Joseph then told him that the queen, who was about to be delivered of a child, would give birth to a son, but that at the same time another son, two years of age, would die; and it so happened.

The extant Hebrew text of the Old Testament text is commonly called the Masoretic, to distinguish it from the text of the ancient versions as well as from the Hebrew text of former ages.
The Hebrew Bible manuscripts may be divided into two classes, the public or sacred and the private or common.
Besides these original recensions, editions were published having a mixed text; the Hebrew text of the Antwerp Polyglot (1569-72), which is followed by the small editions of Plantin, the Paris and London Polyglots, and the editions of Reineccius, is based upon that of the Complutensian and Bomberg.

 Joseph (Hebrew Bible) Summary
Joseph, in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), appears in the Book of Genesis (his name Yosef, Hebrew: יוֹסֵף means "The Lord increases", (Tiberian Hebrew Yôsēp̄), later called Zaphnath-paaneah or Tzáfnat panéach צפנת פענח, Standard Hebrew Ẓáfənat paʿnéaḥ, Tiberian Hebrew Ṣāp̄ənaṯ paʿănēªḥ : Egyptian origin "Discoverer of hidden things"), the eleventh son of Jacob, born of Rachel.
Joseph is represented as a perfectly righteous man (tzadik gamur) and as the counterpart of his father; not only did Joseph resemble his father in appearance and in having been born circumcised, but the main incidents of their lives were parallel.
When they were brought into Joseph's house, Joseph, feigning divination through his goblet, enumerated all their deeds, how they had destroyed Shechem, how they had sold their brother; and the fact of being found in the street of the harlots proved, he said, that they were spies.

 Bible 101
The Bible is a collection of books, and for Christians it is divided into two larger collections: the Old Testament (also called the Old Covenant or more recently the Hebrew Scriptures) and the New Testament (also called the New Covenant and more recently the Christian Scriptures).
What scholars have to begin studies or translations are old manuscripts, some in Hebrew and Greek, and others in languages into which they were translated, such as all Greek, Latin, and Syriac (a form of Aramaic).
There are three types of translations of the Bible: 1) the formal correspondence translations, 2) the dynamic equivalence translations, and 3) the amplified or biblical paraphrase translations.

This would give Joseph a state position during the Hyksos Dynasty and explain the Bible's comment that the Hebrews sojourned in Egypt for about 400 years until the reign of Ramesses II (1279-1213 BC) who is commonly viewed as the Pharaoh of the Exodus.

 Joseph Smith's use of Hebrew
I say "Hebrew of the Bible"; Joseph had no idea of post-biblical Hebrew literature: so far as he was aware, the Hebrew of the Jewish Scriptures was all the Hebrew there was.
We continue with the search for effects of Joseph's Hebrew study discernible in astronomical and cosmological names, names of "strange gods" and Facsimiles 1 and 2, all of which are found in the first three chapters of the Book of Abraham.

 Joseph Smith and Kabbalah: The Occult Connection - FARMS Review
Thus it is possible to conclude, since Joseph was a prophet/mystic and kabbalists are mystics/prophets, that the experiences of Joseph and the kabbalists represent different manifestations of the same phenomenon.
Thus we find Owens claiming that Neibaur and Joseph were influenced by kabbalistic ideas during precisely the period of kabbalism's least influence—between its decline in the mid-eighteenth century and its revival in the late nineteenth.
The fact that Joseph was tutored by Neibaur in languages indicates that whatever the level of Joseph's knowledge of Hebrew and Aramaic, it was inferior to Neibaur's.

Hebrew scholars point out that the name of the Book Joshua (which follows Deuteronomy) is very much similar to the Book of Hosea (which follows Daniel).

All of these books on so-called Bible codes that all just happen to "predict" events after they happen, or just "happen" to find words that support the fallacies of the bumper crop of megaselling would-be Bible interpreters, are laughable.
There is a code in the prophecies of the Bible, and the prophecies do have an ultimate aim and an ulitimate conclusion, but the code has nothing to do with nuclear bombs or international conspiracies.
Of course there are concepts in the Bible that are hard to understand-even the apostle Peter admitted that (2 Peter 3:15).

When Jacob called his sons together and foretold the blessings of God upon them, he emphasized the abuse which Joseph had suffered: The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him (Genesis 49:23; also Psalms 105:17-18).
Joseph's difficulties began with his spiritual insight and God-given dreams which caused his brothers to hate him and sell him into slavery when he was just a teenager.
