<P> Joseph ( / ˈdʒoʊzɪf , - sɪf / ; Hebrew : יוֹסֵף ‎ meaning `` Increase '' , Standard Yosef Tiberian Yôsēp̄ ; Arabic : يوسف ‎ ‎ Yūsuf or Yūsif ; Ancient Greek : Ἰωσήφ Iōsēph ) is an important figure in the Bible 's Book of Genesis and also in the Quran . Sold into slavery by his jealous brothers , he rose to become vizier , the second most powerful man in Egypt next to Pharaoh , where his presence and office caused Israel to leave Canaan and settle in Egypt . The composition of the story can be dated to the period between the 7th century BCE and the third quarter of the 5th century BCE , which is roughly the period to which scholars date the Book of Genesis . </P>
