| Synopsis |
|
From the pages of the Old Testament
comes the story of Joseph, beloved
son of Jacob and steadfast servant
of God. He is presented as the
favored son of Jacob and Rachel,
sold as a boy into slavery by his
brothers, who were jealous of Joseph's
dreams and of his coat of many
colors given him by Jacob. In Egypt,
Joseph gained a position of authority
in the household of his master,
Potiphar, and was later imprisoned
on the false accusations of Potiphar's
wife. He was released after interpreting
Pharaoh's dream of the lean and
fat cows. Pharaoh renamed him Zaphnath-paaneah
and took him into favor. Due to
the obedience of Joseph to his
God, Egypt is greatly blessed.
Joseph's recognition of his brothers
in the famine years when he was
governor over Egypt is a famous
scene. |
