Joseph
Joseph, from the Old Testament, was the elder of the two sons of Jacob and his wife Rachel. He was born in Mesopotamia around 1746 B.C. He is first mentioned in the Bible as a youth of about seventeen. Unfortunately, Joseph's brothers hated him because their father loved Joseph more than his other sons.
Joseph had a dream which foreshadowed his future power; this increased the hatred of his brothers. When they had an opportunity, they sold Joseph into slavery. He later found himself in prison, where he remained for at least two years, interpreting the dreams of common people as well as the Pharaoh. Joseph rose to power in Egypt and was eventually reunited with his father and his brothers.
