Border with Joseph Being Sold by His Brothers; Prayer Book of Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, about 1525-1530. Additional Info: Passing merchants pull the young Joseph from the well into which his jealous brothers had thrown him to get rid of him. Though they mercifully free Joseph from the well, the merchants rescue him only to sell him into slavery. Laden camels wait nearby to transport him to Egypt. Simon Bening paired the story of Joseph's betrayal by his brothers with Judas's betrayal of Christ on the facing page.
