The Bible Project - Genesis - Chapter 43 - Jacob's sons leave with Benjamin

Jul 06, 2014 23:36

So for a while they don’t go, and they live of Joseph’s grain but once they’ve eaten it all, Joseph wants them to go back to Egypt and they can’t do that without Benjamin so they end up convincing Jospeh to let him go.
When they get to Egypt, Jopseh sees them and has them invited for lunch. They get scared because of the grain + money deal of their previous vist and try to apologize for it to the intendant, who calms them down.
Jospeh is very moved to see his brother Benjamin, but manages to hide his feelings and they have a meal and they all get drunk.

There isn’t anything particularly profund to be derived from this chapter.
