Gen 43

Question	Answer	Note---10-02-2016
		43:1 Note had the corn not run out, the brothers would not have returned to Egypt.
		43:6 Why did you tell the man you have another brother was Jacob’s objection.
If the famine was so great, where now were they getting the list of things that Jacob was telling his sons to carry?		43:11
		43:14 Maybe the fact that Jacob comes to this place in his mind, that he may lose Benjamin, but must yield to the request of this strange man, may be a fulfillment of the dream that Joseph had.
	New Living Translation They were told they would be eating there, so they prepared their gifts for Joseph's arrival at noon.	43:25 against=until
		43:26 fulfilment of the dream
When did this practice of eating separately begin? When was it established that Hebrews were an abomination unto Egyptians?	It seems that this was the custom of Joseph, and this was not something new that was put in place as a result of the brother’s presence. It seems that Joseph practiced his religion, while he was in Egypt and did not adopt the customs of the Egyptians.	45:32
		45:33 the test continues. Joseph gives to Benjamin the youngest the most, and no quarrel is heard. Joseph should be by now convinced that his brother’s have had a change of heart.
