Genesis Chapter 43
Famine is still bad in Canaan and Jacob really has no choice
but to send back to Egypt for more grain, only this time Benjamin must go with
them.
Arriving back in Egypt Joseph arranges for his brothers to have dinner at his palace.
Somewhat shocked, and given past performance, Joseph's brothers try and give the
money back for the last lot of grain and some gifts from Canaan, only to be told that as far as Egypt is
concerned the money is in the treasury and nothing is outstanding. They also release Simeon from prison, which is nice.
Joseph asks after his father and greets his full brother. but has to leave the room to avoid showing his emotions.
Joseph arranges a meal for his family and arranges them,
apparently by accident, in age order and Benjamin seems to need fattening up as
he gets loads more food than the others
