Joseph Led into Captivity

A dramatic biblical scene from the late golden afternoon in the desert: 17-year-old Joseph, wearing his torn multicolored coat, is led away in sorrow by Midianite/Ishmaelite traders toward Egypt. In the distance, his brothers watch with a mixture of guilt, resolve, and regret as Reuben stands devastated. A powerful portrayal of jealousy, betrayal, and the beginning of God’s greater plan.
