Note the climactic nature of the following verse:
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and
- they brought him hastily out of the dungeon;
- and he shaved himself,
- and changed clothes, and
- came in to Pharaoh.
Here the Bible indicates requirements for a royal appearance:
- Status: Joseph was no longer a prisoner
- Appearance: Clean shaven and showered
- Appareil: Proper attire
- Royal appearance:
Sermonic points:
We normally think of the Bible as only indicating laws and moral
exhortations. However frequently the Bible will indicate how
to best handle social situations in the real world. In the above
example the Bible shows us how to prepare for a royal visit.
The great midieval commentator, Gersonides, The Ralbag, particularly
championed social inferences from the Bible.
