Nine Return Home – A Very Unhappy Circumstance

NINE BROTHERS RETURN HOME

It appears that they had been silent about the money discovery at the resting-place, as their father might have blamed them for not instantly returning.

However innocent they knew themselves to be, it was universally felt to be an unhappy circumstance, which might bring them into new and greater perils.

Genesis 42:29-38 KJV

[29] And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,

[30] The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.

[31] And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:

[32] We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.

[33] And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:

[34] And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.

[35] And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man’s bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.

[36] And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.

[37] And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.

[38] And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
