Bible Question: genesis 40:23-41:16 why did the butler remember joseph? |
Bible Answer: Logically, the butler was fearing for his life. As far as the Egyptians were concerned, you lived life to its fullest, and then you died, and when you died you either became the Jewish equivalent to a seraphim or your soul was eaten by this terrifying monster called Ammit (or Ahmit). The butler knew he wasn't pristine, so he was fearing for his life- not to mention whether he had a family to go home to, or others who loved and depended on him. Joseph gave that butler hope when the butler had no hope, and Joseph also gave the baker a chance to get right with God before he was brought before the Old Testemant equivalent of a firing squad. Frankly, I think the question is why the butler didn't remember Joseph and praise him to Pharoah immediately. |
