And now, the conclusion of "Joseph: The Series."
So after last week’s cliffhanger ending, Judah steps up and…well pretty much says everything I just said. Joseph finally breaks down [or has a schizophrenic episode. either one] and reveals himself to his brothers. According to the midrash, quite literally. [ie, his circumcision, which weren’t all the rage back in the day. The midrash says a lot of things about this episode, actually. like how Judah and the brothers went all "Justice League" when Joseph was refusing to let Benjamin go, with sonic screams and bleeding tears and running around Egypt with super speed and iron hair. True story.]. At any rate, Joseph sends his bros back home to tell Jacob and to bring everyone down to Egypt so he can take care of them for the rest of the famine.
So after this entire ordeal, theres a happy reunion, tears are shed, and Jacob meets Pharoah. Pharoah asks how old he is, [probably impressed that Jacob strolls into town with twelve kids from four different women and 70 descendants total] to which Jacob says 130 and that those years have been short and evil. Then he blesses Pharoah and bounces.
Wow.
can you imagine that?
Pharoah: Dude, you stroll up in here with SEVENTY heads? How old are you playa playa?
Jacob: [sigh] Oh…yeah…130…had four wives…12 kids…tons of wealth…cattle….fought an angel…[sigh]…miserable life really…But, hey, I totally wish you luck on this whole ruling the known world thing. go do you.
[shakes head]
