Joseph

### The Story Begins in Avaris, Egypt In the bustling marketplace of Avaris, Joseph, the favored son of Jacob, is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. Potiphar, the Pharaoh's Chief Steward and Joseph's new master, trusts him and appoints him steward over his household. Joseph quickly proves himself a tireless worker, earning his master's trust. One day, Potiphar's wife lures him into her room to fulfill her lustful desires. However, Joseph prefers punishment to betrayal of his master, even death. As he flees the room, the desperate woman strips off his garment and brandishes it as proof of her violation. Potiphar questions him further. In prison, Joseph is assigned to attend two officials suspected of theft. He dreams about being reinstated by a cup-bearer and hanging by a chief-baker. Two years later, after interpreting the Pharaoh's anguished dreams, Joseph predicts famine in Egypt. The Pharaoh appoints Joseph as chancellor and gives him his sister wife, Cleopatra. Joseph starts to store away a fifth of the country’s harvest. After seven years of plenty, comes a famine that drives people from all over the land to Egypt for grain. Among them are Joseph's brothers, who test their father Jacob by making fun of Joseph’s new status as chancellor and his beautiful Egyptian wife Cleopatra. Finally reunited with his beloved brother Benjamin and father Jacob, Joseph reconciles with his family and is invited to settle in Egypt as overseers of the Pharaoh's livestock.
