Out of jealousy, brothers Shimon and Levi sell Yosef into Egyptian slavery,

lying to his father that his brother was attacked and devoured by a wild beast.

Yitzchak, having become his own with the king and unwilling to allow sacrilege to his wife,

He was slandered and thrown into prison behind a heavy, bolted prison door.

In his imprisonment Yosef meets the cupbearer and the baker, Pharaoh’s officials,

He interprets their dreams and they come true: the latter is hanged, the former is released.

Yosef asks the freed cupbearer to put in a good word with his patron,

But the latter did not, and his sense of gratitude was completely devoid of gratitude.

Meanwhile, Yosef’s brother Yehuda gives birth to three sons,

The eldest son Er marries Tamar, but dies childless and young,

His brother Onan marries Tamar but dies quickly, sin is the cause,

Tamar by Yehudah bears sons Peretz and Zerach, driven by her instinct.
