Joseph's Brothers Sell Him into Captivity (1855 painting by Konstantin Flavitsky). Vayeshev, Vayeishev, or Vayesheb (וַיֵּשֶׁב —Hebrew for "and he lived," the first word of the parashah) is the ninth weekly Torah portion (פָּרָשָׁה , parashah) in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading.
Joseph (/ ˈ dʒ oʊ z ə f,-s ə f /; Hebrew: יוֹסֵף, romanized: Yōsēp̄, lit. 'He shall add') [2] [a] is an important Hebrew figure in the Bible's Book of Genesis.He was the first of the two sons of Jacob and Rachel (Jacob's twelfth named child and eleventh son).
Thus, the slave of someone sufficiently exalted – such as the slave of a king or emperor – could well have a social status higher than a common free man; Paul's introduction of himself in Romans 1:1 as a doulos of Jesus Christ was probably not meant to be quite as humble as a modern English interpretation of being a slave would be.

The Jews visited Egypt in the Bible from the earliest patriarchs (beginning in Genesis 12:10–20), to the flight into Egypt by Joseph, Mary, and the infant Jesus (in Matthew 2:13–23). The most notable example is the long stay from Joseph's (son of Jacob) being sold into slavery in Genesis 29 , to the Exodus from Egypt in Exodus 14 , during ...
Joseph, after being ignored in the first half of the chapter, is again the central character. As in Matthew 1 Joseph is contacted by God in a dream. This verse is again clear that the child is not Joseph's. Egypt was the logical place to seek refuge as it was outside the dominions of King Herod. Throughout the Old Testament, it was the standard ...
