In this lesson, we follow Joseph from the comfort of his father’s favor into the isolation of the wilderness. What begins as a simple mission to check on his brothers quickly turns into a life-altering encounter with betrayal and the "pit."

Key themes covered in this study:

The Obedience of Joseph: Even in a tense family dynamic, Joseph travels to Shechem and Dothan to fulfill his father’s request.

The Conspiracy: Exploring the depth of the brothers' resentment and the moment they transition from hateful thoughts to violent actions.

Reuben’s Dilemma: A look at the failed attempt of the eldest brother to intervene and the consequences of "middle ground" leadership.

The Pit and the Caravan: Understanding the providence of God even when His presence feels silent in the midst of suffering.

Join us as we analyze Genesis 37:12-30 and discover how Joseph’s journey through the field reminds us that God is at work, even when we are "cast into the pit."
