Allegorical Sense • Typology is present in the story of Joseph • Joseph is a type of Christ through his actions • For Example: When Joseph comes back to his family, whom thought he was dead, and forgave them, he is acting like Jesus when Jesus resurrected from the dead.
Anagogical Senses • “God has made me Lord of all Egypt” (Gen 45:9) • Putting faith in god will help us get to heaven and help us grow closer to the people we love. • Also we need to forgive like Joseph forgave his brothers after they sold him to the merchants.
