The Three Possible Figures

I feel as though the three most important figures in the bible would have to be Joseph, Moses, and Abraham. They stayed faithful throughout their lives and followed the Lord the best that they could. Their impact in the bible was known throughout the bible and referenced many times.

Joseph was the son of Jacob and Rachel as well as the 11th of 12 brothers. All of his brothers grew jealous of him, because he was the favored son to his father Jacob. His brothers grew to hate him so much that they conspired against their brother and sold him to slave traders, but told their father that he Joseph was attacked by an animal and died.
