The term is used both literally and metaphorically throughout the Scriptures, illustrating various aspects of human experience and divine intervention. Old Testament Context 1. Joseph Sold into Slavery: One of the most notable instances of being sold is the account of Joseph, whose brothers sold him into slavery. This act of betrayal is recorded in <a href="/genesis/37-28.htm">Genesis 37:28</a>: "So when the Midianite traders passed by, his brothers pulled Joseph out of the pit and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt." This event set the stage for Joseph's eventual rise to power in Egypt and the preservation of his family during famine, demonstrating God's providential care and the theme of redemption. 2. Levitical Laws on Slavery: The Mosaic Law provided regulations concerning the selling of individuals into servitude, often as a means of debt repayment. <a href="/leviticus/25-39.htm">Leviticus 25:39-40</a> states, "If your brother among you becomes destitute and sells himself to you, you must not force him into slave labor. Let him stay with you as a hired worker or temporary resident; he is to work for you until the Year of Jubilee." This law underscores the importance of compassion and the eventual restoration of freedom. 3. Prophetic Imagery: The prophets frequently used the imagery of being sold to convey Israel's spiritual unfaithfulness. For example, in <a href="/isaiah/50.htm">Isaiah 50:1</a>, God questions, "Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce with which I sent her away? Or to which of My creditors did I sell you? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, and for your transgressions your mother was sent away." This metaphor highlights the consequences of sin and the need for repentance. New Testament Context 1. Judas Iscariot's Betrayal: In the New Testament, the act of selling is poignantly illustrated in the betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot. <a href="/matthew/26-15.htm">Matthew 26:15</a> records Judas asking, "What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you?" So they set out for him thirty pieces of silver. This transaction symbolizes the ultimate betrayal and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy regarding the Messiah's suffering. 2. Spiritual Bondage: The Apostle Paul uses the concept of being sold to describe the human condition under sin. In <a href="/romans/7-14.htm">Romans 7:14</a>, he writes, "We know that the Law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin." This metaphor emphasizes the power of sin over humanity and the need for deliverance through Christ. 3. Redemption through Christ: The New Testament also presents the theme of redemption from being "sold" under sin. <a href="/galatians/3-13.htm">Galatians 3:13</a> declares, "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.'" Through His sacrificial death, Jesus provides the means for believers to be bought back from the bondage of sin, offering freedom and eternal life. Theological Implications The biblical use of "sold" serves as a powerful reminder of the consequences of sin and the hope of redemption. It illustrates the gravity of betrayal and the depth of God's love in providing a way of salvation. The narratives and teachings surrounding this concept encourage believers to reflect on their own spiritual condition and the transformative power of Christ's redemptive work.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
