EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the poignant moment when Joseph, the favored son of Jacob, is sold by his jealous brothers into the hands of a caravan of merchants. The scene is set against the backdrop of the ancient land of Canaan, with the sun setting over the rugged terrain. Joseph, dressed in simple clothing and with a look of despair on his face, is surrounded by his brothers, who appear hardened and resolved in their decision. The merchants, represented by the camel train in the distance, are oblivious to the family drama unfolding before them. This powerful image is taken from the biblical story of Joseph, as recounted in the Book of Genesis. Joseph's brothers, envious of his special status in their father's eyes, conspire to sell him into slavery. They deceive their father Jacob by dipping Joseph's coat in goat's blood and presenting it to him as evidence of Joseph's demise. The brothers then sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites, who in turn sell him to the Egyptians. Joseph's journey to Egypt sets in motion a series of events that ultimately leads to his rise to power and the salvation of his family during a famine. This image captures the emotional turmoil and the sense of loss that accompanies the separation of Joseph from his family, as well as the inexorable march of history. This historical print, from the vast collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of biblical history and the ancient world. It invites us to reflect on the complexities of human relationships, the passage of time, and the enduring power of faith and family.
