Hi Pastor John,
In Genesis 37, it speaks of Joseph’s dream about the sun and moon, and him being over his mother and father. Who is his “mother” here? I wonder because I thought Rachel had died by this point.

Hi Jenny,
Yes, Rachel was dead at that time, but the dream was figurative, and so, she being dead was inconsequential to its meaning. The dream meant simply that God would one day make Joseph the savior of the family, even while his father Jacob was still alive.
