June 14, 2010 – Genesis 44

We see that Judah steps up and lays out what he is willing to do. Up until here, there has been talk of what may happen and promises made to offer themselves instead of Ben, but now comes the moment of choice, and Judah steps up. All of Joseph’s test have been laid out and it appears they have passed them. I wonder what the motivation comes from the most. Guilt for what they did to Joseph, Love of Ben, or Love of their father. I would say love of their father and a close second, guilt for Joseph. Once again, like I said last time, the actual person being used by everyone doesn’t seem to be concerning to anyone.
