In this episode of The Logic of God, we enter the unsettling tension of Genesis 47, where Joseph stands between his family and Pharaoh, shaping a story through what he says and what he does not say. The lies here are not spoken; they are crafted in silence. Joseph filters, edits, and presents his brothers in a way that protects them, yet this protection becomes the gateway to their future bondage.
We explore how Joseph’s choices before Pharaoh reveal the power of omission, image management, and selective truth. Why does he bring only five brothers? Why does he downplay their identity and calling? And how do small compromises shape the spiritual and cultural future of God’s people? In Goshen, a place of comfort becomes the seedbed of oppression.
Through this passage, we reflect on the lies we tell by withholding truth, the fear that shapes our self-presentation, and the subtle ways we barter identity for acceptance. This episode invites listeners to wrestle with the cost of safety, the danger of narrative control, and the quiet drift that leads God’s people toward exile long before chains ever appear.
