Catholic Bible Daily Reflections Podcast Episode 21 | Genesis 44 - 45 | Joseph Revealed

Welcome to Episode 21 of the Catholic Bible Daily Reflections Podcast (Daily Reflection #21). Today we are discussing Genesis chapters 44-45 of the NRSV version of the Catholic Bible and reflecting on these chapters from a today perspective. We see in these chapters that the brothers appear repentant to Joseph, but he devises one last test. Joseph sends all the brothers home, but instructs his servants to put his silver cup into Benjamin’s sack. After the brothers leave, his servant overtakes them and accuses them of theft, and they head back to Egypt. The cup was found in Benjamin’s sack so Jacob pleads to take Benjamin’s place as slave to Joseph. Joseph finally reveals himself to his brothers, describes God’s plan and the continuing famine, and directs them to return to Egypt to live and survive the famine. Jacob learns Joseph is alive and we leave off in the chapter with all the family about to begin their journey and new life in Egypt. I hope you enjoy today’s discussion ❤️
