Gen. 43:1–34 The ongoing famine eventually forces Jacob to send his sons back to Egypt with Benjamin. When the brothers return, they are unexpectedly invited to dine at Joseph’s house.
Gen. 43:1–10 Judah tries to persuade his father in a different way (see 42:37). First, he repeats what the man said, emphasizing that Joseph will not see them unless their brother is with them (43:3–5). Second, Judah offers himself as a pledge for the safety of Benjamin (v. 9).
Gen. 43:30–31 his compassion grew warm for his brother. Seeing Benjamin for the first time in 20 years, Joseph leaves the room so he can weep.
Gen. 43:32 by himself. Joseph eats apart from his brothers to keep up his disguise since it was an abomination to the Egyptians to eat with these foreigners, the Hebrews.
