Genesis 37 Summary
Joseph Sold into Egypt
Joseph, favored by his father Jacob, dreams of his brothers bowing to him. His brothers hatred boils over; they sell him to Ishmaelite traders for twenty pieces of silver. Joseph is taken to Egypt. Jacob is deceived by the blood-dipped coat. What his brothers intend for evil, God intends for good.
