7. The word “patriarch” comes from a
combination of the Latin word pater,
“father,” and the Greek verb archo,
“to rule.” A patriarch is thus a ruling
ancestor who may have been the
founding father of a family, a clan, or a
nation.
From the Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary

1 Now the LORD had said to Abram: "Get out of your
country, From your family And from your father's house,
To a land that I will show you.
2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make
your name great; And you shall be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him
who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth
shall be blessed."

13 Then He said to Abram: "Know certainly that your
descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and
will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred
years.
14 And also the nation whom they serve I will judge;
afterward they shall come out with great possessions.
15 Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you
shall be buried at a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall return here . . .

21 Now Isaac pleaded with the LORD for his wife, because
she was barren; and the LORD granted his plea, and Rebekah
his wife conceived.
22 But the children struggled together within her; and she
said, "If all is well, why am I like this?" So she went to inquire
of the LORD.
23 And the LORD said to her: "Two nations are in your womb,
Two peoples shall be separated from your body; One people
shall be stronger than the other, And the older shall serve
the younger."

The Story of Joseph

34. Genesis 37:5-7
(NKJV)
5 Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers;
and they hated him even more.
6 So he said to them, "Please hear this dream which I
have dreamed:
7 There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then
behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and
indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down
to my sheaf."

35. Genesis 37:8-9
(NKJV)
8 And his brothers said to him, "Shall you indeed reign
over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?" So
they hated him even more for his dreams and for his
words.
9 Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his
brothers, and said, "Look, I have dreamed another
dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven
stars bowed down to me."

36. Genesis 39:2-4
(NKJV)
2 The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful
man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him and
that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand.
4 So Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him.
Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he
had he put under his authority.

37. Genesis 39:6-8
(NKJV)
6 . . . Now Joseph was handsome in form and
appearance.
7 And it came to pass after these things that his master's
wife cast longing eyes on Joseph, and she said, "Lie with
me."
8 But he refused . . .

38. Genesis 39:21-23
(NKJV)
21 But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy,
and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the
prison.
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's
hand all the prisoners who were in the prison; whatever
they did there, it was his doing.
23 The keeper of the prison did not look into anything that
was under Joseph's authority, because the LORD was with
him; and whatever he did, the LORD made it prosper.

39. Genesis 41:15-16
(NKJV)
15 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have had a dream, and
there is no one who can interpret it. But I have heard it
said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret
it."
16 So Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "It is not in me;
God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace."

40. Genesis 41:38-40
(NKJV)
38 And Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a
one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Inasmuch as God has
shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise
as you.
40 You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be
ruled according to your word; only in regard to the
throne will I be greater than you."

41. Genesis 42:1-3
(NKJV)
1 When Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob
said to his sons, "Why do you look at one another?"
2 And he said, "Indeed I have heard that there is grain in
Egypt; go down to that place and buy for us there, that
we may live and not die."
3 So Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain in
Egypt.
