![]() ![]() Joseph's Bloody Coat Brought to Jacob by Diego Velázquez, 1630 These dreams, implying his supremacy, angered his brothers ( Genesis 37:1–11) and made the brothers plot his demise. In the second dream, the sun (father), the moon (mother), and eleven stars (brothers) bowed to Joseph himself. When Joseph was seventeen years old, he shared with his brothers two dreams he had had: in the first dream, Joseph and his brothers gathered bundles of grain, of which those his brothers gathered, bowed to his own. Of all the sons, Joseph was preferred by his father, who gave him a "long coat of many colors". He was Rachel's firstborn and Jacob's eleventh son. Joseph, son of Jacob and Rachel, lived in the land of Canaan with ten half-brothers, one full brother, and at least one half-sister. The Bible offers two explanations of the name Yōsēf: first it is compared to the Hebrew root אסף ( ʾ-s-p), meaning "to gather, remove, take away": "And she conceived, and bore a son and said, God hath taken away my reproach" (Genesis 30:23) Yōsēf is then identified with the similar root יסף ( y-s-p), meaning "to add": "And she called his name Joseph and said, The LORD shall add to me another son." (Genesis 30:24). In rabbinic tradition, he is considered the ancestor of a second Messiah called " Mashiach ben Yosef", who will wage war against the forces of evil alongside Mashiach ben David and die in combat with the enemies of God and Israel. The composition of the story can be dated to the period between the 7th century BCE and the third quarter of the 5th century BCE, which is roughly the period to which scholars date the Book of Genesis. Jacob's family travel to Egypt to escape the famine, and it is through him that they are given leave to settle in the Land of Goshen (the eastern part of the Nile Delta). ![]() After correctly interpreting the dreams of Pharaoh, however, he rises to second-in-command in Egypt and saves Egypt during a famine. He is the favourite son of the patriarch Jacob, and his jealous brothers sell him into slavery in Egypt, where he eventually ends up incarcerated. His story functions as an explanation for Israel's residence in Egypt. He is the founder of the Israelite Tribe of Joseph. He was the first of the two sons of Jacob and Rachel (Jacob's twelfth child and eleventh son).
