What does the Bible say about the betrayal of Joseph?

Answered in 1 source

Joseph's betrayal by his brothers illustrates God's sovereignty and foreshadows Christ's betrayal.

The Bible narrates the story of Joseph in Genesis 37, where Joseph, favored by his father Jacob, is betrayed by his brothers out of jealousy and hatred. This betrayal is significant as it shows how God uses even the wicked actions of men to accomplish His purposes. Joseph's journey from the pit to captivity in Egypt ultimately leads to his rise as a ruler, which saves many lives during a famine. This mirrors the ultimate betrayal of Christ, who was sent by God to save those who rejected Him, demonstrating God's control over history and His redemptive plan.
