God’s Testing and Joseph’s Transformation: Rising from Prison to Purpose

This portion begins the story of Joseph, the beloved son of Jacob. Joseph receives dreams from God that point to his future, yet his brothers burn with jealousy. Their anger leads them to betray him, selling him into slavery in Egypt. Meanwhile, Judah’s family story is woven into the narrative, and Joseph’s integrity is tested in Potiphar’s house and later in prison. Even in suffering, God’s hand is quietly at work, preparing the way for deliverance.
