In the Old Testament, the firstborn son of Jacob and Rachel (Gen. 30:22–24; 37:3).
Joseph was a man of great character, an individual “discreet and wise” (Gen. 41:39). In Egypt, when Joseph revealed his true identity to his brothers, he thanked instead of blamed them for how they had treated him. He believed their actions had helped to accomplish God’s divine will (Gen. 45:4–15).
