Joseph in the Pit
It’s worth slowing down and really trying to see the story as it unfolds.
Imagine the terror Joseph feels when his brothers strip him of his prized robe and violently throw him into the pit.
Imagine what it was like to be kept there under the unmerciful sun while your brothers decide how to dispose of you.
Imagine the screaming helplessness he feels as the Midianite slavers take him captive.
Imagine the brothers slaughtering a goat and rinsing Joseph’s prized robe in animal blood.
And imagine Jacob receiving the news and seeing the brown spots on the torn robe.
