The account of Joseph, son of the Old Testament patriarch Jacob, is compelling because of the enduring themes of integrity, forgiveness, and faith that echo through the dramatic highs and lows of Joseph's life.

In doing so, he preserved the life of the infant nation of Israel and left a legacy of righteousness that resounds through three major world religions.
