Lesson_66_Joseph_Sold

Joseph's brothers are pasturing their flocks near Dothan. Jacob sends 17-year-old Joseph to check on them.

When the brothers see the 'Dreamer' coming in his fancy coat, their bitter jealousy boils over into a murder

plot. Reuben convinces them to throw Joseph into a dry cistern instead of killing him, secretly planning to

rescue him later. They strip Joseph of his coat and throw him in the pit. While Reuben is away, Judah sees a

caravan of Ishmaelite traders heading to Egypt and suggests they sell Joseph for profit. They sell their own

brother for 20 shekels of silver. To cover up their horrific crime, they dip Joseph's beautiful coat in goat's

blood and convince their father that a wild animal devoured his favorite son. Today, we dive deep into the

science, geography, and deep emotional trauma of this chapter with 4 comprehensive Add-Ons!
