Remember the third Promise God Remember the third Promise God made to Abraham?made to Abraham?

Genesis 13:14-17 And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: "Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are--northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever. And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered. Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you."

Did Abraham ever own this land that was promised to

him?

Did Abraham live to see the numbers of his offspring

become uncountable?

Joseph Joseph

Jacob’s older brothers hated him because he was the most beloved of their father, and for the dreams he had (Gen. 37:1-11)

His brothers threw him into a well before selling him to some passing Midianites, who sold him as a slave in Egypt.

Joseph became very powerful in Egypt, commanding all of Egypt after Pharaoh.

Joseph’s brothers bowed down to Joseph, just as his dreams predicted

Exodus 1:6-14Exodus 1:6-14

A man called MosesA man called Moses

Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.

The LORD said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering.

So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey.’
