Joseph slavery

Joseph was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers for 20 pieces of silver to 

Midianite/Ishmaelite traders. The traders took him to Egypt, where he was sold again to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard. This event is chronicled in Genesis 37. 

Key Details of the Event (Genesis 37):
  • The Motive: Joseph’s brothers envied him because of his father Jacob’s favoritism and his dream-interpreting abilities.
  • The Plot: Originally planning to kill him, the brothers, influenced by Judah, decided to sell him instead.
  • The Transaction: Joseph was sold to a caravan of Midianite/Ishmaelite merchants for 20 shekels of silver.
  • The Deception: The brothers dipped Joseph's special robe in goat's blood to deceive their father into believing a wild animal had killed him.
  • The Destination: In Egypt, Potiphar purchased Joseph, where he eventually became a trusted household manager

  • According to Genesis 37:2, Joseph was approximately 
    17 years old when his brothers sold him into slavery. He was taken to Egypt and sold to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh. Joseph remained in slavery and imprisonment until he was 30 years old, when he became second-in-command over Egypt. 
    Key details regarding Joseph's age and enslavement:
    • Age at Sale: 17 years old (Genesis 37:2).
    • Time in Captivity: He was 30 when he interpreted Pharaoh's dream (Genesis 41:46), indicating 13 years passed between his enslavement and his rise to power.
    • Context: He was sold by his brothers to Ishmaelite traders for 20 pieces of silver.
