Chapter XXIV. Philo Concerning Joseph

‘PHILO also, in his fourteenth book Concerning Jerusalem,testifies to the truth of the sacred Scriptures, speaking as follows:

“For them the mighty lord of all the land A happy home prepared----he, now most high, Who from the ancient stock of Abraham And Isaac sprang, and Jacob rich in sons Claimed as his sire----Joseph of royal dreams The wise interpreter, who seated high On Egypt’s throne now sways the sceptre’s power, Much tossed erewhile by waves of fickle fate:” [1]

and so forth. So much concerning Joseph.’
