Spotted in the distance, a plot unfolds to throw the haughty brother into a pit. But when a caravan appears on the horizon, Judah comes up with an idea to test Joseph. The intention is to test Joseph's dreams. And so Joseph lives out the drama of a shepherd, the son of shepherds, who wanders far from the flock. Almost immediately, he faces his first test, resisting the sexual temptations of his employer's wife.
Resistance results in a heavy price.
Survivor of one pit, Joseph certainly knows that an Egyptian jail is a taste of hell, yet even here he remains true to the faith of his fathers. He predicts one man's release and another's execution, and then he's forgotten. For all he knows, Joseph will never again see the light of day. Yet all he has to do is slip word to Potiphar's wife that he has changed his mind. But Joseph never relaxes his sexual standards, he never forgets G-d, and never denies that he is a Hebrew.
