Jealous of their younger brother, Joseph, the older brothers heartlessly sell him to a company of merchants who are traveling into Egypt. Although at first a slave in Egypt, Joseph soon rises to be steward in the King’s household. One day, Pharaoh, the King, summons Joseph to interpret a certain dream and is so astounded at his wonderful powers of prophecy that he appoints him viceroy in the kingdom. Some time afterwards there is a famine in the land of Israel, the home of Joseph’s father and brothers. Joseph sends for his brothers to come and receive grain. When they arrive, he gives them the promised grain and after revealing himself, graciously forgives them.
