DAY 44 OF 50

GENESIS 44

THE SILVER CUP FOUND IN BENJAMIN’S BAG

Joseph asks a servant to put more money in each of his brothers’ bags and to also put a silver cup in Benjamin’s bag.

Once the brothers start traveling back to Canaan, Joseph sends his men after them to accuse them of stealing. They search the bags, one by one, starting with the oldest and ending with Benjamin, where they find the silver cup. Joseph creates a stressful and suspenseful situation for his brothers.

They all go back to Egypt and stand before Joseph. Judah, who promised to protect Benjamin, stands up for him and begs Joseph to spare him. Judah, the one who originally wanted to sell his younger brother Joseph into slavery, now stands before Joseph and asks for mercy for his youngest brother, Benjamin.
