Sermon notes from Jack Abeelen, Morningstar Christian Chapel 1/23/2013 We began this book Genesis, March 7th--last year. So I want to congratulate each of you who have been here for all of the studies. God bless you. I don't know who you are, but I've been here for all of them. And, man, it's been a good journey, learned a lot. In chapter 46, 47, and 48, we followed Israel, Jacob, and his family toward Egypt. And we got to watch Jacob's meetings with Joseph. Some of his meetings with Pharaoh. labor during the final five years during which was then a tremendous time of famine worldwide. And then watch his oversight of the government program to take care of every person under his concern. In all, when Jacob finally showed us there in Egypt, he would live 17 more years with his boy. And they would get to spend time in Egypt's delta, the grazing land of Goshen, at the time where the shepherds of Israel would spend many many years to come. Beginning in verse 28
