Joseph Lowered into the Pit (1546) by Georg Pencz - Bible Coloring Page
Joseph was the first son of Jacob by his second wife Rachel, and the eleventh son Jacob had fathered. Joseph is mentioned in the Bible Old Testament Book of Genesis. Most prominent about Joseph was his rise to Vizier for the Pharaoh of Egypt and ability to interpret dreams. He was favored by Jacob as the favorite son, and so was sold into slavery by his brothers in jealously. Despite the predicament, God was with Joseph and so he eventually rose to become his master's attendant.
