The traders from Midian came by. Joseph’s brothers pulled him up out of the well. They sold him to the Ishmaelite traders for eight ounces of silver. Then the traders took him to Egypt.

Then their father Israel spoke to them. He said,“ If that’s the way it has to be, then do what I tell you. Put some of the best things from our land in your bags. Take them down to the man as a gift. Take some lotion and a little honey. Take some spices and myrrh. Take some pistachio nuts and almonds.

Isn’t there any healing lotion in Gilead? Isn’t there a doctor there? Then why doesn’t someone heal the wounds of my people?

The angel of the Lord also said to her,“ You are now pregnant and will have a son. You will name him Ishmael, because the Lord has heard about your suffering.He will be like a wild donkey. He will use his power against everyone, and everyone will be against him. He will not get along with any of his family.”

But the traders from Midian sold Joseph to Potiphar in Egypt. Potiphar was one of Pharaoh’s officials. He was the captain of the palace guard.

Do all these people who do evil know nothing? They eat up my people as if they were eating bread. They never call out to the Lord.

“ This is the way of a woman who commits adultery. She eats and wipes her mouth. Then she says,‘ I haven’t done anything wrong.’

“ People of Egypt, go up to Gilead and get some healing lotion. You may try many medicines, but you will not be healed. There isn’t any healing for you.

You drink wine by the bowlful. You use the finest lotions. But Joseph’s people will soon be destroyed. And you aren’t even sad about it.

Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. An Egyptian named Potiphar had bought him from the Ishmaelite traders who had taken him there. Potiphar was one of Pharaoh’s officials. He was the captain of the palace guard.

He took his relatives with him and went after Jacob. Seven days later he caught up with him in the hill country of Gilead.

The children of Dedan were the Ashurites, the Letushites and the Leummites.The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanok, Abida and Eldaah. All of them were members of Keturah’s family line.

He joined the members of his family who had already died.His children settled in the area between Havilah and Shur. It was near the eastern border of Egypt, as you go toward Ashur. Ishmael’s children weren’t friendly toward any of the tribes related to them.

The king commanded the messengers to go out. So they did. The order was sent out from the fort of Susa. Then the king and Haman sat down to drink wine. But the people in the city were bewildered.

So Jacob ran off with everything he had. He crossed the Euphrates River. And he headed for the hill country of Gilead.

Their forces include the people of Edom, Ishmael, Moab and Hagar.
