     Joseph was the most loved by            Beer-sheba        Gen 37:1---4
     Jacob. Jacob made him a coat 
     of many colors which caused 
     his brothers to hate Joseph

     He dreams of future positions           Beer-sheba        Gen 37:5--11
     caused his brothers to hate
     him more

     Judah proposed that they would          Dotham            Gen 37:12-36
     sell him to the Midianites,who
     were on thier way to Egypt. The
     Midianites in turn sold him to
     Potipher,the Pharaoh's officer

     Joseph good work won Potiphar's         Eygpt House of    Gen 39:1---6
     favor, who made him overseer of         Potiphar
     the house

     Failing to entice Joseph to sin         Eygpt, In Prison  Gen 39:7--23
     with her, Potipher wife makes a
     false charge againist him and he
     was confined to prison

     of the prisioners, the king's
     bulter and baker                        

     Two years later, the Pharaoh had        Court of the      Gen 41:1--36
     two dreams that troubled him.           Pharaoh
     Joseph interprets them

     Parahaoh makes Joseph his prime         """      """      Gen 41:37-57
     minister. He acts very wisely 

     The famine in Palestine forces          Court of the      Gen 42:
     Jacob to send Joseph's brother's        Pharoh
     to Egypt to by Corn

     He required them to return with         Egypt             Gen 43----45
     Benjamin. He reveales himself to
     his brothers.

     Jacob and his people are placed by      Egypt & Goshen    Gen 46:1----
     Joseph in Goshen. Where Jacob gives                           50:13
     a prophetic statement of the tribes
     and dies. Joseph and His brothers
     bury him in the cave at Machpelah
     in Hebron


     After Jacob's death, Joseph lives       Egypt             Gen 50:14-26
     with his brothers untill he dies
     at the age of 110 years


     Many Bible scholars contrast the circumstances of Joseph's life to
     that of Christ's. He was sold by his own people into slavery. He
     was cast into prison to his humiliation. According to his statement
     one prisoner was greatly favored, the other suffered death. On the
     cross Jesus spoke one malefactor into paradise; the other died in 
     his sins. Joseph rose from humiliation to exaltation; From His humility
     and death and the grave Jesus rose in the glory of His resurrection.
