Sex & Nudity

  • It is discussed that a tribe must be circumcised in order to intermarry with Jacob's family.
  • A woman, pretending to be a prostitute, suggests that a man have sex with her. She undresses him but no nudity is shown. Very brief sex scene follows in which a man's buttocks are briefly shown.
  • The scenes with Potiphar's wife trying to seduce Joseph take many liberties, including fondling and, in certain versions of the movie, molesting. One bath scene leaves very little to be imagined. Joseph's buttocks are briefly shown in the water. No other nudity is shown in the scenes. Later, Potiphar's wife asks Joseph to have sex with her and rips off Joseph's clothing, and only his undergarment remains.
  • Shechem attempts to rape Dinah while she is resting in an upper chamber during an alcohol-centered feast. The ensuing scream is disturbing, but no explicit content. It is later revealed that Dinah was, in fact, violated. The tribal families attempt to patch up the situation by planning to have them marry.
  • It is suggested that Reuben has sex with his father's concubine. There is a scene with Reuben asking the concubine to speak with him privately. Later, Jacob briefly talks about Reuben seducing her.
  • A child's buttocks are briefly shown as he gets out of his bath.

Violence & Gore

  • An altercation among Joseph's brothers turns violent as they dispute the reason they were thrown into prison. They are shown furiously rushing towards one another, but nothing beyond that.
  • Joseph is thrown into a pit with a snake in it. His brothers throw rocks down at him.
  • Rachel is shown screaming out in pain during childbirth.
  • Several stabbings when Joseph's brothers attack a city in revenge for a sexual assault against their sister, but nothing graphic is shown.
  • The baker whips Joseph and and his bloody back is shown. Nothing too graphic, but rather disturbing.
  • The Egyptian overseer handles Joseph roughly several times. In one intense scene, he smashes Joseph in the hip with a rod, knocking him down.

Profanity

  • At least one use of the word "damn."

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • One scene with Dinah shows young people dancing and drinking, and their effects of too much alcohol.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Joseph is mistreated on multiple occasions, first by his brothers out of jealousy for favoritism shown by their father, and later by an Egyptian taskmaster who singles him out and bullies him for his religious beliefs. Moreover, he is sexually harassed by the wife of a prominent Egyptian.
  • Pharoah screams out after dreaming a troubling dream. He yells at his courtiers and angrily orders Joseph back to prison for giving him a dream interpretation that displeases him.
  • Joseph screams at God from his prison cell.
  • Joseph's father Jacob is heartbroken when he hears that Joseph is dead. He sobs uncontrollably, cries out, and covers his head with ashes. Scene may be too intense for younger viewers.
