The Game Plan. I will be reading through the Bible through this year of 2011; little by little, chapter by chapter. I have always wanted to do this but have never committed to do so. This is me making a commitment.

Genesis 43-45

Genesis 43
Jacob sends his sons with double money to buy more food and bring back Benjamin and the brother who stayed in Egypt.
Joseph invited his brothers to lunch in his home and sat them in birth order.

Genesis 44
Joseph tells his servant to fill his brothers sacks with food and the money they brought to pay for the food and to put his silver cup in Benjamin's sack.
The brothers leave and Joseph brings them back accusing them of stealing.
For stealing, he demands Benjamin as a slave.
The brothers plead with Joseph to take someone else because their father will die if he loses another son.

Genesis 45
Joseph reveals who he is to his brothers and tells them to bring their father to Egypt because there are five years of famine left.
Jacob doesn't believe that Joseph is alive but is convinced by what he sent with his brothers.
Jacob leaves to see Joseph before he dies.
