Genesis 43:26-28
Genesis 43:26-34: Joseph Entertains His Brothers In this passage, Joseph’s brothers meet him in his house and present their gifts. They bow before him, showing great respect, and Joseph asks about their father. He is especially moved when he sees Benjamin, his younger brother. Joseph treats all his brothers kindly—he controls his emotions, arranges a special meal for them, and gives Benjamin extra food. This scene shows the fulfillment of Joseph’s dreams and highlights both Joseph’s kindness and the brothers’ humility.v. 26-28: When Joseph comes home, his brothers give him their present and bow down to the ground. Joseph asks about their welfare and especially about their father, wanting to know if he is still alive. The brothers reply that their father is well, and they bow down again (v. 26-28 a). This double bowing fulfills Joseph’s earlier dreams (Genesis 37:10 b). – –
