“For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction” (41:52). Joseph’s faithfulness to God did not prevent him from being enslaved, wrongly accused, and forgotten in prison for two extra years. However, wherever Joseph lived and worked, he served God and gave Him glory, just as Daniel, Esther, Mordecai and others would do later in their own exiles. Joseph lived in a way that revealed the “Spirit of God” in him (41:38).

“Two sons were born to Joseph ...” (41:50). Joseph’s sons were a reminder that God had not forgotten him but instead made him fruitful in the land of his suffering. And beyond Joseph’s lifetime, Ephraim and Manasseh’s descendants would participate in God’s covenant purposes to bless the world.
