August 14

Introduction

Joseph’s brothers plot to kill him, but Judah convinces them to sell Joseph to a caravan of traders on their way to Egypt.

Scripture Reading

Genesis 37:12-36

Today’s Key Verse: Genesis 37:36

In Egypt, the Midianites had sold Joseph to Potiphar, one of the king’s officers, who was the captain of the palace guard.

Reflect

What was Reuben’s plan to save Joseph (verses 21, 22)? What did Judah suggest (verses 26, 27)? After selling Joseph to the traders going to Egypt, what did the brothers tell their father about Joseph? How did Jacob react?

Pray

Lord God, you are with me always, guiding me and watching over me. Deepen and strengthen my faith as I continue to grow in the knowledge of you. Amen.
