Israel’s ancestor Jacob, he had two wives and two concubines, and he had 12 sons, but Jacob loved his wife Rachel, and Rachel gave Jacob two sons. The eleventh son Joseph, the twelfth son Benjamin, Rachel died of dystocia when she gave birth to her second child. Jacob was very sad, but God was not pleased with Jacob's polygamy.
Perhaps because of his love for the house and the Uganda, Jacob loved Joseph very much. The Bible says: " Israel loves Joseph more than his sons" (Israel is a gift from God Jacob’s new name), in fact, Jacob loves Joseph because Joseph loves to listen to his father’s teachings and loves to obey God. Moreover, the departure of his mother makes Joseph’s attachment to his father even heavier, and Joseph also It became Jacob's comfort in his later years, but Jacob's preference displeased the other sons. Why?
It turned out that Joseph had a "little problem" and he liked to make small reports. He often told his father about his brothers’ evil deeds, and his father often reprimanded him for this reason. A son, Joseph was hated by his brothers, but Jacob was really partial, and he actually made a luxurious colorful dress for Joseph. This is indeed a bit too much, so "Joseph’s brothers saw his father love the Se loves them too much, so she hates Joseph and doesn’t speak peace with him.” Bitter gourd was planted.
However, something that irritated the brothers even more happened. Joseph had two dreams and told them to them. One of the dreams was "We are tying crops in the field, I The bundle stood up, and your bundle came and worshiped around my bundle.” His brothers replied, “Are you really going to be our king? Do you really want to rule us?” Another dream is : "Look,I had another dream. I dreamed of the sun, the moon, and eleven stars bowing to me." Joseph told his father and his brothers the dream, and his father rebuked him and said, "What you did is What dream! Surely your mother, your brother and I are going to come and bow down to the ground and bow down to you? "My brothers hated Joseph more because of his dreams and his words.
Jacob’s ten sons had to run around in order to find a plump pasture for the sheep, often leaving home for several months. One day his father called Joseph to his side and gave him a task. He went to find his brothers in the distance to see if they were safe or not. Then he returned to report the letter. Joseph happily took the order, don’t go to his father. Brothers, but what Jacob didn’t expect was that this difference broke his heart.
When Joseph found his brothers, the brothers looked far away at the approaching Joseph and said :"look! Here comes the dreamer. bring it on! We killed him, threw him in a pit, and said that an evil beast ate him. Let us see how his dream will come. "So the brothers caught Joseph and threw him into the pit dug in advance. No matter how Joseph begged, the brothers were unmoved. By chance, a group of Ishmael merchants came to Egypt to do business. So they pulled Joseph up from the pit and sold him as a slave to the Ishmaeli. In that era, being a slave was more terrible than death.
The brothers killed him in order to give his father an explanation. The sheep took sheep blood, wiped it on the colored clothes peeled off from Joseph, and sent someone to their father, saying: "We picked this up; please recognize it as your son's coat? "And told his father that Joseph had been eaten by a wild beast, Jacob recognized that Caiyi, and cried: "This is my son's coat. An evil beast ate him, and Joseph was torn to pieces! Shredded! "Jacob tore his clothes and put sackcloth around his waist, mourning for his son.All his children got up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted, saying, "I will die in sorrow to my son." Joseph's father wept for him, but Jacob's sons did not expect that his father would be like this. Sorrow.
Besides Joseph, he was sold to Egypt by the Ishmaelis and sold to the house of Potiphar, the chief guard of the pharaoh. What was the fate of Joseph? In the next issue, we will introduce Joseph in Egypt. Please pay attention to me. You will gain something. It is purely a personal point of view.
