This was a foundational promise given to the patriarchs centuries before the nation of Israel existed as a political entity. *Related to*: ### He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession, *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The Israelites successfully took possession of the land of Canaan, occupying cities and lands they did not build or plant. *Historical context*: The conquest of Canaan, traditionally dated between 1400–1200 BCE and described in the Book of Joshua, saw the Israelites settle in the territory previously occupied by various Canaanite groups. This fulfilled the specific geographic promise mentioned in the Abrahamic Covenant. *Related to*: [[Ps-105#v11|Psalm 105:11]] ### until the time that his word happened, and Yahweh's word proved him true. The king sent and freed him, even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free. He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions, *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: Joseph's previous prophetic dreams and the word of God regarding his elevation are fulfilled when Pharaoh releases him from prison and appoints him as governor over Egypt. *Historical context*: This refers to the fulfillment of Joseph's dreams in [[Gen-37#v5|Genesis 37:5]]-11. Joseph rose to power during Egypt's Middle Kingdom or Second Intermediate Period (approx. 17th century BCE), a transition that allowed him to save Egypt and his family from a regional famine. *Related to*: [[Gen-37#v5|Genesis 37:5]]-11 ### He brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The Israelites departed Egypt with significant wealth provided by the Egyptians, fulfilling an ancient promise of prosperity upon their exit from bondage. *Historical context*: This event fulfills the prophecy found in [[Gen-15#v14|Genesis 15:14]], where God told Abraham that his descendants would serve another nation but would later come out with 'great substance.' Historical/Biblical accounts in [[Exod-12#v35|Exodus 12:35]]-36 record the Egyptians 'plundering' their own wealth to give to the departing Hebrews. *Related to*: [[Gen-15#v14|Genesis 15:14]] --- #ai_prophecy
