Genesis 37:21
"Come now therefore, and let’s kill him, and cast him into one of the pits, and we will say, ‘An evil animal has devoured him.’ We will see what will become of his dreams.”"
Key Reflection
This passage reveals the brothers' willingness to eliminate Joseph out of jealousy and fear. Their plan to blame an "evil animal" for his death demonstrates their desire to silence him, not just to protect their own interests but also to erase any threat to their unity and perceived superiority within the family.
