After Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, you would expect the rest of "The Story" to unfold in the land God promised to them and their descendants. But, in chapter three, we go from Caanan to Egypt and the road there is filled with a series of misfortunes for Jacob's son, Joseph. But because God's hand is in all of Joseph's life, there can be a reconciliation at the end of this chapter that foreshadows how God will bring all people into His family.
