Plot of Jacob and Joseph's Life
Jacob's Early Life
Jacob, the son of Isaac and Rebekah, was born holding the heel of his twin brother Esau (Genesis 25:26).
Jacob deceives Esau to obtain his birthright and later steals Esau's blessing by disguising himself as Esau (Genesis 27:1-29).
Jacob's Marriages and Children
Jacob flees to Haran, where he works for his uncle Laban and marries Leah and Rachel (Genesis 29:16-30).
He has twelve sons and one daughter through Leah, Rachel, and their maids (Genesis 30:1-24).
Joseph's Early Life
Joseph, the firstborn son of Rachel, is favored by Jacob, receiving a special coat of many colors (Genesis 37:3).
Joseph has dreams that indicate he will rise above his brothers, causing jealousy (Genesis 37:5-11).
Joseph Sold into Slavery
Joseph's brothers conspire against him, sell him to Ishmaelite traders, and deceive Jacob by presenting his coat stained with goat's blood (Genesis 37:18-35).
Joseph in Egypt
In Egypt, Joseph is sold to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh.
He rises to a position of authority but is falsely accused by Potiphar's wife and imprisoned (Genesis 39:1-20).
While in prison, Joseph interprets the dreams of Pharaoh’s cupbearer and baker (Genesis 40:1-23).
Joseph's Rise to Power
Pharaoh has troubling dreams, and Joseph is called to interpret them, predicting seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine (Genesis 41:14-30).
Joseph is appointed as second-in-command over Egypt (Genesis 41:41-46).
The Famine and Reunion with Brothers
During the famine, Joseph's brothers come to Egypt to buy grain.
They do not recognize Joseph (Genesis 42:1-6).
Joseph tests his brothers, ultimately revealing his identity and forgiving them (Genesis 45:1-15).
Jacob's Journey to Egypt
Jacob learns that Joseph is alive and travels to Egypt with his family (Genesis 46:1-7).
Joseph provides for his family in the land of Goshen (Genesis 47:1-12).
Jacob's Blessing and Death
Before Jacob dies, he blesses his sons and gives a prophetic blessing to Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh (Genesis 48:1-22).
Jacob dies and is buried in the cave of Machpelah (Genesis 49:29-33; 50:1-14).
Joseph's Death
Joseph lives to see the third generation of Ephraim's children and assures his brothers of his forgiveness.
He dies at the age of 110 and is embalmed (Genesis 50:22-26
