Notes

Genesis 43:19–22

The brothers, completely vulnerable and feeling the weight of God’s judgment on their consciences, approached the manager in desperation.

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.
