A father's favourite son is sold into slavery in Egypt by jealous brothers, rises by a gift for reading dreams to become the pharaoh's right hand, and when famine sends them back to beg for grain, forgives them and saves the family.

Very deep is the well of the past. Should we not call it bottomless?
Joseph and His Brothers, Thomas Mann
