In this portion we discuss some of the reasons why Joseph experienced so much suffering. Jewish and Christian tradition give us some clues that help us understand that the lives of the patriarchs are much different than ours. They were flawed individuals with family challenges and dysfunction like the rest of us, but they also had a loving God who had given them covenantal promises that He intended to fulfill despite their shortcomings. Amazing Grace!!! We all need it. It is by grace that we are saved, and not of ourselves, it is the gift of God. Ephesian 2:8.
Joseph will finally step into the fulfillment of his destiny at the appointed time. We learn that the promise of Yahweh will test and try our hearts to discern our motive and intent. Psalm 105:19, but it is all working for our good. It is all for His divine purpose and for His promise to be made manifest when our hearts align with His will for our lives.

Hebrew term "lashon hara" is defined at evil speech and Jewish tradition and scripture record that Joseph gave "evil reports" to Jacob about his ten brothers. Gen. 37:2. Lashon hara is commonly referred to as gossip or slander. This is one of the reason's Potifer's wife slandered Joseph through accusation.
One New Man Bible by William J. Morford has a excellent article discussing gossip and slander in the bible glossary. I attempted to find a link from his website but was unable to find one. Here is an excerpt from the glossary: "Gossip/Slander. We will be judged by every idle word, as Y'shua spoke in Matt. 12:36. and i say to you that every idle word which men will speak will be paid back with regard to his account on Judgment Day. 37. for you will be justified because of your words and you will be condemned because of your words.( p. 1730). Joseph had a problem with this based on Gen. 37:2 ......Bringing slanderous reports showed wrong motive. when his goal apparently to curry favor with Jacob, not to change the brother's behavior. (p. 1731-32).
