A weathered tent stands alone, surrounded by grazing sheep. Inside, an elderly man with a long gray beard sits with his youngest son.* **Jacob:** (placing a richly colored robe on Joseph's shoulders) My son, this coat is a symbol of my love for you. You alone among your brothers have the gift of dreams and visions. **Joseph:** (beaming) Thank you, father. I will treasure it always. *Outside the tent, Joseph's older brothers watch with barely concealed hatred.* **Reuben:** (scowling) Look at him, prancing about in that gaudy coat. Father's precious favorite. **Simeon:** (clenching his fists) He thinks he's better than us. Did you hear about his latest "dream"? He said we'd all bow down to him one day! **Judah:** (eyes narrowing) Perhaps it's time we taught little Joseph a lesson... ## Act II: Betrayal in the Wilderness *The brothers lead their flocks to a distant pasture. Joseph follows, sent by his father to check on them.* **Joseph:** (waving) Brothers! I've come to see how you fare! **Levi:** (muttering) Here comes that dreamer. **Judah:** (grabbing Joseph) Now's our chance. Let's kill him and be rid of his arrogance once and for all! **Reuben:** (alarmed) No! We can't shed our own blood. Let's throw him in this pit instead. *The brothers strip Joseph of his coat and throw him into a deep pit.* **Joseph:** (crying out) Please, brothers! Why are you doing this? *A caravan of traders approaches.* **Judah:** (eyes gleaming) I have an idea. Why waste this opportunity? Let's sell him as a slave. We'll be rid of him and make some money too. *The brothers pull Joseph from the pit and sell him to the traders.* **Joseph:** (being led away in chains) How could you do this? We're family! ## Act III: From Slave to Savior *Years pass. Joseph rises from slavery to become Pharaoh's right-hand man in Egypt. A terrible famine grips the land.* **Pharaoh:** Joseph, your wisdom has saved Egypt. Now use our abundance to save the surrounding lands. *Joseph's brothers arrive in Egypt, seeking food.* **Benjamin:** (whispering) Those men look familiar... **Joseph:** (shocked, speaking to himself) My brothers... after all these years... *Joseph tests his brothers, accusing them of being spies and demanding they bring Benjamin. When they return, he reveals his identity.* **Joseph:** (tears in his eyes) I am Joseph, your brother whom you sold into slavery. **Brothers:** (falling to their knees in fear and shock) **Joseph:** (lifting them up) Do not be afraid. What you meant for evil, God meant for good. He sent me ahead to preserve life during this famine. ## Epilogue *The family is reunited in Egypt, saved from starvation.* **Narrator:** And so, through forgiveness and God's providence, a broken family was made whole. Joseph's journey from favored son to slave to savior shows us how even the deepest betrayals can be overcome, and that God can use our hardships to accomplish great good. In our own lives, can we find the strength to forgive those who have wronged us? Can we trust that our current struggles might be preparing us for a greater purpose?
