Genesis 41:14 Summary

[This verse tells us that Joseph was brought out of prison and into the presence of Pharaoh because of his ability to interpret dreams. Joseph's experience shows us that God can use our gifts and talents to bring us into places of influence and power, as seen in Genesis 41:15. Joseph's humility and respect for Pharaoh are also an example to us, as we are called to respect and honor those in authority over us, as seen in Romans 13:1-2. By trusting in God's sovereignty and timing, we can, like Joseph, be used by God to bring blessing and glory to others.]

Frequently Asked Questions

Why was Joseph brought out of the dungeon so quickly after being imprisoned for so long?

Joseph was brought out of the dungeon quickly because Pharaoh had a dream that he needed help interpreting, and he had heard that Joseph could interpret dreams, as seen in Genesis 41:15, where Pharaoh says, 'I have heard it said of you that when you hear a dream you can interpret it.'

What is the significance of Joseph shaving and changing his clothes before going in before Pharaoh?

Joseph's actions of shaving and changing his clothes show respect and humility before Pharaoh, demonstrating that he was willing to present himself in a manner that was pleasing to the king, much like the instruction in 1 Samuel 16:7, where God looks at the heart, but outward appearance can still be important in certain contexts.

How does this verse relate to the theme of God's sovereignty in Joseph's life?

This verse shows how God was working behind the scenes to bring Joseph to a place of influence and power, as seen in Genesis 50:20, where Joseph says, 'You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.'

What can we learn from Joseph's experience about waiting on God's timing?

Joseph's experience teaches us to trust in God's timing and to be patient, even when things seem to be delayed, as seen in Psalm 27:14, which says, 'Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.'

Reflection Questions

  1. What are some areas in my life where I feel like I am in a 'dungeon' or a place of darkness and waiting, and how can I trust God to bring me out of those places?
  2. How can I, like Joseph, demonstrate humility and respect in my interactions with others, especially those in positions of authority?
  3. What are some dreams or desires that I have been putting off or feeling stuck about, and how can I trust God to bring them to pass in His timing?
  4. In what ways can I, like Joseph, be a blessing to others and bring glory to God in the midst of challenging circumstances?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 41:14

Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 41:14

The dungeon, or prison, by a synecdoche of the part for the whole. For it is not probable that Joseph, who was now so much employed, and intrusted with all the affairs of the prison and prisoners, , should still be kept in the dungeon properly so called. He shaved himself; for till then he suffered his hair to grow, as the manner was for persons in prison, or under great sorrow, . But to appear in a mournful dress before the king was not convenient, nor usual. Compare .

Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 41:14

Genesis 41:14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved [himself], and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.Ver. 14. And they brought him hastily.] Heb., They made him run: who haply knew not what this haste and hurry meant, but was betwixt hope and fear till he came to the king. It is God that "bringeth low, and lifteth up; that raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set him among princes," &c. In the year of grace 1622, the Turkish Janizaries, who have learned that damnable art of making and unmaking their king at pleasure, drew Mustapha, whom they had formerly deposed, out of prison: and when he begged for his life they assured him of the empire; and carrying him forth upon their shoulders, cried with a loud voice "This is Mustapha, Sultan of the Turks; God save Mustapha, &c.," with which sudden change the man was so affected that he fell into a swoon for joy, and they had much ado to keep life in him. Our Henry IV was crowned the very same day, that the year before he had been banished the realm And changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.] And should not we get on our best when we are to come before God? Should we accost him in the nasty tattered rags of the old Adam; and not spruce up ourselves with the best of our preparation? Mustapha, subita illa mutatione qua ex carcere ad summam dignitatem et potentiam evectus erat, ita commotus fuit, ut animi deliquium pateretur ,& c. - Parei. Medul., p. 1165. Dan., Hist. of Engl., p. 48.

Ellicott's Commentary on Genesis 41:14

(14) He shaved himself.—Herodotus (ii. 36) mentions that the Egyptians suffered their hair and beards to grow only when in mourning; whereas in Palestine the beard was regarded as a manly ornament. On Egyptian monuments only captives and men of low condition are represented with beards. In the prison, therefore, Joseph would leave his beard untrimmed, but when summoned into the king’s presence, he would shave it off. Abravanel notices that for each suffering of Joseph there was an exact recompense. It was for dreams that his brethren hated him, and by help of dreams he was exalted in Egypt. They stripped him of his many-coloured coat; the Egyptians clothed him in byssus. They cast him into a pit, and from the pit of the prison he was drawn forth by Pharaoh. They sold him into slavery; in Egypt he was made lord.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Genesis 41:14

Verse 14. They brought him hastily out of the dungeon] Pharaoh was in perplexity on account of his dreams; and when he heard of Joseph, he sent immediately to get him brought before him. He shaved himself - having let his beard grow all the time he was in prison, he now trimmed it, for it is not likely that either the Egyptians or Hebrews shaved themselves in our sense of the word: the change of raiment was, no doubt, furnished out of the king's wardrobe; as Joseph, in his present circumstances, could not be supposed to have any changes of raiment.

Cambridge Bible on Genesis 41:14

14. and they … dungeon] A clause probably introduced, like that in Genesis 40:15, in order to harmonize the E with the J version. In E, Joseph is a slave, not a prisoner: in J he is a prisoner, cf. Genesis 39:21-23. shaved himself] The Egyptians paid extreme care to matters of cleanliness. They were very generally themselves clean shaven. LXX and Lat. render “they shaved him.”

Whedon's Commentary on Genesis 41:14

14. Brought him hastily — Hebrews, caused him to run. Every thing was excitement about the royal household that day, and hence the haste.
