14. Genesis 43:1-44:34 The Brothers Return

So the brothers return to Egypt to ask for more food and to acquire their brother, Simeon. Joseph is moved to tears at the sight of Benjamin, the other son of his mother, Rachel. The knowledge that his father is still living is overwhelming. He wants to keep Benjamin for himself and bless him.

They unknowingly beg their younger brother for mercy. What a position Joseph has been placed in... What are your thoughts on this passage?
