The promised land is crumbling under the dry rot of a severe famine, and Jacob's lost-and-found son Joseph has invited the family to move down to Egypt, where there would be food and a place for them to wait it out.

Joseph's brothers return to Egypt to buy food a second time and are treated royally but when they leave Joseph's special cup ends up in the sack of Benjamin and they are hauled back to Egypt in great fear.

JOSEPH wants to know if his 10 older brothers are still mean and unkind. So he says: ‘You are spies. You have come to find where our country is weak.’ ‘No, we are not,’ they say. ‘We are honest men. We are all brothers. We were 12. But one brother is no more, and the youngest is home with our father.’ Joseph pretends not to believe them. He keeps the brother named Simʹe·on in prison, and lets the others take food and go home. But he tells them: ‘When you come back, you must bring your...

In the midst of the crisis in Egypt, Joseph's brothers arrived from Canaan, seeking to buy food, as the famine severely affected their land also. They did not recognize Joseph, and he did not reveal himself to them.

After languishing in prison for several years Joseph is called upon to interpret Pharaoh's dreams and in doing so successfully is transformed from being a prisoner to becoming a prince of Egypt.

Despite being in prison, Joseph continues to honor God with his heart and actions. He doesn’t respond with bitterness, but continues to work with integrity.

Potiphar, the General of Egypt buys Joseph from the slave market. Joseph quickly grows in his ranks because of his dedication and hard work. One day, when Potiphar was away for work, his wife called Joseph to her chambers!! What will happen next?

Jacob had twelve sons but his favourite was Joseph. Joseph’s brothers were jealous so they conspired together and sold him as a slave to some traders heading for Egypt. They told their father that Joseph was dead.

Joseph had a dream. In his dream he was out in the field with his brothers and they were tying up bundles of grain. All of a sudden Joseph’s bundle stood up tall while his brothers’ bundles bowed down to it. But then he had a second dream, and in this dream Joseph saw the sun, moon, and 11 stars bowing down to him. What do you think these dreams meant?

In this bible story Joseph is undeniably Jacob's favorite son, receiving extra love, attention and presents, including a coat of many colors. Joseph is proud of his coat and shows it off in front of his brothers. They, in turn, get upset and jealous.

Listen to this amazing episode where Jacob wrestles with God, and earns the name 'Israel'.

After working for his uncle Laban for twenty years, Jacob decided that it was time for him to take his new family and go home.

After running away from Esau, Jacob ran to his uncle Laban’s home. He stayed with Laban for a month and worked for him, taking care of his animals. Laban wanted to pay Jacob for his work, so he asked Jacob what he wanted. Jacob asked to marry Laban’s younger daughter, Rachel. She was beautiful and Jacob loved her. Laban said that, if Jacob worked for him for seven years, he could marry Rachel. So Jacob worked for seven years, but they seemed like a few days because he loved Rachel so much.

On his way to his relative's house at Haran, Jacob lay down for the night near Luz. As he was dreaming, he had a vision of a ladder, or stairway, between heaven and earth. God's angels were on it, ascending and descending.

Jacob flees in fear of Esau, traveling to the house of his uncle Laban in upper Mesopotamia.

As he approached, Rebekah saw him and asked the servant, “What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us?” The servant answered, “It is Isaac.” Rebekah quickly covered her face with a veil* jumped from the camel to greet Isaac. She was excited, for she was about to meet the man God had chosen to be her husband.

Abraham wanted his son to marry a woman who worships the “true and living God” so he sent a servant back to the land of his relatives to find a wife for Isaac. Rebekah and her family believed in God. She decided to leave her home and her family and travel back to Canaan to become Isaac’s wife.

Abraham believed God. When God promised a son, Abraham believed in God’s promise even when he was old and it seemed impossible. Abraham loved God and wanted to obey Him. God kept His promise and gave Abraham the promised son, named Isaac. Imagine Abraham’s delight when he finally held his own baby boy after waiting so many years. Abraham loved Isaac. When he watched his baby boy grow into a young man, sometimes he would look at Isaac with so much love his heart felt like it would burst … but...

Abraham's wife Sarah had a maid named Hagar, an Egyptian woman, who ran away from her mistress, and saw an angel by a well, and afterward came back to Sarah. She, too, had a child and his name was Ishmael. So now there were two boys in Abraham's tent, the older boy, Ishmael, the son of Hagar, and the younger boy, Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah.

The Bible story about the city of Sodom and Gomorrah is a terribly sad story that reminds us of just how much God hates sin.

God promised Abraham that he would have so many descendants that he would be the father of many nations. But, at an old age, Abraham and Sarah still did not have any children. God showed his power by making the unthinkable a reality.

The battle began! The men of Sodom had no idea that the pits where they made the mortar that held their bricks together would become their own death traps. As the invading armies chased them, the king of Sodom and many of his men fell into their own slime pits. The ones who were left fled to the mountain, trying to escape from the enemy. Chedorlaomer (ked-or-lay-oh' mer) and his armies pushed on, capturing the men of Sodom and stealing everything they owned, including their wives and their...
