Hello there, I dont understand why the other person said John was a baptist? its not even related to Joseph in the book of Genesis. John the baptist was only mentioned in the new testament of the Bible. Anyways.
1. Joseph had 2 dreams that confirmed that the brothers will kneel before him when he were to be in egypt.
2. His brothers also hated him because Jacob ( Joseph's father) favored him most out of all because he was the first son of his beloved Rachel.
3. His brothers get rid of him by selling him to the the Ishmaelites into slavery. These people were on their way to Egypt.
4. Joseph was sent to prison because while potiphar was away, his wife was begging joseph to sleep with her. He resisted this evil thought, but Potiphar's wife wouldnt stop begging him. And one day she grabbed him by his clothes, but he ran away leaving his clothes in her hand. So she lied to Potiphar and all them in the house saying Joseph is so evil, he knew I had a husband but still wanted to sleep with me. Potiphar got mad and sent him to jail. Of course, i believe that Joseph was sent to jail un rightfully.
5. He gets out of prison when the chief cup bearer of pharoah remebered about him when pharaoh needed his dreams to be interpreted.
6. Joseph interprets his dream with Gods help. He didnt take any credit at all. He said that there would be 7 years of wealthiness, and 7 years of famine, so he advised the Pharaoh to take some wise steps to save his people during the 7 years of famine.
7. The King rewards Joseph by putting him second from the highest rank in Egypt which was the highest right after the King Pharaoh himself. Looking through all what Joseph went through, i believe that he deserved this rank, and He used it wisely!
Hope this helped a lot!
Good luck!
