Joseph’s jealous brothers had sold him to Ishmaelite traders, and he was brought down to Egypt where he was purchased by an Egyptian officer, Potiphar. Joseph’s brothers thought they got rid of Joseph and his God-given dreams, but God’s favor was on Joseph’s life.

The Lord was with Joseph and made him prosper in everything he did. Potiphar recognized God’s hand was on Joseph’s life, so he put Joseph in charge of everything he owned. God blessed Potiphar for Joseph’s sake, but Potiphar’s wife began to lust after Joseph. She begged him to lie with her, but Joseph was a man of integrity. He refused, so she lied that he tried to rape her.

Potiphar threw Joseph into prison, but God was with Joseph and gave him favor with the prison ward. The prison ward put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners and over everything that happened in the prison, and God made Joseph successful. During his stay in prison, Joseph encountered Pharaoh’s butler and interpreted his dream. Later, the butler mentioned him to Pharaoh, and Joseph was made the second ruler over all of Egypt.
