Great-grandson of Abraham; civil administrator in Egypt.
Joseph's steadfast belief in Melchizedek set him apart as a dreamer among his brothers and ultimately shaped his path as a civil administrator in Egypt, as he labored for the advancement of the kingdom of heaven. [1]
Political circumstances in Egypt allowed for the promotion of Salem teachings by Joseph, who exerted great influence in a highly ethical but not overly spiritual society. [2] From the hills of Simeon, Jesus viewed Dothan, where Joseph was sold into Egyptian slavery, and recounted the historic events of his people. [3]
