Throughout the film, Joseph develops new relations in Egypt with Asenath, Potiphar, and the Pharaoh.Īfter he is imprisoned because of Potiphar's wife, Zuleika, he is released and asked to interpret the Pharoah's dream which is one forseeing famine in Egypt. They later coated his robes in a goat blood, feigning to their father that he "died." Joseph soon left to be with his brothers, but they had had enough of Joseph's superiority over them, so they took his coat and pushed him in a ditch, later to sell him to slave-traders for twenty pieces of silver. When he spoke of this dream, his brothers ridiculed him and he was shunned off, followed by Rachel's song, "Bloom". The next night, Joseph dreamt about him and his brothers where Joseph was among them, but suddenly above them and they bowed before him.

However, Joseph noticed a dead ram, similar to one he had dreamt about and Jacob realized that his dreams provided visions of the future.
