Joseph was one of Jacob's 12 sons. His father loved him more than any of the others and gave him a colored cloak. His brothers were jealous of him and sold him into slavery. He was taken to Egypt and eventually became steward to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh's officials.
An inspirational and instructional Bible lesson about the life of Joseph the son of Jacob. This story is about the shaping of God's people and the development of forgiveness, generosity, love, understanding, and leadership. Joseph, a type of Savior, sadly, but out of necessity, had to experience the full consequences of hatred and rejection from his jealous and cruel brothers. When Joseph saw the ten foreigners he recognized them instantly; a déjà-vu experience poignantly confronted him. Emotions engulfed his being as the profound dreams he had had as a young lad flooded back into his memory. The brothers didn't recognize him because in their minds Joseph existed only as a deeply repressed memory. So Joseph kept his identity quiet and spoke officiously and suspiciously to them.Joseph was one of Jacob's 12 sons. His father loved him more than any of the others and gave him a colored cloak.
