I
If your dreams include
ruling over your brothers
better not tell them.

II
Jealous brothers plot
the death of dad’s favored son
settle on a pit.

III
Your favorite son is
dead, the brothers tell their dad.
Jacob mourns for years.

IV
Judah’s sons die a lot
after fornicating with
Tamar. Coincidence?

V
Joseph rolls with the
punches. Impresses the whole
Potiphar family.

VI
The real housewives of
Egypt. Mrs. Potiphar
wants Joseph so bad.

VII
A butler and a
baker. Joseph’s prison friends.
Only one will live.
