yo.seph names Joseph, chiefly the figure in Genesis and also the tribal house or other individuals bearing that name.

The proper name most often identifies Joseph in the Genesis narrative and in later references to him; it also designates the house, remnant, or tribal grouping associated with Joseph, and appears for other individuals in lists.

1. Joseph in the ancestral narrative · dominant

   The proper noun identifies the son named by Rachel in Genesis 30:24 and follows him through the Genesis narrative: his brothers strip and sell him in Genesis 37:23 and Genesis 37:28, and he is brought to Egypt in Genesis 39:1. Later verses still identify this Joseph in connection with Egypt, his death, and his bones in Exodus 1:5, Exodus 1:6, and Exodus 13:19.
