  • GiGi again on Genesis 42 - 2 years ago

    I think it is interesting that the brothers foresaw some negative result of the accusation of being spies. They then blamed their misfortune on their sin against Joseph such a long time ago. They all held this sin in common. Although Rueben mentions that he tried to stop what the brothers intended sin. He probably thought that he could have done more to help Joseph and he probably could have done something more, but didn't. So here we have sins of commission and sin of omission.

    Again, when Jacob heard the account of what had happened, he thought that God was bringing tis on him for some wrongdoing.

    Jacob did not want to send Benjamin to Egypt and he was vexed of heart that Simeon was left behind. He did not want to lose more of his family.

    I wonder if Joseph had sent just enough corn to get them by for a short time so tat they will be compelled to return for more.
