Joseph
Joseph was Jacob's favorite son.Jacob gave Joseph a coat of multiple colors as a sign of his favor for his son.Joseph was the recipient of some dreams that predicted his being in a position of power over his older brothers,and this of course made them unhappy when they heard about them.The brothers took Joseph and sold him to slave traders who took him down to Egypt.In Egypt Joseph worked for a high ranking government official until he was framed of making sexual advances on the official's wife.Having been thrown in jail for this,Joseph langished for a long time until the pharaoh needed to have a disturbing dream of his interpreted.When Joseph interpreted the pharaoh's dream,he was put into a position of power only second to the pharaoh.
A while after this,Joseph's brothers came to Egypt seeking food,because there was a famine ,which Joseph had earlier predicted, all over the land.Joseph let them think that he was not their brother until he chose to reveal himself.He had the rest of his family move down to Egypt.Joseph lived in Egypt until his death at the age of one-hundred and ten years.
