JOSEPH

Definition

(1) The son of Jacob and Rachel, and the favorite of his father. This fondness made the brothers envious and jealous, and they sold him for twenty pieces of silver to the Ismaelites, who carried him to Egypt. There he became "governor over all the land of Egypt." (2) The husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus. He was a carpenter by trade and a "just man." (3) Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy member of the Sanhedrin and a disciple of Christ. He went to Pilate and begged for the body of Jesus and laid it in his own tomb. (4) There are several other Josephs mentioned in the Old Testament and New Testament.
