Joseph's Brothers

Joseph’s brothers are the ten sons of Jacob and Leah or Rachel in the biblical story. They are part of a larger family and often experience rivalry and jealousy, especially because Joseph is favored by their father. This favoritism leads them to resent Joseph, culminating in their selling him into slavery in Egypt. Despite their actions, the story explores themes of jealousy, reconciliation, and forgiveness, as they eventually come to understand and repent for their past wrongdoings. Their story is a key part of biblical history, illustrating complex family dynamics and moral lessons.
