“Also, the word shiloh means ‘rest and tranquility.’” (Page 165)
“May I call your attention to the fact that Joseph is the one who had the bread. There is another parallel here. Jesus Christ said, ‘I am the Bread of life.’” (Page 96)
“His confidence that God was moving in his life produced in him a faithfulness to whomever he was attached.” (Page 93)
“There is no person in the Old Testament in whose life the purpose of God is more clearly seen than Joseph. The providence of God is manifest in every detail of his life.
