The Son Who Became A Dreamer

The account of the life of Joseph begins in earnest with this passage, and we learn much. He was faithful to his father in that his father's interests were his priority. He was hated by jealous brothers as a result of his father's favoritism and the Lord's choice of him. We also see a small but significant way in which God alters the way He communicates with His people. The era of the patriarchs is coming to an end as the emphasis moves to the twelve tribes.
