He was born in Haran, 75 years after the death of Abraham, 30 years before the death of Isaac, when his father was about 90, and eight years before they returned to Canaan. At the age of seventeen Joseph was sold into Egypt. In Potiphar’s house the wife tempts him. Joseph refuses, she, angered, reports to her husband that he had tried to force her. The husband plans to kill him; he flees. Thirteen years in Potiphar’s house, and in prison. Later at age of 30 Joseph became ruler of Egypt. Died at age 110. |
