Today we covered Genesis 42 to 43.
There was famine all over the land. Jacob sent his sons (except Benjamin) to Egypt to buy food.
Joseph recognizes them. They do not recognize him. He accuses them of being spies and puts them in prison. He frees everyone except Simeon and keeps him as collateral. He tells them they must bring their younger sibling when they return to Egypt.
While in jail Joseph's brothers spoke amongst each other and said they were put in jail as a punishment from God for having sold Joseph.
They were still feeling guilty even after twenty years. What does this tell us about sin?
It may possibly make us think twice about our actions. I know I don't want to think about what I do today in twenty years.
