I. THE ROOTS OF HIS FAMILY TREE
Abraham & Sarah
Isaac & Rebekah
Jacob & Leah and Rachel
Dinah, Simeon and Levi
II. THE RUTS IN HIS FAMILY TREE
Three primary issues between Joseph & his brothers:
1) Joseph brings a bad report. We call that (tattle-telling).
2) Joseph treated differently by Jacob. We call that (favoritism).
3) Joseph shares his dreams. We call that (arrogance or brashness).
The roots for their feelings about Joseph began with Jacob loving (Rachel) more than (Leah).
Jacob made two serious errors:
1. He sent the (wrong signals) to Joseph and his brothers.
2. Jacob inflicted the (pain of rejection) on his other sons.
