Royal Rivals
Joseph firstborn of Rachel
Yehudah, the fourth son of Leah
Between them a rivalry from the start
Two future kings, already fighting as lads
Yehuda and his brothers mocking Joseph’s immaturity
Joseph reporting to his father their impurities
Joseph told his kingly dreams to his brothers on a whim
Yehuda and his brothers almost murdered him
Yet decades later, the two kings were reconciled
The would-be murderer apologizing to
the ruler of the Nile – Joseph – surprise!
