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.
