Bible EpicGenesis 37 to 50Joseph
The favored son, sold by his brothers
Who Joseph is
Joseph is the eleventh son of Jacob and his favorite. His father gives him a tunic of many colors, and his dreams of his brothers bowing to him turn their envy into hate.
Sold as a slave into Egypt, he serves Potiphar, is thrown into prison on a false charge, and is raised to rule Egypt after he explains Pharaoh’s dreams. When his brothers come to buy grain, he forgives them.
In the Bible
Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age, and he made him a tunic of many colors.
Genesis 37:3Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
Genesis 41:41Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” They came near. He said, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
Genesis 45:4As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to save many people alive, as is happening today.
Genesis 50:20
