Resumen
Else Lasker-Schuler, Jewish german writer, died in 1945 in Jerusalem as she was nearly 76 after an exile in Switzer- land from 1933 to 1939. She had a completely personal conception of the biblical characters. Two of those characters, King David and Joseph from Egypt were particularly important to her. King David was a poet as she was herself and Joseph, Jacob's son, had prophetic dreams and besides, he was sold to a caravan that was going to Egypt. During her infancy she used to disguise herself as ~Joseph of Egypb) and acted in front of her mother the drama of Joseph sold to the Egyptians. As an adult, she recited her poems dressed as ((Jussuf», prince of Thebes (Joseph in arab as she said) and signed her letters with this same name saying she was Joseph from Egypt, among other reasons because she felt herself a profet through her poetry and because the World had sols and betrayed her. This paper wants to point out the main traits of her growing identification with Joseph from Egypt in which the tunic ((of varied colours~~ that Jacob gave his son, plays an important role.
