Episode 162 - Joseph: Loving Brother or Spoiled Brat” (Part 3). Genesis 39

Episode Summary

In this episode Joseph’s relatively cushy job of taking care of Potiphar’s household was destroyed. It came about because of Potiphar’s wife, who had an eye for the handsome Joseph. She crudely invited him to bed, which Joseph politely declined. But she would not take “no” for an answer. Once, when she and Joseph were alone, she again made a play for him, but this time by grabbing his garment. Joseph bolted, leaving his garment with her. That allowed her the opportunity to frame him, the consequence was that an enraged Potiphar had Joseph thrown into prison. It seems that God’s being with Joseph was a cruel joke. But God once again was with Joseph, which caught the warden’s eye. Eventually, Joseph was made a custodian who was in charge of the other prisoners. Once again, Joseph had landed on his feet.
