Immerse Day 99: Joseph's Revelation and Jacob's Journey to Egypt

In today's episode of Immerse: The Daily Bible Reading Experience, we delve into the dramatic story of Joseph and his brothers from Genesis. As Joseph tests his brothers' integrity, he instructs his palace manager to place his silver cup in Benjamin's sack, leading to a confrontation where the brothers defend their innocence. Ultimately, Joseph reveals his true identity, expressing forgiveness and God's providence. The brothers are then instructed to bring their father Jacob to Egypt to escape famine. Jacob's heartwarming journey to reunite with his long-lost son concludes the reading. Join us for an in-depth exploration of forgiveness, divine purpose, and family restoration as we continue our Bible-in-a-year journey.

QUICK START GUIDE
3 ways to get the most out of your experience

1. Use Immerse: Beginnings instead of your regular chapter and verse Bible. This special reader’s edition restores the Bible to its natural simplicity and beauty by removing chapter and verse numbers and other historical additions. Letters look like letters, songs look like songs, and the original literary structures are visible in each book.
2. Commit to making this a community experience. Immerse is designed for groups to encounter large portions of the Bible together
   for 8 weeks–more like a book club, less like a Bible study. By meeting every week in small groups and discussing what you read in open,
   honest conversations, you and your community can come together to be transformed through an authentic experience with the Scriptures.
3. Aim to understand the big story. Read through “The Stories and the Story” (p. 483) to see how the books of the Bible work together to tell God’s story of his creation’s restoration. As you read through Immerse: Beginnings, rather than ask, “How do I fit God into my busy life?” begin asking, “How can I join in God’s great plan by living out my part in his story?”
