What is the story of Gideon?

The story of Gideon is God's choice to use the least in worldly stature to deliver the strength of His promises. Through faith and obedience Gideon is able to do what an entire unbelieving nation could not in defeating the enemy. Gideon glorifies God and in the process is glorified in his deeds. Gideon was a chosen by God as a 'judge' to deliver Israel during the period of the Judges as recorded in the book of that name. Specifically he attacked, with 300 men, a greatly superior force (numerically) of Midianites who had invaded the land of Israel. The account of Gideon is recorded in Judges chapters 6 through 8.

Why was Joseph sold for only 20 pieces of silver?

The Scripture plainly states that Joseph was sold to Midianites for 20 shekels of silver (Genesis 37:28). But the question is why and the Scripture does not directly say. However, the reader may infer that 20 shekels was the going rate at that time but that does not reconcile with later Israelite law for 30 shekels found in Exodus 21:32. The reader may consider the Midianites (term used interchangeably with Ishmaelites as both were sons of Abraham and wandering Arab traders) coming upon this scene sensed foul play and bargained for the lesser price for their silence. Conjecture but plausible with the ways of men, even today. In any event, the reader can see how commentaries and the above explaination are only the views of someone and not direct from Scripture which is silent on this topic - yet provides enough information for these differing viewpoints.
