Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Character Studies From The Bible

Joseph

New International Version (NIV)

19 So they went up to Joseph’s steward and spoke to him at the entrance to the house. 20 “We beg your pardon, our lord,” they said, “we came down here the first time to buy food. 21 But at the place where we stopped for the night we opened our sacks and each of us found his silver—the exact weight—in the mouth of his sack. So we have brought it back with us. 22 We have also brought additional silver with us to buy food. We don’t know who put our silver in our sacks.”

23 “It’s all right,” he said. “Don’t be afraid. Your God, the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; I received your silver.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.

24 The steward took the men into Joseph’s house, gave them water to wash their feet and provided fodder for their donkeys. 25 They prepared their gifts for Joseph’s arrival at noon, because they had heard that they were to eat there.

26 When Joseph came home, they presented to him the gifts they had brought into the house, and they bowed down before him to the ground. 27 He asked them how they were, and then he said, “How is your aged father you told me about? Is he still living?”

28 They replied, “Your servant our father is still alive and well.” And they bowed down, prostrating themselves before him.

29 As he looked about and saw his brother Benjamin, his own mother’s son, he asked, “Is this your youngest brother, the one you told me about?” And he said, “God be gracious to you, my son.” 30 Deeply moved at the sight of his brother, Joseph hurried out and looked for a place to weep. He went into his private room and wept there.

31 After he had washed his face, he came out and, controlling himself, said, “Serve the food.”

32 They served him by himself, the brothers by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because Egyptians could not eat with Hebrews, for that is detestable to Egyptians. 33 The men had been seated before him in the order of their ages, from the firstborn to the youngest; and they looked at each other in astonishment. 34 When portions were served to them from Joseph’s table, Benjamin’s portion was five times as much as anyone else’s. So they feasted and drank freely with him.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Joseph's Brothers are really afraid of him, just as Joseph's irritating dream had said they would be, nearly 25 years earlier. But Joseph reassures them that the money in their sacks was a gift from THEIR God, the God of their Fathers. Considering the many gods and goddesses of Egypt, this was a remarkable statement. But the Brothers were so fearful, they didn't get the hint!

Joseph recognizes Benjamin, who by now is a young man, and not a child as represented in most artwork.

In spite of his once youthful arrogance, Joseph really did love his brothers, and at this point, he can barely keep his composure as he seeks a private place to weep. The emotions represented in this Passage are very powerful and very human, and demonstrate the incredible sensitivity and beauty of God's Word. This is no mere epic poem or heroic saga. This is the very Heart of the Creator speaking to us.

Come and pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.
