Joseph, known as "Joseph the Dreamer," is a prominent figure in the Book of Genesis. He is the eleventh son of Jacob and the first son of Rachel. Joseph's story is one of resilience and divine providence, marked by his ability to interpret dreams.

As a young man, Joseph received dreams that foretold his future rise to prominence. However, his brothers, fueled by jealousy, sold him into slavery in Egypt. Despite this betrayal, Joseph's faith and integrity remained steadfast. In Egypt, he found favor with Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, but was later imprisoned due to false accusations from Potiphar’s wife.

While in prison, Joseph interpreted the dreams of Pharaoh’s cupbearer and baker, which eventually led to his release. His accurate interpretation of Pharaoh’s dreams, predicting seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine, earned him the position of second-in-command in Egypt. Under Joseph's administration, Egypt prepared effectively for the famine, saving many lives.

Joseph’s journey from favored son to slave, then to ruler, highlights themes of forgiveness and redemption. When his brothers came to Egypt seeking food, Joseph revealed his identity and forgave them, recognizing that his hardships were part of a divine plan to save many lives. His story is a testament to enduring faith and the power of dreams.
