Genesis 42:1-46:27, Psalm 15

Episode Summary

On our last episode we saw how the Lord orchestrated Joseph’s life to save the lives of many in the face of a coming famine. When his brothers show up to ask for food, they don’t recognize Joseph, but Joseph recognizes them. He declares them to be spies, and after a series questions, he sends them away and demands that they bring their younger brother back to Egypt to see if they are telling the truth. When their father, Jacob, who is also called Israel, finds out what is required he refuses to part with the son whom he believes to be the last surviving child of his beloved wife Rachel. After a series of negotiations, Israel relents and his sons return to Egypt with Benjamin to get more food.
