Joseph — the story of Genesis 37 to 45, told by host Joe on Timeless Bible Stories: a favourite son, a coat of many colours, a pit, a prison, and the dreams that carried him to the right hand of Pharaoh.

What is the story of Joseph? Joseph, the seventeen-year-old son of Jacob (Genesis 37), was sold by his jealous brothers to traders for twenty pieces of silver and taken to Egypt, where he served Potiphar, was falsely accused and imprisoned, interpreted the dreams of Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker, and after two more years in prison interpreted Pharaoh's dreams of seven fat and seven thin cows (Genesis 41). Pharaoh made him ruler over Egypt at thirty years old; Joseph stored grain through seven years of plenty, and in the famine his brothers came down to buy bread, bowed before him without recognising him, and were finally reconciled after Joseph tested them with a silver cup hidden in Benjamin's sack — "God sent me before you to preserve life" (Genesis 45:5). This Timeless Bible Stories episode, released November 15, 2026, retells the full account in about twenty minutes, warm and family-friendly for children, parents, and listeners of all ages, and closes with Joseph's own lesson: "You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good" (Genesis 50:20).
