📜 Parashat Vayeshev
Genesis · portion 9 of 54 Genesis 37:1–40:23
What happens this week?
Jacob loves Joseph and gives him a special coat of many colors. Joseph dreams that his brothers’ bundles of wheat — and even the Sun, Moon and stars — bow to him. His brothers become jealous.
The brothers throw Joseph into a pit and sell him to traders headed to Egypt. There, Joseph works hard, but he is unfairly put in prison. In prison he explains the dreams of Pharaoh’s cupbearer and baker.
