In today passage, an unexpected reunion occurs. Joseph is surprised to see his brothers in Egypt asking for grain. Years after being sold into slavery and enduring Egyptian imprisonment, Joseph sees his brothers. How does Jospeh respond? Have they changed? Do they still feel the same way about their brother? Before revealing himself to his brothers, Joseph conducts a series of tests to see if change has occurred, or if these are the same old brothers.
