14 - The Brothers Return

Genesis 43:1-44:34

The family drama builds towards a climax, as the continuing famine forces the brothers to return to Egypt, this time with young Benjamin.  Joseph's joy at seeing his brother brings overwhelming emotion.  He asks after their father.  As he uses similar trickery as before, this time to keep Benjamin with him, Judah steps up to start telling the truth about the family, which in turn will start the process of reconciliaton.

Joseph's brothers return
Have you found that truth telling can lead to reconciliation?
