Joseph Sold by His Brothers

Joseph Sold by His Brothers

Joseph's brothers were so sick of his dreams and his fancy coat that they sold him into slavery. Family dysfunction at its peak.

The PatriarchsOld Testament~1898 BCE

Jacob gave Joseph a special robe (the drip that started drama) and Joseph kept having dreams about his family bowing to him — which he told everyone about. His brothers plotted to unalive him but Reuben talked them down. They threw him in a pit, then sold him to traders for 20 pieces of silver. They dipped the robe in goat blood and told Jacob a wild animal got him. Jacob was inconsolable. Meanwhile Joseph ended up in Egypt at Potiphar's house.

GenesisThe Favorite Son and the Pit That Changed Everything

Joseph is seventeen, has a drip coat from his father, and keeps having dreams where everyone bows to him. His brothers are NOT having it. What starts as jealousy ends with a pit, a slave trade, and a blood-soaked cover-up.
