Best Answer

The account of Joseph's life can be found at (Genesis 37:1-41:49).

Because of jealousy, he was sold into slavery by his own brothers and falsely imprisoned by the wife of Potiphar. Though difficult to endure, these experiences turned out to be God's will and an ultimate benefit for not only Joseph, but the whole nation of Israel. Joseph got out of prison by remaining obedient to God, even under these stressful circumstances. While wrongfully imprisoned, Joseph correctly interpreted dreams for Pharaoh's servants (Genesis 41:9-13), and then for Pharaoh himself (Genesis 41:14-36) leading to Pharaoh making him second in command in Egypt.(Genesis 41:37-46)

How did the brothers get caught after killing their brother Joseph?

Well, for one, they didn't actually kill their brother, Joseph. If you'll remember from Genesis -> They actually end up trading him to some Egyptians for a few pieces of silver. In reality, they never did get caught until they re-met their brother in Egypt. (Joseph is now the Second-In-Command of Egypt) but even then, Joseph has compassion on his brother's and forgives them. It's a way neat story!

Why did people of Israel migrate to Egypt?

It started with Joseph, Abraham's great grandson. Joseph's brothers were jealous of their fathers love for Joseph, so they sold him to slave traders heading to Egypt. Through hard times, Joseph worked his way up from slave to 2nd in charge of Egypt! His family that lived in Canaan had a famine and his father sent Joseph's brothers up to Egypt to get food. When they found out that Joseph was alive and said they were sorry, they went back to Canaan and brought their families with them, along with Jacob, to Egypt. Soon, that would lead to the deliverance of God's people.
