Joseph (Hebrew: יוֹסֵף ‎, Standard Yosef Tiberian Yôsēp̄; “May Yahweh add”; Arabic: يوسف‎, Yūsuf ) is an important person in the Hebrew Bible and in the Quran, where he connects the story of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in Canaan to the subsequent story of the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt.
The Book of Genesis tells how Joseph was the 11th of Jacob’s 12 sons and Rachel’s firstborn. Joseph was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers, yet rose to become the most powerful man in Egypt next to Pharaoh. When famine struck the land he brought the sons of Israel down to Egypt, where they were settled in the Land of Goshen.
The Bible offers two explanations of name Yosef: first it is compared to the word asaf from the root /’sp/, “taken away”: “And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach”; Yosef is then identified with the similar root /ysp/, meaning “add”:”And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.”
