13 - Ten Brothers Go to Egypt

Genesis 42:1-38

All of Josephs' brother except Benjamin go to Egypt to procure grain.  While there, some of Joseph's original  dream is fulfilled as the brothers bow down to him.  We see some "what goes around comes around" as a result of the brothers selling the brother into slavery.  The brothers begin to think their difficulties are a result of that action toward Joseph.  Joseph has his own desire, to see Benjamin again.  So he holds Simeon, and sends the rest back to return with Benjamin.
