Then God chose Abraham, the Father of the Jews. He’d be a strong nation, get the deed to Canaan too. God told him that the Christ, would come through his line. Through him he’d bless the earth, really quiet fine. Abraham had Isaac, Isaac had two sons. Jacob, not Esau, would be the blessed one. Jacob has 12 sons, through his 4 wives. Cuz of the coat and dreams, there was lots of strife. So Joe is sent to Egypt, sold out by his kin.

Works for Potiphar whose wife, tries to make him sin. He then was put in prison, and told what 2 dreams mean. Then Pharaoh had 2 dreams, where some cows and grain were seen. Pharaoh sends for Joe, to see what they mean. There’ll be seven fat years, and seven lean. Joseph’s made man #2, and that’s good. Soon Egypt is the only place with food. So Jacob’s family scoots, on over there for bread, But Joseph and Pharaoh, soon they both are dead. Then Egypt puts Israel, in misery and tears, They are slaves and abused, for 400 years
