The Favorite Son
In the land of Canaan, there lived a young man named Joseph. He was the son of Jacob and Rachel and was loved dearly by his father.
Jacob's love for Joseph was so great that he gifted him a beautiful coat of many colors. This special coat made Joseph's brothers envious and resentful.
The Jealous Brothers
Joseph's brothers' jealousy grew stronger each day, especially when Joseph told them about his dreams. In one dream, Joseph saw his brothers' sheaves of grain bowing down to his sheaf.
In another, he saw the sun, moon, and eleven stars bowing to him. These dreams made his brothers even more furious.
The Betrayal
One day, while Joseph was searching for his brothers in the fields, they saw an opportunity to get rid of him. They stripped him of his colorful coat and threw him into a dry well.
Later, they sold him to a caravan of Ishmaelites traveling to Egypt. To deceive their father, they dipped Joseph's coat in goat's blood and showed it to Jacob, who believed his beloved son was dead.
Joseph in Egypt
In Egypt, Joseph was sold to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh. Despite his hardships, Joseph remained faithful to God and worked diligently.
Potiphar recognized Joseph's talents and put him in charge of his household. However, Joseph's trials were not over, as he was falsely accused and imprisoned.
From Prison to Palace
While in prison, Joseph interpreted the dreams of Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker. When Pharaoh himself had troubling dreams, the cupbearer remembered Joseph's gift.
Joseph was summoned to interpret Pharaoh's dreams, which foretold seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine. Impressed, Pharaoh appointed Joseph as the governor of Egypt, second only to himself, to prepare for the famine.
Reunion and Forgiveness
During the famine, Joseph's brothers came to Egypt seeking food. They did not recognize Joseph, but he knew them.
After testing their character, Joseph revealed his identity. Overwhelmed with emotion, he forgave his brothers and invited his entire family to live in Egypt, where they prospered.
