They sold him to Potiphar, the chief of Pharaoh's bodyguard in Egypt.
(Genesis 37:21-28, 36; 39:1)
All of them except Benjamin collectively plotted to do something to Joseph to hurt him. Initially it was to kill him then just to throw him into the well so the brothers could be rid of him.
yes! because after it he became the pharaoh (king) of Egypt
The account at: Genesis 37:28, says it was the Ishmaelites.
They came out of Jordan Ishmaelites were the descendants of Ishmael who was Abraham's son from his wife Sara's maidservant.
In the Bible, it was Judah who suggested selling Joseph to the Ishmaelites. This occurred after Joseph's brothers had thrown him into a pit, contemplating his fate. Judah proposed selling him instead of killing him, which ultimately led to Joseph being sold into slavery in Egypt. This account can be found in Genesis 37:26-27.
It was Poitphar the captain of Pharoah's guard. Genesis 39:1 Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there.
Joseph used it to put Benjamin in a situation where his brothers would have to protect Benjamin or let him suffer. Since Benjamin was the now the favored son since Joseph's departure, this would show if his brothers had learned their lesson from having sold him to the Ishmaelites. Since Judah rose up and chose to take Benjamin's place as Joseph's slave (the penalty for theft), Joseph realizes that his brothers have learned their lesson.
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a religious based musical. However, it never mentions God. It tells the story of Joseph and how his brothers sell to to Ishmaelites and he becomes a king. While it is religious based it can easily be passed off as just a story.
Well, honey, let me break it down for you. Joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver because that was the going rate for a slave back in the day. His brothers saw an opportunity to make a quick buck and didn't give a second thought to betraying him. It was a shady deal, but hey, that's family for you.
Judah did not want Joseph to be killed and preferred selling him to the Ishmeelites. Reuben also did not want to kill Joseph. He suggested they throw him into the cistern and secretly planned to save and return him to their father later, but his brothers sold Joseph in his absence.
Joseph's brothers sold him. Genesis 37: 25 And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. 26 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? 27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content. 28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
JacobAnswer:Genesis 37:20-22 - "Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, 'Some wild beast has devoured him.' We shall see what will become of his dreams!"But Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let us not kill him." And Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on him" - that he might deliver him out of their hands, and bring him back to his father.[NKJV]
