Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh's officials, the captain of the guard. The repetition of the sale information anchors the narrative: Joseph is in Egypt, in Potiphar's household. The story that began in Canaan with shepherd brothers will unfold in Egypt in the palace of Pharaoh. The application: the place you end up is rarely the place where the story of how you got there began. Joseph's story starts in Canaan; it unfolds in Egypt.
