I'm Joseph, the favoured son of Jacob and Rachel. I lived in the land of Canaan with my many brothers.
My father Jacob... he gifted me a long coat.
Colourful, colourful coat.... a coat of many colours.
Now when I was seventeen, I shared with my brothers two dreams.
In the first dream, my brothers and I gathered bundles of grain, of which those my brothers gathered, bowed to my own. In the second dream, the Sun (my father), the Moon (my mother), and eleven stars (my brothers) bowed to me.
Joseph and his amazing ability to interpret dreams. The favourite son, gifted a long coat. A colourful, colourful, coat... a coat of many colours. Sold into slavery but rose to become viceroy of Egypt.
Now... unfortunately for me, my brothers thought these dreams, implyed my supremacy, and ploted wicked things against me.
For you see kids, jealousy can make you do some terrible things. I was sold into slavery...

Being sold into slavery wasn't all bad, while I was imprisoned. I did eventually rise in station and became viceroy of Egypt. I helped interpret the dreams of Pharaoh.
I helped him prepare for the seven year famine that was to come and plague him and his people.
During the famine, my brothers came to Egypt, but they didn't recognize me.
(Hey, who is that??)
So I revealed myself to them. (It's me, your brother Joseph!)
I embraced them, forgave them and moved them to Egypt.

I was sold into slavery, but through the love of God.... I rose in station, thanks to my abilities to interpret others dreams.
