In the book of Genesis, Joseph had risen to a position of great power in Egypt as Pharaoh's second-in-command after interpreting Pharaoh's dreams about an upcoming famine. His father Jacob and brothers, who had previously sold him into slavery, were now arriving in Egypt to escape the same famine that Joseph had prepared for.
