Genesis 42:18-43:34
Joseph is showing a great amount of grace and forgiveness to his brothers considering the amount of cruelty and there evil schemes towards him. His blessings continue a trend in the Old Testament where the youngest son is the most blessed. This is contrary to the laws of the land where power and strength were always given to the first born. Joseph still has allot of emotions towards his brothers as he breaks down on several occasions.
Matthew 13:47-14:12
Jesus went back to Nazareth and the people questioned where he got his powers from. They knew his family so they couldn't understand how he could do miracles when his mother, father etc were normal. Because of their lack of faith he did fewer miracles there. This passage also tells of how and why John the Baptist was killed, Herod is concerned that Jesus is John the Baptist reincarnated.
Proverbs 4-7:10
Again in this proverb we are implored to find wisdom, we will live a long good life if you have her crown on your head. Once again wisdom is referred to as a female and as she is this consistant throughout the bible.
