they were upset that he was their fathers favorite son. Joseph had a dream that had his older brothers bowing down and worshipping him. so, they wanted to "kill the dream" by disposing of "the dreamer". originally they were going to kill him. but then they instead decided to sell him into slavery. this was a picture of what Jesus went through. they desired to kill Jesus and sold him for thirty pieces of silver.

∙ 11y agoGod has had a plan for His creation before He even started the 6-day creation process. The main objective in God's creation was to create a world with human beings that worship, glorify and serve the Creator. God knew that man would sin against Him and so in His plan He provided a Savior to enter the world at a chosen time. This Savior was His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ in order to be man's Savior had to become a Man Himself and that is why Jesus came to earth born as a human being born to the virgin Mary at Bethlehem. (It must be mentioned that Jesus was a sinless man. He was not only man but He was God and therefore sinless.)
Mary was a Jewish girl from the tribe of Judah.
Through this we see that God had planned to bring about a nation that was His chosen people, the nation of Israel. Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people.
God started this nation when He called Abraham to go to Canaan. God promised Abraham this land for his descendants. Abraham and his wife Sarah had a son named Isaac.
Isaac married Rebekah and they had twin sons, Esau and Jacob.
Jacob married Leah and Rachel. Through Jacob's marriage to the two sisters and their handmaids, 12 sons and 1 mentioned daughter were born.
Joseph was one of these twelve sons.
God in His plan wanted this people He had chosen to grow into a great multitude and be desirous to follow Him when the time came. So God planned for Joseph to be sold into slavery and taken to Egypt. While in Egypt Joseph was blessed by God and in time became a ruler over all the land of Egypt, but still under Pharaoh.
A great drought came to Canaan where Jacob and Joseph's brothers lived. Jacob sent his sons to Egypt to by grain. Eventually Joseph made himself know to his brothers and forgave them of selling him into bondage. Jacob and his sons
and family move to Egypt at Joseph's invitation.
As time goes by, Joseph dies. Egypt puts the Hebrews into slavery. The people are miserable.
God sends Moses to Egypt to bring this chosen people to Canaan (The Promised land). They are a great multitude by this time and desirous to follow God and eventually(1440 years later) bring forth the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ.
God's plan is still in progress and many believe that a new dispensation will soon begin with the second Coming of Jesus Christ to the earth.

Joseph was imprisoned for refusing to sin to potiphar's?
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.
In South Carolina can you go to jail if you are unable to pay the balance remaining for a repossession that was sold at auction?
No, we no longer have slavery or debtor's prisons. It's unconstitutional.

Why does Joseph not allow Benjamin to go to Egypt for food?
It was not Joseph who didn't allow Benjamin to go to Egypt. Hazrat Joseph was already in Egypt. It was Hazrat Yaaqub (AS) who was Hazrat Joseph's and Benjamin's father who didn't allow Benjamin to go to Egypt for food. Hazrat Joseph (Yousaf) AS and Hazrat Bejamin were the real brothers from the same mother. The other ten brothers maltreated Hazrat Yousaf (AS) when he was a young child of 7 or 8 years and sold him to a carawan. The owner sold him to the Chief Minister of Egypt. Hazrat Yaaqub (Israiel) (AS) was reluctant to send Hazrat Benjamin to Egypt for food because he didn't trust his elder sons. Ref: Al-Quraan. Sura 12. Sura Yousaf.

Who was the greatest actor anywhere in the bible?
I think Joseph in the Old Testament was a superb "actor". His story is found in Genesis 37. His jealous brothers threw him into a pit, then sold him to some Ishmaelites who took him to Egypt where he was "purchased" by an officer of Pharoah. Joseph worked hard and found favour in his master's sight. After a while, the wife of the officer lusted after Joseph and when Joseph rejected her, she told her husband that Joseph attacked her. Joseph was put in prison. In ch. 39, v.21 it says the Lord God was with Joseph and showed him mercy and gave him favour in the sight of the prison keeper. A couple of years later Joseph was able to interpret a dream that pharoah had which revealed 7 years of great plenty (of food) then 7 years of famine. All this happened as Joseph had interpreted. In the 7 good years, Jacob organised the storage of food in preparation for the famine that would come. When the famine intensified, Joseph's father, Jacob, sent 10 of Joseph's brothers to Egypt to buy food. The brothers came to the 2nd in command in Egypt which was, unbeknown to them, the brother they had sold many years earlier as a 17 y.o. youth. They didn't recognise this man in front of them, he now looked like an Egyptian, wore different clothing, a man in his 30's and full of authority. Joseph recognised his brothers immediately, but acted as a stranger to them and spoke roughly to them. He really gave them a hard time, calling them spies. They told him they were all sons of one man, that one of their brothers was "no more" and the remaining youngest brother was at home with their father. If only they had known the one who was "no more" was the very man they were talking to. But Joseph kept quiet, saying nothing. Joseph again accused them of being spies and threw them in prison for 3 days. Following that Joseph told them if they really were honest men, to go home and bring back their youngest brother, who was actually Joseph's natural brother by the same mother, Rachel. The brothers talked about their guilt of selling their brother Joseph so many years earlier, believing they were now being "punished" for the evil deed. Joseph was listening to them but the brothers didn't realise that he understood Hebrew as Joseph spoke Egyptian to them through an interpreter. Joseph had not forgotten his old language. He turned away from them and wept as they spoke to each other about that incident. They were given the supplies and paid for them, but Joseph had the money put back in their sacks. This alarmed the brothers "what has God done to us?" they asked. Arriving home they convinced their father to send their youngest brother, Benjamin back with them when making another trip as Joseph had ordered them to do. Jacob, the father, was very distressed, as he believed his son Joseph was dead and was fearful of losing Benjamin as well. Eventually the family needed more food and so came to Egypt again. When Joseph saw his natural brother, Benjamin, Joseph had them all come to his home for a meal. Joseph asked how their father was and asked if Benjamin was their young brother. Joseph yearned for his young brother so much he quickly went out out the room and wept. The brothers were seated in the exact order of their birth and they were astonished, and talk about favourtism, Benjamin received 5 extra servings of food more than the others. Now Joseph got sneaky and had his silver cup put in Benjamin's sack along with the payment money. Again, they were all in trouble. As "punishment" Benjamin was to be his slave. The brothers begged for Benjamin saying if they went home without him, their father would die. Now, Joseph wept out loud and finally said to them "I am Joseph" your brother whom you sold into Egypt. The brothers were really scared. But Joseph reassured them and told them that it was God who allowed this to happen in order that Joseph could provide food during the years of famine. The brothers went home and brought their father, Jacob back to Egypt and all their wives and children. The Bible says Joseph fell on his father's neck and wept a long while. All the families settled and lived in Egypt. What a brilliant actor Joseph was. He kept this charade up for a long time. He kept a straight face, spoke roughly to them, listened to their every word in Hebrew, and tricked them into bringing his own brother to him. God showed him favour and it all worked out well. He finally had his whole family with him.
