‏ Genesis 43:15

Genesis 43:15-25: Joseph Entertains His Brethren

In this passage, Joseph’s brothers return to Egypt, bringing Benjamin, gifts, and double money as their father Jacob instructed. When Joseph sees Benjamin, he tells his steward to prepare a meal for them at his house. The brothers are afraid when they are invited to Joseph’s house, thinking it is because of the money found in their sacks. However, Joseph’s steward reassures them and treats them kindly. This story shows how guilt can make us fearful, but honesty and God’s providence can bring peace and kindness from others.

v. 15: The brothers take their gifts, double money, and Benjamin, and travel to Egypt. They go to stand before Joseph (v. 15 a).
