Joseph was an important figure in the [[Old Testament]]. His story is found in the [[book of Genesis]] (Genesis 37 - 50). Joseph was one of twelve sons of [[Jacob]] (also called Israel), who was, in turn, the grandson of [[Abraham]]. Joseph was the favourite son of Jacob, because he was the firstborn son of [[Rebecca]], the wife he loved most. The story of Joseph explains why the Israelites ended up in [[Egypt]], and therefore is essential background to understanding the story of [[Moses]] and the [[exodus]] of the Israelites.
