Joseph (Genesis)
In brief, 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.
