Lesson_73_Silver_Cup

The brothers finally return to Egypt, and this time, they brought Benjamin. Joseph hosts a massive feast,

intentionally seating the 11 brothers in exact birth order (which terrifies them) and giving Benjamin five times

as much food as anyone else. Why? He is testing them. Will they get violently jealous of Benjamin, just like

they did to Joseph 22 years earlier? But the ultimate test comes the next morning. Joseph secretly hides his

personal silver cup in Benjamin's grain sack and sends his guards to 'arrest' the thief. Will the brothers

abandon Rachel's youngest son to save their own skin? In one of the most beautiful speeches in the Bible,

Judah steps forward and offers to take Benjamin's place as a slave so the boy can go home to his father. The

brothers have officially changed! Today, we explore probability, planted evidence, and the profound theology

of substitution.
