silver in Genesis 37
SIL-ver
This thing shows up in Genesis 37:28: “Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 37:28
“Midianites who were merchants passed by, and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. They brought Joseph into Egypt.”
