jacob had lots of sons. the youngest was named joseph. the rest of the brothers didn't like joseph b/c he was their father's favorite. the brothers schemed to get rid of joseph. they wanted to kill him but ultimately decided to sell him to the ishmaelites that were passing by. then the ishmaelites sold joseph to the egyptians.
joseph started working for a wealthy egyptian man named potiphar. he managed to do everything well, so potiphar trusted him and everything that potiphar did/owned became successful. this was because God blessed joseph, and he was with joseph in everything joseph did, so naturally potiphar's household was successful.
potiphar's wife tried to tempt joseph but joseph resisted. because of this, potiphar's wife became angry and framed joseph. potiphar became angry with joseph and sent him to prison.
but even in prison God was with joseph. so joseph quickly became a trusted man and was put in charge of managing prisoners.
this story is familiar to me b/c of a funny reason... haha in high school i was in a musical. and that musical was joseph and the technicolor dreamcoat.
