Joseph from Egypt
Joseph, the favored son of Jacob, grows up in Canaan surrounded by jealous brothers who resent their father's obvious preference for him. When Joseph shares his dreams—visions in which his entire family bows before him—their resentment turns to rage. Desperate to rid themselves of their rival, the brothers sell him into slavery to merchants headed for Egypt, then deceive their father into believing Joseph is dead. In Egypt, Joseph is purchased by Potiphar, captain of the Pharaoh's guard, where his integrity and ability to prosper at everything he undertakes earn him rapid advancement. But his refusal to succumb to the advances of Potiphar's wife results in a false accusation that lands him in prison, where he remains for years. Even in captivity, Joseph's gift for interpreting dreams sets him apart. When fellow prisoners and eventually the Pharaoh himself seek his counsel about troubling visions, Joseph reveals an ability to see the future—predicting seven years of abundance followed by seven years of devastating famine. His interpretation transforms him from prisoner to the most powerful man in Egypt, second only to the Pharaoh himself. Years later, as famine sweeps across the region, Joseph's own family comes to Egypt seeking grain, unaware they now stand before the brother they once betrayed. Joseph must navigate the tension between his past suffering and his current power, testing whether his estranged family has truly changed while confronting his own capacity for forgiveness.
