“ Jacob’s sons were jealous of their brother Joseph. So they sold him as a slave. He was taken to Egypt. But God was with him.

But the traders from Midian sold Joseph to Potiphar in Egypt. Potiphar was one of Pharaoh’s officials. He was the captain of the palace guard.

You planned to harm me. But God planned it for good. He planned to do what is now being done. He wanted to save many lives.

Come. Let’s sell him to these traders. Let’s not harm him ourselves. After all, he’s our brother. He’s our own flesh and blood.” Judah’s brothers agreed with him.The traders from Midian came by. Joseph’s brothers pulled him up out of the well. They sold him to the Ishmaelite traders for eight ounces of silver. Then the traders took him to Egypt.

Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. An Egyptian named Potiphar had bought him from the Ishmaelite traders who had taken him there. Potiphar was one of Pharaoh’s officials. He was the captain of the palace guard.

Joseph said to his brothers,“ Come close to me.” So they did. Then he said,“ I am your brother Joseph. I’m the one you sold into Egypt.But don’t be upset. And don’t be angry with yourselves because you sold me here. God sent me ahead of you to save many lives.

But God sent me ahead of you to keep some of you alive on earth. He sent me here to save your lives by an act of mighty power.“ So then, it wasn’t you who sent me here. It was God. He made me like a father to Pharaoh. He made me master of Pharaoh’s entire house. God made me ruler of the whole land of Egypt.
