Genesis 42 --- The famine affects Israel and his sons in Canaan, and so they travel to Egypt to buy food.

Read Genesis 42

- V3-4, do you think Benjamin was being protected because Israel had a suspicion about what really happened to Joseph?...or because his brothers became jealous of Benjamin too?...or simply because he was the only remaining son of Rachel?

- V7, why do you think Joseph didn’t reveal who he was to his brothers?

- V8, why do you think they didn’t recognise him?

- V23, if Joseph was speaking in a different language, does this help us understand how the brothers didn’t recognise him?

- V24, Why do you think Simeon was taken?

- V37, do you think this was a reasonable or rash thing for Reuben to say?
