وَاجْتَازَ رِجَالٌ مِدْيَانِيُّونَ تُجَّارٌ، فَسَحَبُوا يُوسُفَ وَأَصْعَدُوهُ مِنَ الْبِئْرِ، وَبَاعُوا يُوسُفَ لِلإِسْمَاعِيلِيِّينَ بِعِشْرِينَ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ. فَأَتَوْا بِيُوسُفَ إِلَى مِصْرَ.

At this chapter begins the story of Joseph, who, in every subsequent chapter but one to the end of this book, makes the greatest figure. He was Jacob's eldest son by his beloved wife Rachel, born, as many eminent men were, of a mother that had been long barren. His story is so remarkably divided between his humiliation and his exaltation that we cannot avoid seeing something of Christ in it, who was first humbled and then exalted, and, in many instances, so as to answer the type of Joseph. It also shows the lot of Christians, who must through many tribulations enter into the kingdom. In this chapter we have, I. The malice his brethren bore against him. They hated him, 1. Because he informed his father of their wickedness (Gen 37:1, Gen 37:2). 2. Because his father loved him (Gen 37:3, Gen 37:4). 3. Because he dreamed of his dominion over them (Gen 37:5-11). II. The mischiefs his brethren designed and did to him. 1. The kind visit he made them gave an opportunity (Gen 37:12-17). 2. They designed to slay him, but determined to starve him (Gen 37:18-24). 3. They changed their purpose, and sold him for a slave (Gen 37:25-28). 4. They made their father believe that he was torn in pieces (Gen 37:29-35). 5. He was sold into Egypt to Potiphar (Gen 37:36). And all this was working together for good.

The term Ishmaelite may have described bedouin tribes generally. The Midianites might also have been traveling with a separate caravan of Ishmaelite traders (37:27). • Kidnapping (see 40:15) would become a capital offense (see Exod 21:16) in Jewish law.

وَرُؤَسَاءُ الآبَاءِ حَسَدُوا يُوسُفَ وَبَاعُوهُ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَكَانَ اللهُ مَعَهُ،
أَرْسَلَ أَمَامَهُمْ رَجُلاً. بِيعَ يُوسُفُ عَبْدًا.
فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ: زِمْرَانَ وَيَقْشَانَ وَمَدَانَ وَمِدْيَانَ وَيِشْبَاقَ وَشُوحًا.
ثُمَّ جَلَسُوا لِيَأْكُلُوا طَعَامًا. فَرَفَعُوا عُيُونَهُمْ وَنَظَرُوا وَإِذَا قَافِلَةُ إِسْمَاعِيلِيِّينَ مُقْبِلَةٌ مِنْ جِلْعَادَ، وَجِمَالُهُمْ حَامِلَةٌ كَثِيرَاءَ وَبَلَسَانًا وَلاَذَنًا، ذَاهِبِينَ لِيَنْزِلُوا بِهَا إِلَى مِصْرَ.
وَأَمَّا الْمِدْيَانِيُّونَ فَبَاعُوهُ فِي مِصْرَ لِفُوطِيفَارَ خَصِيِّ فِرْعَوْنَ، رَئِيسِ الشُّرَطِ.
وَقَالَ:«مَاذَا تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تُعْطُوني وَأَنَا أُسَلِّمُهُ إِلَيْكُمْ؟» فَجَعَلُوا لَهُ ثَلاَثِينَ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ.
حِينَئِذٍ تَمَّ مَا قِيلَ بِإِرْمِيَا النَّبِيِّ الْقَائِلِ:«وَأَخَذُوا الثَّلاَثِينَ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ، ثَمَنَ الْمُثَمَّنِ الَّذِي ثَمَّنُوهُ مِنْ بَني إِسْرَائِيلَ،
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ جِدْعُونُ: «أَطْلُبُ مِنْكُمْ طِلْبَةً: أَنْ تُعْطُونِي كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ أَقْرَاطَ غَنِيمَتِهِ». لأَنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُمْ أَقْرَاطُ ذَهَبٍ لأَنَّهُمْ إِسْمَاعِيلِيُّونَ.
وَاسْمُ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمِدْيَانِيَّةِ الْمَقْتُولَةِ كُزْبِيَ بِنْتَ صُورٍ، هُوَ رَئِيسُ قَبَائِلِ بَيْتِ أَبٍ فِي مِدْيَانَ.
وَكَانَ لِكَاهِنِ مِدْيَانَ سَبْعُ بَنَاتٍ، فَأَتَيْنَ وَاسْتَقَيْنَ وَمَلأْنَ الأَجْرَانَ لِيَسْقِينَ غَنَمَ أَبِيهِنَّ.
