Judah was the fourth son of Jacob. He proposed that they sell their brother Joseph into slavery rather than killing him, a decision that resulted in Joseph being separated from his family for more than twenty years. When Joseph tested his brothers in Egypt, Judah offered his own life to protect his younger brother Benjamin. The tribe that descended from Judah eventually came to represent the whole of the nation of Israel.

I thought the brothers sold Joseph but the Bible said some Midianites pulled him from the well and sold him to the caravan going to Egypt. Never noticed that before. Could it be the Judah told the Midianites Joseph’s location?
