Joseph’s Brothers Go to Egypt: Jacob Sends Ten Sons to Buy Grain Bible Map
$10.00
Ten Brothers Go Shopping
A famine has hit Canaan, and Jacob hears that Egypt has grain to sell. He sends ten of his sons on the roughly 200-mile journey from Hebron to Egypt, setting the stage for an unexpected reunion with their brother Joseph.
Description
Jacob’s Sons Travel to Egypt for Food
A severe famine had spread across the region, leaving Jacob and his family in Canaan without enough food. When Jacob heard that Egypt had grain available, he sent ten of his sons south to buy supplies. Benjamin, Joseph’s younger brother, stayed home with Jacob.
The map traces their journey from Jacob’s family camp near Hebron to the Nile River Delta in Egypt. The trip covered about 200 miles and could follow either a coastal route along the Mediterranean Sea or a more direct desert route through the wilderness.
Along the way, the travelers would have crossed some of the harshest landscapes in the region. The map identifies the Wilderness of Shur, Wilderness of Zin, and Wilderness of Paran, helping show just how different the dry desert terrain was from the fertile lands around the Nile.
Their destination was Egypt, where the Nile River made farming possible even while surrounding lands struggled with famine. The map highlights the Nile River Delta and Avaris, an important ancient Egyptian city in the region.
But the trip was about to become much more than a simple search for food. When Joseph’s brothers arrived in Egypt, they came face-to-face with Joseph—the brother they had sold into slavery years earlier. They did not recognize him, but Joseph recognized them.
That makes this journey an important turning point in the Joseph story. What began as ten brothers traveling to Egypt to buy grain would eventually lead to the entire family moving to Egypt and changing the course of Israel’s story.
