Examine The Life Of Any Patriarch In finding someone who epitomizes a patriarch like Abraham, Moses, and David; I chose a person who people do consider him one and not one. He is a patriarch’s son and became one of the promising leaders of Egypt, building their economic system. Realizing everything he has done to build Egypt into a wealthy society, I chose Joseph as my patriarch and comparing it to the past and current leaders of Israel, the Prime Minster. As we discussed in class about the lineage of the Israelites in their quest to teach their young children about the econmic system and how to provide for family life is much sustained in the their culture. The stories concerning Joseph differ in many ways from the stories of the patriarchs. First of all, they have about them certain of the characteristics of wisdom stories. The theme of the stories is that goodness is always rewarded and evil is always punished, which is a major theme of the Book of Proverbs, also the theme of the oppressed, righteous man who overcomes all obstacles and comes out on top, particularly because he possesses the wisdom to interpret dreams(Genesis 40-41).
