithful love.

00:02:58.460 --> 00:03:01.130
And the Lord made Joseph a
favorite with a prison warden.

00:03:02.195 --> 00:03:06.635
Before long, the warden put Joseph in
charge of all the other prisoners and over

00:03:06.635 --> 00:03:08.285
everything that happened in the prison.

00:03:09.095 --> 00:03:12.815
The warden had no more worries because
Joseph took care of everything.

00:03:13.505 --> 00:03:17.555
The Lord was with him and caused
everything he did to succeed.

00:03:19.235 --> 00:03:23.165
Sometime later, Pharaoh's chief
cup bearer and chief Baker

00:03:23.195 --> 00:03:24.455
offended their royal master.

00:03:25.490 --> 00:03:28.790
Pharaoh became angry with these
two officials and he put them into

00:03:28.790 --> 00:03:32.630
prison where Joseph was and the
palace of the captain of the guard.

00:03:33.590 --> 00:03:37.070
They remained in prison for quite some
time, and the captain of the guard

00:03:37.070 --> 00:03:41.420
assigned them to Joseph, who looked
after them the while they were in prison.

00:03:41.750 --> 00:03:45.200
Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker
each had a dream one night, and

00:03:45.200 --> 00:03:46.700
each dream had its own meaning.

00:03:47.690 --> 00:03:51.320
When Joseph saw them the next morning,
he noticed that they both looked upset.

00:03:52.205 --> 00:03:53.795
Why do you look so worried today?

00:03:54.035 --> 00:03:58.895
He asked them and they replied,
we both had dreams last night, but

00:03:58.895 --> 00:04:00.755
no one can tell us what they mean.

00:04:01.595 --> 00:04:03.785
Interpreting dreams is God's business.

00:04:04.115 --> 00:04:06.935
Joseph replied, go ahead
and tell me your dreams.

00:04:08.075 --> 00:04:10.775
So the chief cup bearer
told Joseph his dream first.

00:04:11.585 --> 00:04:14.885
In my dream, he said, I saw
a grapevine in front of me.

00:04:15.455 --> 00:04:19.475
The vine had three branches that
began to bud and blossom and soon

00:04:19.475 --> 00:04:21.425
it produced clusters of ripe grapes.

00:04:22.130 --> 00:04:25.910
I was holding Pharaoh's wine cup in
my hand, so I took a cluster of grapes

00:04:25.910 --> 00:04:27.710
and squeezed the juice into the cup.

00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:30.380
Then I placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand.

00:04:31.880 --> 00:04:33.440
This is what the dream means.

00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:37.010
Joseph said The three
branches represent three days.

00:04:37.490 --> 00:04:41.180
Within three days, Pharaoh will
lift you up and restore you to your

00:04:41.180 --> 00:04:43.040
position as his chief cup bearer.

00:04:43.730 --> 00:04:47.150
And please remember me and do me a
favor when things go well for you.

00:04:47.750 --> 00:04:50.330
Mention me to Pharaoh, so he
might let me out of this place.

00:04:51.005 --> 00:04:55.865
For, I was kidnapped from my homeland, the
land of the Hebrews, and now I'm here in

00:04:55.865 --> 00:04:58.175
prison, but I did nothing to deserve it.

00:04:59.375 --> 00:05:02.045
When the chief baker saw that
Joseph had given the first dream,

00:05:02.045 --> 00:05:06.965
such a positive interpretation, he
said to Joseph, I had a dream too.

00:05:07.535 --> 00:05:11.255
In my dream, there were three baskets
of white pastry stacked on my head.

00:05:11.735 --> 00:05:16.115
The top basket contained all kinds of
pastries for Pharaoh, but the birds came

00:05:16.115 --> 00:05:18.185
and ate them from the basket on my head.

00:05:19.475 --> 00:05:21.365
This is what the dream means.

00:05:21.455 --> 00:05:25.865
Joseph told him the three baskets
also represent three days.

00:05:26.525 --> 00:05:31.355
Three days from now, Pharaoh will lift
you up and impale your body on a pole.

00:05:31.955 --> 00:05:34.835
Then birds will come and
peck away at your flesh.

00:05:36.215 --> 00:05:39.785
Pharaoh's birthday came three days
later and he prepared a banquet

00:05:39.785 --> 00:05:41.495
for all his officials and staff.

00:05:42.365 --> 00:05:45.995
He summoned his chief cup bearer and
chief Baker to join the other officials.

00:05:46.535 --> 00:05:50.255
He then restored the chief cup
bearer to his former position so

00:05:50.255 --> 00:05:52.115
he could again hand Pharaoh as cup.

00:05:53.045 --> 00:05:57.185
But Pharaoh impaled the chief
baker, just as Joseph had predicted

00:05:57.185 --> 00:05:58.535
when he interpreted his dream.

00:05:59.405 --> 00:06:00.815
Pharaoh's chief cup bearer.

00:06:00.815 --> 00:06:03.305
However, forgot all about Joseph.

00:06:03.545 --> 00:06:04.865
Never giving him another thought.

00:06:06.635 --> 00:06:09.485
This concludes today's
Immer reading experience.
