Genesis Chapter 37
Joseph
While it is nowhere asserted that Joseph was a type of Christ, the analogies are too numerous to be accidental. They are:
(1) both were especial objects of a father's love (Gen 37:3); (Mat 3:17); (Joh 3:35); (Joh 5:20).
(2) both were hated by their brethren (Gen 37:4); (Joh 15:25).
(3) the superior claims of both were rejected by their brethren (Gen 37:8); (Mat 21:37-39); (Joh 15:24); (Joh 15:25).
(4) the brethren of both conspired against them to slay them (Gen 37:18); (Mat 26:3); (Mat 26:4).
(5) Joseph was, in intent and figure, slain by his brethren, as was Christ (Gen 37:24); (Mat 27:35-37).
(6) each became a blessing among the Gentiles, and gained a Gentile bride (Gen 41:1-45); (Act 15:14); (Eph 5:25-32).
(7) as Joseph reconciled his brethren to himself, and afterward exalted them, so will it be with Christ and His Jewish brethren (Gen 45:1-15); (Deu 30:1-10); (Hos 2:14-18); (Rom 11:1); (Rom 11:15); (Rom 11:25); (Rom 11:26).
