There is a lot going on in the last few chapters of Genesis. I think the main thing to remember is that in the end the faithfulness of one man saved God’s people. While everyone else in the region was becoming slaves or integrated into the Egyptian population, the Israelites were set apart and allowed to stay separate from the Egyptians, thus preserving the Israelite as a separate people. Looking ahead, this does cause problems for the Israelites, but once again, this is all part of God’s plan for them. It’s hard to trust God and see that he has a plan for us, but we must trust and have faith He will pull us through.
