Joseph's Coat

Above is the entire Psalm 124 and illustration of Joseph's brothers dipping his coat into ram's blood. The ram is used in the scriptures to depict a "scapegoat"
Description of Illustration: Joseph's Coat, Joseph's brothers, the bloody ram, deception, prophecy, foreshadowing of things to come, tribes of Israel, alone in the desert, saved for a journey to Egypt, God was always with him

In the Bible, a scapegoat is an animal which is ritually burdened with the sins of others then driven away. The concept first appears in Leviticus, in which a goat is designated to be cast into the desert to carry away the sins of the community.
And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats: one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for Azazel.— Leviticus 16:8, Jewish Publication Society (1917)
"And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats,
and dipped the coat in the blood;" Genesis 37:31 (KJV)
