As the focus shifts to Jacob as the Patriarch, there is some uncertainty about who would be next in line. Reuben, Simeon, and Levi have disqualified themselves, which leaves the door open for Joseph and Judah. The narrative focuses in on Joseph and his tumultuous relationship with his brothers that leads to his slavery in Egypt. Despite the wickedness of the chosen people, God's promise to Abraham is not thwarted.
