His son's names were Ephraim and Manasseh. Joseph was sold into slavery when he was young. Joseph's slave master was named Potiphar. Potiphar threw Joseph into prison because because he was falsely accused by his wife. After seven years of being in the prison Joseph was released to try to interpret Pharaoh's dreams. After interpreting them with God's help Joseph was put in charge of all Egypt only that Pharaoh would be higher. Joseph's job was to collect grain for the upcoming seven years of famine that he had predicted. Joseph's wife's name was Asenath.
