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)

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.

The phrase "a pharaoh who knew not Joseph" refers to the unnamed pharaoh in the biblical Book of Exodus, specifically in Exodus 1:8. This pharaoh came to power in Egypt after Joseph's time and did not recognize Joseph's contributions or the Israelites' status, leading to their oppression. This shift marked a significant turning point in the history of the Israelites, ultimately leading to their enslavement in Egypt.


How long did snefru rule egypt?

According to the Oxford History of Egypt by Ian Shaw Senusret III's reign was 39 years. Interesting Joseph entered Egypt at age 17. (Genesis 37:2) Joseph died at age 110. (Genesis 50:26) Joseph lived 93 years in Egypt. Senusret III reign 39 years + Amenemhet III reign 45 years + Amenemhet IV reign 9 years = 93 years. Joseph entered Egypt in Senusret III's first year of reign.

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!
