Choose from these words to fill the blanks below:

the three                of Joseph
1. he's dropped into the       , and lifted out of the pit
2. he's dropped into            to serve as a slave, but then he is hired as a servant of Potiphar
after the incident with Potifar's wife he makes Joseph                one more time
3. dropped into prison but ascends once again to the court of               
Genesis 41:14: Then Pharaoh sent adn called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon, and when he had              himself and changed his clothes, he came in before the Pharaoh.
in the court of Pharaoh, Joseph will interpret the Pharaoh's dreams
leads to his promotion of being              in command to all those in Egypt
Genesis 41:39-44
Moreover Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and without your                no man shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt."
Joseph will be able to exploit his good position in Egypt for the advantage of his family
when famine hits, he provided for his family
parallel to Jesus

but in both cases, the brush with            is not only overturned, but leads to life for many
Joseph: food for thousands in             
Jesus: the offer of eternal life to any who turn to him in faith and

both examples cast light on the other
Christian artists regularly compared Joseph's dropping into the pit with Jesus' death on the cross
moving out of the pit describes a moment of                         
perhaps a fourth ascent outside the book of               
book of              and Israelites take special care to secure Joseph's body to the promised land
Exodus 13:19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him; for Joseph had solemnly sworn the people of             , saying, "God will visit you; then you must carry my bones with you from here."
when Israel leaves Egypt, Joseph's bones follow with them to the land of Israel
Psalm 30:1-3
"O LORD, thou has brought up my soul from           , restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit."
just as Joseph having arrived in the Pharaoh's court has returned to life from the pit and through providing            has offered life to thousands
