Joseph was purchased by Potipher, but God was with Joseph. Joseph was\\xa0entrusted with the matters of Potipher\'s house, and Potipher\'s wife\\xa0attempts to seduce Joseph, but he refuses because it is wicked. When\\xa0he refuses, she falsely accuses him and Potipher throws him into prison.

When he is in prison, Pharaoh\'s butler comes to Joseph and asks him to\\xa0interpret a dream. Joseph tells the butler that interpretation of\\xa0dreams come from God, and gives him a very positive interpretation,\\xa0asking the butler to remember him when he comes into power. When the\\xa0baker hears this, the baker asks him to interpret a dream, but this is\\xa0a dream that foretells that baker\'s death.

These things come to pass, but the baker does not remember Joseph to\\xa0Pharaoh until Pharaoh has a dream, and then Joseph tells Pharaoh that\\xa0his dream indicates years of prosperity followed by years of famine\\xa0and that they should take from their prosperity to prepare for the\\xa0years of famine.

For this, Pharaoh sets Joseph over his house and all of Egypt. Joseph\\xa0assimilates into the culture, takes a wife, Asenath, and has the\\xa0children Manasseh, for forgetting his hardships in his father\'s house,\\xa0and Ephraim, for the fruitfulness that God has given Joseph.
