Os Negociadores Escravos

Joseph stands bound at the edge of the desert caravan while his brothers bargain with traveling merchants. A trader weighs out silver, camels wait behind him, and the young man is held by armed escorts, marking the moment Joseph is sold into slavery and carried toward Egypt. The scene draws from Genesis 37, where envy and betrayal turn a brother into merchandise, yet God’s providence will later use this suffering to preserve many lives. The image is well suited for teaching on Joseph, family jealousy, betrayal, forgiveness, divine sovereignty, and the beginning of Israel’s story in Egypt.
