Shalom!   We are about to close out the book of Bereshith/Genesis. Yosef is the most significant and symbolic character in the final fourteen chapters. It is interesting to note that as Yosef has risen to the top everywhere he's been, he's never been the number one guy: as a young boy, he was elevated by Ya'acov as the chosen son, but always under Ya'acov elevated in Potifar's house, but still under Potifar put in charge of those held in prison, but...
