“And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.”
His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. We are your slaves, they said. The final bowing of the brothers — throwing themselves down, we are your slaves — is the complete fulfillment of the dreams of Genesis 37:7-9. The sheaves bowed; the sun and moon and eleven stars bowed. The application: the word of God given in a dream to a seventeen-year-old has been fulfilled completely across thirty-nine chapters of struggle, suffering, exile, and providence.
