Gen 43:16, When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Take these men to my home, and slaughter an animal and make ready; for these men will dine with me at noon.”
Joseph is a type of Jesus! He loves us & wants to eat and have fellowship with each one of us! Remember HE stands at the door knocking on the hearts of men! If they open their hearts He will dine with them! KNOWING GOD IS HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LIVING GOD!
Gen 43:34, Then he took servings to them from before him, BUT BENJAMIN’S SERVING WAS FIVE TIMES AS MUCH AS ANY OF THEIRS…
When Joseph was younger their father favored Joseph, which caused hate in his brothers! Now Joseph shows favoritism to his brother in order to test their reaction to see if truly they had changed & also because he loved him!
Act 7:13, and THE SECOND TIME JOSEPH WAS MADE KNOWN TO HIS BROTHERS, and joseph’s family became known to the pharaoh.
Like Joseph, JESUS was not recognized by HIS brothers (ISRAEL) but the 2nd time HE shall be made known! Zec 12:10, … then they will look on Me whom they PIERCED.. HIS BROTHERS SHALL MOURN, FOR THEY SOLD Joseph but, they PIERCED JESUS ON THE CROSS OF CALVARY!
