It was time for Joseph's brothers to go home. So, Joseph commanded
his steward to put food along with their money in his brother's
sacks. Joseph also told his steward to put his silver cup in Benjamin's
sack.
After his brothers left, Joseph told his steward to catch them
and accuse them of stealing his cup. His steward caught Joseph's
brothers and found the cup in Benjamin's sack. So, Benjamin had
to be a slave. Then they returned with the steward to see Joseph.
Joseph acted as if he were upset with his brothers. His brothers
thought that God had found out their sin against Joseph (God always
knows everything).
Joseph's brothers were very sorry for what had happened and offered
to be slaves with Benjamin. Joseph told them that they could go
home and that only Benjamin had to be a slave. Joseph's brothers
would not leave Benjamin alone in Egypt.
Judah spoke to Joseph and explained that their father would die
if Benjamin did not return with them. Joseph was very sad because
he did not want his father to die. Then Joseph told them that he
was their brother and cried aloud.
