Exodus 4-6 Moses complains to God about his inability to speak, then Aaron is included as they go speak to the Israelites and to Pharaoh.

A new generation of Israelites becomes numerous. A new Pharaoh oppresses them, and they cry out to God, who raises up Moses to deliver them.

Israel gives his blessing before he dies, and Joseph also dies as we conclude the book of Genesis.

Jacob (Israel) moves from Canaan to Goshen with all he owns. The famine is severe and Pharaoh acquires all the land, except that of the priests.

Joseph reveals his true identity.

Joseph interprets Pharoah’s dream and is restored to a position of prominence. Pharaoh’s dream comes true, and Joseph’s brothers come to Egypt for food.

Some adult situations arise as Tamar is mistreated, Joseph flees from Potiphar’s wife and her pursuits, and Joseph is forgotten after he interprets the dreams of the cupbearer and baker.

The family drama continues. Jacob and Esau separate and their descendants are listed. Jacob becomes Israel and his descendants are listed. Joseph has dreams which make his brothers angry, and they sell him as a slave.

Jacob returns to his brother Esau, wondering if he will be accepted. The men of Shechem wish to intermarry, but it doesn’t end well for them.

Jacob increases his flocks and his household and leaves to return to his father.
