جوزيف Sold Into slavery

Joseph stands among a caravan of robed traders and loaded camels as his brothers hand him over on the road to Egypt. The scene portrays the moment from Genesis when jealousy turns into betrayal: Jacob’s favored son is taken from his family and sold for silver to traveling merchants. The camels, packs, staffs, and desert hills emphasize the long journey ahead, while the gathered men form a tense circle around the young captive. In biblical context, this painful sale becomes the first step in God’s providential preservation of Israel, as Joseph’s suffering later leads to deliverance during famine. The artwork is suited for teaching on sibling jealousy, betrayal, providence, forgiveness, and the early life of Joseph in Genesis.
