The story of Joseph is one known even as a child's Bible story. And most of my life, the King James translation of the late 1800's was not one read, but for comparison study...
And to my surprise, all of a sudden we have corn as the word for wheat or grain as what was grown in Egypt and stored and then made available to be bought by those in need of food.
I did some quick research and linked one article, but it's a mystery that after decades of being used to hearing and reading certain words, even in more up-to-date English translations, it's one of those things that can be disconcerting and even downright confusing...
Did corn, first be grown in ancient Egypt and not some form of maize or grain found only in the American continents, later discovered?
Or is it that grains of various kinds were grown, and food is food when one is needing it to keep from starving to death in times of grave famine...
More to check out, but it does not change the faith story of Divinely sent dreams as a warning to pay attention and obey the Almighty showing us the way to our own survival and ultimate salvation. One thing to be aware of is variations can creep into translations from the original languages into so many now, and even trying to have Bibles not written in older forms of English. So online things can end up altered, but the King James has been using for some time along with other translations....in paper format, does show corn in King James, but the grain in others...
In our times of grave deception, may none have their faith shaken, by such matters that do not alter the faith message.
In the name of Yahusha, may we keep Your words as close to the meaning You wish us to know and understand and follow as we know You are truth and it will set us free from the evils that surround us in a world that seems to be getting more wicked now and not less? \
Prayers for healing and for my knee apparently laid wrong on and a lot of issues today in walking, and movement, but thanks for sustaining me even as my way is still limited...so many have far worse to deal with and our health care has taken a turn for worse instead of better by an attitude of those in charge, that has devolved into a binding of the souls...and the many needlessly dying now, is horrific...and yet many try to ignore as if all is fair and just and it's not at all...
Save us from the mess we have let ourselves get into in this world. And prayers for all those in peaceful protests, that their voices in so many matters will be heard and listened to, and none come in among them and start trouble that could ruin the good efforts for goodness and fairness and justice for one and all of us...
In Your Holy Name, Yahusha, Amen!
keep the faith, as it's the One we can always count on...
