9. From shepherd ... to slave ... to ruler in Egypt
After the events at the Tower of Babble, people travelled to many
places around the world. The Bible follows the life of one family and a
man called Abraham who had two sons, Ishmael and Isaac.
Isaac married and had two sons, Esau and Jacob. After many
adventures, Jacob married also and had twelve sons. The picture here
shows one of his youngest sons, Joseph, who lived quite an amazing
life.
Joseph grows up as a shepherd boy, but as a teen was sold into
slavery by jealous brothers. He was then carried off to Egypt to work
for many years in the house of an official Egyptian. But through
misfortune, Joseph was thrown into jail.
However, God had a special plan for Joseph and several years later
he was called to appear before Pharaoh to interpret dreams. Pharaoh
was so impressed with Joseph’s ability to interpret dreams that he
chose him to become his second in command over all of Egypt.
