“…Kejadian 37 menulis suatu peristiwa yang sangat tidak manusiawi yang dialami oleh Yusuf dimana Yusuf dibuang ke sumur kosong kemudian dijual ke saudagar Median yang lewat untuk kemudian dijual lagi ke Mesir yang mana peristiwa ini disebabkan oleh kebencian saudara-saudaranya karena mimpi Yusuf dan kasih sayang Yakub kepada Yusuf (Grossman, 2016). Kilas balik dari peristiwa ini kemudian dicatat dalam Kejadian 42:21 dimana saudara-saudara Yusuf menceritakan bahwa pada waktu kejahatan terhadap Yusuf ini terjadi, sebetulnya Yusuf sendiri memohon belas kasihan pada saudara-saudaranya namun Yusuf tidak mendapatkan empati dari kakak-kakaknya ini.…”

Dreaming big: On expanding dreams, hubris, and the character of the biblical Joseph

Dreams play a special role in the Joseph narrative. They are arranged in three pairs each and carry the story forward decisively. Joseph’s dreams in particular form a narrative framework for the central theme of the story: family conflicts and dominion. Again and again, it has been observed that while Joseph’s first dream comes true, his second does not correspond entirely to the events that transpire within the narrative. Contrary to the tendency to make this second dream equal to the first, or to exclude or reinterpret it in terms of literary criticism, this essay proposes that the second dream should be understood within the negative conception of the Joseph character in Genesis 37 as a sign of Joseph’s hubris and therefore as an exaggeration or even invention which Joseph himself manufactured.

A missing meal of reconciliation: The consumption of food as deficient motif in the Joseph story and its resolution in Jubilees and Josephus

Food plays an important role in the Joseph story. Although other themes offer valuable insights as well, the theme of table fellowship is at the heart of the story’s main theme because sharing a table and what is on it shows mutual recognition and signifies thus much more than the mere consumption of food. In the Joseph story, we have two occurrences of joint meals: Gen 37:25 and Gen 43:31–34. Whereas the first is a clear sign of Joseph’s isolation and the rupture of the brothers’ relationship, the second meal cannot be understood as an actual meal of reconciliation as some do. In order to make table fellowship a coherent theme from isolation to inclusion, the Joseph story in Genesis lacks a third meal of peace and reconciliation at which the brothers are reunited. However, if we look across canonical boundaries, we find that Jubilees as well as Josephus’s Antiquities incorporate this third meal into the story. In this way, the biblical story is continued productively, and the theme of table fellowship, which is anticipated in Genesis, is expanded into a comprehensive motif.
