Catholic Bible Daily Reflections Podcast Episode 22 | Genesis 46 - 47 | Israel Settles Into Egypt

Welcome to Episode 22 of the Catholic Bible Daily Reflections Podcast (Daily Reflection #22). Today we are discussing Genesis chapters 46-47 in the NRSV version of the Catholic Bible and reflecting on these events from a today perspective. We see in these chapters that God appears again to Jacob to reassure him that he should go to Egypt, that he will be with him there and will bless him greatly. He also reassures him that he will see Joseph again before he dies in Egypt. Jacob and his entire family (70 persons) enter and settle into Egypt. The famine is so severe that the Egyptians sell everything, including themselves, to survive. God orchestrates all events in his great plan for the Israelites, and he sets everything up for the upcoming slavery and Exodus of the Israelites. I hope you enjoy today’s discussion and reflection ❤️
