Bible History is selective history

• It must be noticed that the Biblical history
  has features other than the mere narration of
  events. Take, for example, the book of Genesis.
  The plan of the book takes us through a series of
  selections to the generations of Jacob (37 2),
  from which point, with the exception of one
  chapter, the history consists of the story of
  Joseph. Reuben was the eldest Judah was the head
  of the royal tribe. What governed the selection
  of Joseph as the subject of this last section of
  the book of Genesis? An answer is to be found in
  the fact that Joseph alone of Jacobs sons was a
  type of Christ. It is to him all divine history
  leads.
