New Catholic Picture Bible OT 9 Joseph in Egypt

Joseph became the slave of:

• King Pharaoh

• merchants

• Captain Potiphar

• the chief butler

Who gave Joseph success and help in everything he did?

• the Lord

• Potiphar

• Jacob

• Pharaoh

Joseph was thrown in prison because:

• he hurt Potiphar's wife

• Potiphar's wife lied about him hurting her

• He stole something from Potiphar and his wife

• Potiphar was jealous of his success

Joseph got out of jail because:

• the chief butler was in jail with him and remembered he knew what dreams meant

• Pharaoh heard how famous and helpful he was in Potiphar's house

• Joseph had an important dream about Pharaoh

• Potiphar found out the truth and got him out

The power to understand dreams comes from:

(a)  

The king's dream involved ______ skinny cows eating ______ fat cows and ________ skinny ears of corn eating _________ seven ears of corn.

(a)  

Pharaoh's dreams meant that:

• there would be seven years of good crops, then seven years of famine

• there would be seven years of peace, then seven years of war

• seven of Joseph's brothers would come to Egypt to rule over Pharaoh and his brohters

• Joseph would rule over Egypt for 7 years

"Famine" means:

• A time with few crops and little food

• A time of war and destruction

• A time of good crops and lots of food

As a reward for interpreting the dream, Pharaoh:

• Made Joseph the second-in-command over Egypt

• Let Joseph go free back to his family

• Asked Joseph to become the new Pharaoh

• Worshipped Joseph's God too

The plan for dealing with the coming famine was:

• to store up grain for the seven years before it

• to give extra taxes to save money for the famine

• to invade other countries to take their food

• to pray and hope it didn't happen
