00:00:06.038 when his brothers were ready to leave. 00:00:06.398 --> 00:00:11.348 Joseph gave these instructions to his palace manager, fill each of their sacks 00:00:11.348 --> 00:00:15.578 with as much grain as they can carry, and put each man's money back into his sack. 00:00:16.328 --> 00:00:20.738 Then put my personal silver cup at the top of the youngest brother sack, 00:00:21.098 --> 00:00:22.628 along with the money for his grain. 00:00:23.318 --> 00:00:25.478 So the manager did is Joseph instructed him. 00:00:26.678 --> 00:00:30.548 The brothers were up at dawn and were sent on their journey with their loaded 00:00:30.548 --> 00:00:34.688 donkeys, but when they had gone only a short distance and were barely out 00:00:34.688 --> 00:00:39.608 of the city, Joseph said to his palace manager, chase after them and stop them. 00:00:40.268 --> 00:00:43.358 When you catch up with them, ask them, why have you repaid 00:00:43.363 --> 00:00:45.038 my kindness with such evil? 00:00:45.548 --> 00:00:50.048 Why have you stolen my Master silver cup, which he uses to predict the future? 00:00:50.558 --> 00:00:52.398 What a wicked thing you have done. 00:00:53.693 --> 00:00:56.903 When the palace manager caught up with the men, he spoke to 00:00:56.903 --> 00:00:58.313 them as he had been instructed. 00:00:59.063 --> 00:01:00.323 What are you talking about? 00:01:00.653 --> 00:01:01.733 The brothers responded. 00:01:02.393 --> 00:01:05.093 We are your servants, and would never do such a thing. 00:01:05.603 --> 00:01:08.483 Didn't we return the money we found in our sacks? 00:01:08.993 --> 00:01:11.933 We brought it back all the way from the land of Canaan. 00:01:12.413 --> 00:01:15.833 Why would we steal silver or gold from your master's house? 00:01:16.523 --> 00:01:21.983 If you find his cup with any one of us, let that man die and all the rest 00:01:21.983 --> 00:01:24.953 of us, my Lord will be your slaves. 00:01:26.003 --> 00:01:26.663 That's fair. 00:01:26.663 --> 00:01:31.223 The man replied, but only the one who stole the cup will be my slave. 00:01:31.733 --> 00:01:33.233 The rest of you may go free. 00:01:34.253 --> 00:01:38.153 They all quickly took their sacks from the backs of their donkeys and open them. 00:01:38.918 --> 00:01:43.238 The palace manager searched the brothers sacks from the oldest to the youngest, 00:01:43.688 --> 00:01:46.148 and the cup was found in Benjamin Sack. 00:01:46.808 --> 00:01:50.708 When the brothers saw this, they tore their clothing in despair. 00:01:51.338 --> 00:01:54.338 Then they loaded their donkeys again and returned to the city. 00:01:55.418 --> 00:01:59.318 Joseph was still in his palace when Judah and his brothers arrived and 00:01:59.318 --> 00:02:01.088 they fell to the ground before him. 00:02:01.928 --> 00:02:03.038 What have you done? 00:02:03.458 --> 00:02:07.958 Joseph demanded, don't you know that a man like me can predict the future? 00:02:08.663 --> 00:02:09.503 Judah answered. 00:02:09.833 --> 00:02:10.883 Oh my Lord. 00:02:10.883 --> 00:02:12.113 What can we say to you? 00:02:12.473 --> 00:02:14.183 How can we explain this? 00:02:14.543 --> 00:02:16.343 How can we prove our innocence? 00:02:16.943 --> 00:02:19.103 God is punishing us for our sins. 00:02:19.703 --> 00:02:22.223 My Lord, we have all returned to be your slaves. 00:02:22.433 --> 00:02:23.273 All of us. 00:02:23.543 --> 00:02:25.943 Not just our brother who had your cup and his sack. 00:02:26.903 --> 00:02:27.503 No. 00:02:27.683 --> 00:02:30.413 Joseph said I would never do such a thing. 00:02:30.893 --> 00:02:33.863 Only the man who stole the cup will be my slave. 00:02:34.343 --> 00:02:37.133 The rest of you may go back to your father in peace. 00:02:38.108 --> 00:02:42.098 Then Judah stepped forward and said, please, my Lord, let your 00:02:42.098 --> 00:02:43.958 servant say just one word to you. 00:02:44.438 --> 00:02:47.288 Please do not be angry with me, even though you are as 00:02:47.288 --> 00:02:49.178 powerful as Pharaoh himself. 00:02:50.078 --> 00:02:50.678 My Lord. 00:02:51.038 --> 00:02:53.588 Previously you asked us your servants. 00:02:54.158 --> 00:02:56.228 Do you have a father or a brother? 00:02:56.648 --> 00:02:59.018 And we responded, yes, my Lord. 00:02:59.018 --> 00:03:03.728 We have a father who is an old man and his youngest son is a child of his old age. 00:03:04.148 --> 00:03:08.438 His full brother is dead and he alone is left of his mother's children. 00:03:08.828 --> 00:03:11.438 And his father loves him very much. 00:03:11.948 --> 00:03:15.788 And you said to us, bring him here so I can see him with my own eyes. 00:03:16.628 --> 00:03:20.798 But we said to you, my Lord, the boy cannot leave his father 00:03:21.098 --> 00:03:22.478 for his father would die. 00:03:23.258 --> 00:03:24.128 But you told us. 00:03:24.398 --> 00:03:28.868 Unless your youngest brother comes with you, you will never see my face again. 00:03:29.663 --> 00:03:33.473 So we returned to your servant, our father, and told him what you 00:03:33.478 --> 00:03:37.943 had said later when he said, go back again and buy us more food. 00:03:38.423 --> 00:03:42.623 We replied, we can't go unless you let our youngest brother go with us. 00:03:43.223 --> 00:03:47.153 We'll never get to see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us. 00:03:48.053 --> 00:03:53.153 Then my father said to us, as you know, my wife had two sons and one 00:03:53.153 --> 00:03:54.803 of them went away and never returned. 00:03:55.748 --> 00:03:56.228 Doubtless. 00:03:56.228 --> 00:03:59.048 He was torn to pieces by some wild animal. 00:03:59.588 --> 00:04:00.908 I have never seen him since. 00:04:01.898 --> 00:04:05.318 Now, if you take his brother away from me and any harm comes to 00:04:05.318 --> 00:04:09.428 him, you will send this grieving white-haired man to his grave. 00:04:09.968 --> 00:04:14.558 I now, my Lord, I cannot go back to my father without the boy. 00:04:15.188 --> 00:04:18.008 Our father's life is bound up in the boy's life. 00:04:18.578 --> 00:04:22.478 If he sees that the boy is not with us, our father will die. 00:04:23.213 --> 00:04:28.043 We, your servants will indeed be responsible for sending that grieving 00:04:28.613 --> 00:04:30.563 white-haired man to his grave. 00:04:31.403 --> 00:04:32.033 My Lord. 00:04:32.273 --> 00:04:35.423 I guaranteed to my father that I would take care of the boy. 00:04:35.873 --> 00:04:40.313 I told him, if I don't bring him back to you, I will bear the blame forever. 00:04:40.943 --> 00:04:46.403 So please, my Lord, let me stay here as a slave instead of the boy and 00:04:46.403 --> 00:04:48.293 let the boy return with his brothers. 00:04:48.998 --> 00:04:51.968 For how can I return to my father if the boy is not with me? 00:04:52.478 --> 00:04:54.158 I couldn't bear to see the anguish. 00:04:54.158 --> 00:04:59.288 This would cause My father, Joseph could stand it no longer. 00:05:00.068 --> 00:05:04.868 There were many people in the room and he said to his attendance out, all of you. 00:05:05.738 --> 00:05:08.738 So he was alone with his brothers when he told them who he was, 00:05:09.668 --> 00:05:11.618 then he broke down and wept. 00:05:12.278 --> 00:05:15.788 He wept so loudly the Egyptians could hear him in word of it. 00:05:15.788 --> 00:05:17.528 Quickly carried the pharaoh's palace. 00:05:18.983 --> 00:05:20.543 I am Joseph. 00:05:20.903 --> 00:05:24.143 He said to his brothers, is my father still alive? 00:05:25.013 --> 00:05:26.693 But his brothers were speechless. 00:05:27.143 --> 00:05:30.923 They were stunned to realize that Joseph was standing there in front of them. 00:05:31.793 --> 00:05:33.053 Please come closer. 00:05:33.143 --> 00:05:33.833 He said to them. 00:05:34.553 --> 00:05:38.693 So they came closer and he said, again, I am Joseph, your brother, 00:05:38.933 --> 00:05:41.123 whom you sold into slavery in Egypt. 00:05:41.978 --> 00:05:46.598 But don't be upset and don't be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. 00:05:47.018 --> 00:05:51.158 It was God who sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives. 00:05:51.758 --> 00:05:56.768 This famine that has ravaged the land for two years will last five more years. 00:05:57.428 --> 00:05:59.708 The there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. 00:06:00.428 --> 00:06:04.628 God has sent me ahead of you to keep you and your families alive 00:06:04.628 --> 00:06:06.338 and to preserve many survivors. 00:06:07.328 --> 00:06:10.508 So it was God who sent me here, not you. 00:06:11.093 --> 00:06:16.073 And he is the one who made me an advisor to Pharaoh, the manager of his entire 00:06:16.073 --> 00:06:19.013 palace, and the governor of all Egypt. 00:06:20.123 --> 00:06:25.763 Now, hurry back to my father and tell him this is what your son Joseph says. 00:06:26.453 --> 00:06:32.723 God has made me master over all the land of Egypt, so come down to me immediately. 00:06:33.443 --> 00:06:37.163 You can live in the region of Goshen, where you can be near me with all 00:06:37.163 --> 00:06:38.843 your children and grandchildren. 00:06:39.263 --> 00:06:45.143 Your flocks and herds and everything you own, I will take care of you there for, 00:06:45.143 --> 00:06:50.363 there are still five years of famine ahead of us, otherwise you, your household 00:06:50.543 --> 00:06:52.343 and all your animals will starve. 00:06:53.393 --> 00:06:58.613 Then Joseph added look, you can see for yourselves and so can my brother Benjamin, 00:06:58.973 --> 00:07:04.823 that I really am Joseph, go tell my father of my honored position here in Egypt. 00:07:05.483 --> 00:07:09.143 Describe for him everything you have seen and then bring my father 00:07:09.143 --> 00:07:12.083 here quickly weeping with joy. 00:07:12.293 --> 00:07:15.263 He embraced Benjamin and Benjamin did the same. 00:07:15.983 --> 00:07:20.243 Then Joseph kissed each of his brothers and wept over them, and after that, 00:07:20.303 --> 00:07:22.133 they began talking freely with him. 00:07:23.273 --> 00:07:25.373 The news soon reached Pharaoh's palace. 00:07:25.793 --> 00:07:27.563 Joseph's brothers have arrived. 00:07:28.313 --> 00:07:31.043 Pharaoh and his officials were all delighted to hear this. 00:07:32.273 --> 00:07:36.413 Pharaoh said to Joseph, tell your brothers this is what you must do. 00:07:37.013 --> 00:07:40.433 Load your pack animals and hurry back to the land of Canaan. 00:07:40.883 --> 00:07:44.783 Then get your father and all of your families and return here to me. 00:07:45.443 --> 00:07:48.863 I will give you the very best land in Egypt, and you will eat from 00:07:48.863 --> 00:07:50.753 the best that the land produces. 00:07:51.503 --> 00:07:55.853 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, tell your brothers, take wagons from the land of 00:07:55.853 --> 00:08:00.473 Egypt to carry your little children and your wives and bring your father here. 00:08:01.133 --> 00:08:03.173 Don't worry about your personal belongings. 00:08:03.563 --> 00:08:06.413 For the best of all, the land of Egypt is yours. 00:08:07.613 --> 00:08:11.483 So the sons of Jacob did, as they were told, Joseph provided them with 00:08:11.483 --> 00:08:15.983 wagons as Pharaoh had commanded, and he gave them supplies for the journey 00:08:16.583 --> 00:08:18.233 and he gave each of them new clothes. 00:08:18.683 --> 00:08:23.513 But to Benjamin, he gave five changes of clothes and 300 pieces of silver. 00:08:24.173 --> 00:08:29.453 He also sent his father 10 male donkeys loaded with the finest products of Egypt. 00:08:29.963 --> 00:08:34.253 And 10 female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other supplies 00:08:34.258 --> 00:08:35.423 he would need on his journey. 00:08:36.263 --> 00:08:40.763 So Joseph sent his brothers off that as they left, he called after them. 00:08:41.303 --> 00:08:46.643 Don't quarrel about all this along the way, and they left Egypt and returned to 00:08:46.643 --> 00:08:49.163 their father Jacob in the land of Canaan. 00:08:50.153 --> 00:08:51.683 Joseph is still alive. 00:08:51.743 --> 00:08:54.923 They told him that he is governor of all the land of Egypt. 00:08:56.003 --> 00:08:57.593 Jacob was stunned at the news. 00:08:57.713 --> 00:08:58.793 He couldn't believe it. 00:08:59.588 --> 00:09:03.068 But when they repeated to Jacob, everything Joseph had told them, and 00:09:03.068 --> 00:09:07.958 when he saw the wagons Joseph had sent to carry him, their father's spirits revived. 00:09:08.708 --> 00:09:10.058 Then Jacob exclaimed. 00:09:10.328 --> 00:09:14.138 It must be true, my son Joseph is alive. 00:09:14.528 --> 00:09:17.498 I must go and see him before I die. 00:09:19.058 --> 00:09:22.688 So Jacob set out for Egypt with all his possessions. 00:09:23.318 --> 00:09:26.678 And when he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the 00:09:26.678 --> 00:09:28.958 God of his father, Isaac. 00:09:29.348 --> 00:09:31.418 During the night, God spoke to him in a vision. 00:09:32.108 --> 00:09:32.828 Jacob. 00:09:33.038 --> 00:09:34.748 Jacob, he called. 00:09:35.378 --> 00:09:40.478 Here I am Jacob, replied, I am God the God of your father. 00:09:40.478 --> 00:09:44.138 The voice said, do not be afraid to go down to Egypt. 00:09:44.588 --> 00:09:47.138 For there I will make your family into a great nation. 00:09:47.918 --> 00:09:51.578 I will go with you down to Egypt and I will bring you back again. 00:09:52.313 --> 00:09:57.293 You will die in Egypt, but Joseph will be with you to close your eyes. 00:09:58.673 --> 00:10:02.183 So Jacob left Beba and his sons took him to Egypt. 00:10:02.813 --> 00:10:06.083 They carried him and their little ones and their wives and the wagons 00:10:06.083 --> 00:10:07.433 Pharaoh had provided for them. 00:10:07.663 --> 00:10:12.143 They also took all their livestock and all the personal belongings they 00:10:12.143 --> 00:10:13.733 had acquired and the land of Canaan. 00:10:15.143 --> 00:10:17.783 So Jacob and his entire family went to Egypt. 00:10:18.368 --> 00:10:19.988 Sons and grandsons. 00:10:20.288 --> 00:10:23.678 Daughters and granddaughters, all his descendants. 00:10:25.478 --> 00:10:27.848 These are the names of the descendants of Israel. 00:10:28.118 --> 00:10:30.368 The sons of Jacob who went to Egypt. 00:10:31.538 --> 00:10:33.848 Ruben was Jacob's oldest son. 00:10:34.298 --> 00:10:38.858 The sons of
