[jmt356]

I have reexamined Genesis and found the above summary is inaccurate. Here is the correction:

- Joseph’s brothers were jealous of him, so they sold him to the Egyptians as a slave to Potiphar, a captain in Pharaoh's house;
- Potiphar's wife wanted to sleep with Joseph, but he refused. In anger, she falsely accused him of attacking her and as a result, Joseph was put into prison.
- While in prison, Joseph’s interpreted the dreams of Pharaoh’s chief cup bearer and baker.
- Years later, the cup bearer remembered Joseph when Pharaoh had a dream that he wanted to interpret. Joseph successfully interpreted Pharaoh’s dream and advised that Pharaoh prepare for seven years of famine by storing a fifth of the grains during the seven years of harvest. As a result, he was put in charge of Pharaoh’s kingdom.
