Bible Question: how long was joseph in jail |
Bible Answer: Genesis 37:2 says Joseph was 17 when all his trouble started and Genesis 41:46 says he was 30 when Pharaoh promoted him. We know he spent at least 2 years in prison because it was 2 years after the telling of the dream of the baker and butler that Pharaoh had a dream. So that gives us a total of 13 years of which we know 2 were in prison but we don't know how long Joseph was in Potiphar's house. So the answer is at least 2 years but not more than 13. |
