Or as the 🫘 of Joseph. Basically, there's no escape. 🤪
"...and a young Abe Lincoln was one of the first customers."
Now, while people endlessly argue over Abraham Lincoln -- Honest Abe or destroyer of worlds -- those who can see through to undisputed fact can see the fact of the *traditional* talking point of history, that Abraham Lincoln "freed the slaves".
It may look like a silly point to point out, but it's like the arguments over the date for the birth of Christ. There are many theories, but the *fact* is that it is *celebrated* on December 25th. Everybody knows that. It's [still] printed right on the calendars.
Thus, the famous blurb about Abe Lincoln is that he "freed the slaves". (Bring me a penny...)
Puns: no wrong, only riiiight. Sure footing. No feet left behind.
It's a serious article, but I have to laugh:
As we have already seen, early on Joseph is linked to the fulfillment of Jacob's legacy.
These are the generations of Jacob, Joseph was seventeen years old ...[Genesis 37:2]
At the outset, the Torah connects Jacob with Joseph. Of all his sons specifically Joseph holds the key* to not only Jacob's but the family's ission. [sic]

Besides, I have to reject the premise that Joseph resisted Potiphar's wife, as if it were a matter of willpower. More like he had no desire to get tangled up with a cougar-boss' wife-woman of bad character.
It wouldn't surprise me if Joseph himself had handed down the Universal Hot Crazy Matrix, to help the guys who get caught up in all the sensory confusion.
"The majestic winged-horse/unicorn flies down from the clouds, hence the association with lightning. Similarly, the Midrash (Yalkut Shimoni II, 688) records a fascinating story in which the majestic re’em/unicorn lifts David up into the clouds"* This stuff is actually literal. I've posted Joseph's super-mysterious Egyptian "code" name many times around here, where it has 2 keys hiding in plain sight in the text. The stuff that just sits there..
