Joseph's brothers sold him.

Genesis 37:

25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. 26 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? 27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content. 28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.

Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt. Potiphar bought Joseph and eventually Joseph found favor with his master and was put in charge of his household. But Potiphar's wife had eyes for the young strong man trying to entice him to go to bed with her. Finally one day Potiphar's wife grabbed Joseph but he pulled away from her and she accused him of rape. And so Potiphar had him placed in prison. Joseph knew that it would have been a sin to go to bed with another man's wife so He refused even though it cost him prison time.
