Notes

Genesis 42:25–28

Joseph cared for his brothers' needs. He forgave them and provided for them (see study note on 42:24). God used Joseph's care to make the brothers more aware of their sin.

Genesis 42:1–44:34

Joseph did several unusual things to his brothers when they came looking for grain. The last time Joseph had been with them, they were filled with jealousy, hatred, and anger; they attempted to destroy their brother, and they deceived their father. Joseph put them through various tests, similar to the trying situations they had put him through, to see if they had changed.
