Genesis 44:1-34 (45:1-28) Joseph’s brothers are tested by Joseph (again) as they attempt to return to their father, but Judah appeals to him on behalf of his brother, Benjamin, out of concern for his father.
Gen. 44:1-17 Joseph’s brothers attempt to return to their father with food, but Joseph tests them regarding their youngest brother, Benjamin.
Gen. 44:18-34 Joseph is willing to only keep Benjamin and let the other brothers return to their father, but Judah asks to take his place out of concern for his father.
Will we see how significant unity (selfless concern, love, and peace) is for God’s people, and how influential our conduct can be to its condition?
Will we acknowledge our responsibility for past conduct, and for presently pursuing humility (selfless honesty, respect, and sacrifice)?
