Joseph’s remarkable journey begins in Genesis 37. Favored by his father Jacob and gifted a “coat of many colours,” Joseph shares two prophetic dreams that ignite his brothers’ jealousy. Their envy turns to betrayal as Joseph is thrown into a pit and sold to passing merchants—yet God’s plan is quietly at work.
Key Verses (KJV):
“Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children… and he made him a coat of many colours.” (Genesis 37:3, KJV)
“And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.” (Genesis 37:19, KJV)
“They… lifted up Joseph out of the pit… and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver.” (Genesis 37:28, KJV)
