Genesis 42 is relevant to an understanding of Trade, Stewardship, and Reconciliation

1 Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?” Genesis 42:1WEB
2 He said, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there, and buy for us from there, so that we may live, and not die.” Genesis 42:2WEB
3 Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt. Genesis 42:3WEB
4 But Jacob didn’t send Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, with his brothers; for he said, “Lest perhaps harm happen to him.” Genesis 42:4WEB
5 The sons of Israel came to buy among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan. Genesis 42:5WEB
6 Joseph was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph’s brothers came, and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the earth. Genesis 42:6WEB
7 Joseph saw his brothers, and he recognized them, but acted like a stranger to them, and spoke roughly with them. He said to them, “Where did you come from?” They said, “From the land of Canaan, to buy food.” Genesis 42:7WEB
8 Joseph recognized his brothers, but they didn’t recognize him. Genesis 42:8WEB
9 Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land.” Genesis 42:9WEB
10 They said to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food. Genesis 42:10WEB
11 We are all one man’s sons; we are honest men. Your servants are not spies.” Genesis 42:11WEB
12 He said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land!” Genesis 42:12WEB
13 They said, “We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is today with our father, and one is no more.” Genesis 42:13WEB
14 Joseph said to them, “It is like I told you, saying, ‘You are spies!’ Genesis 42:14WEB
15 By this you shall be tested. By the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go out from here, unless your youngest brother comes here. Genesis 42:15WEB
16 Send one of you, and let him get your brother, and you shall be bound, that your words may be tested, whether there is truth in you, or else by the life of Pharaoh surely you are spies.” Genesis 42:16WEB
17 He put them all together into custody for three days. Genesis 42:17WEB
18 Joseph said to them the third day, “Do this, and live, for I fear God. Genesis 42:18WEB
19 If you are honest men, then let one of your brothers be bound in your prison; but you go, carry grain for the famine of your houses. Genesis 42:19WEB
20 Bring your youngest brother to me; so will your words be verified, and you won’t die.” They did so. Genesis 42:20WEB
21 They said to one another, “We are certainly guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us, and we wouldn’t listen. Therefore this distress has come upon us.” Genesis 42:21WEB
22 Reuben answered them, saying, “Didn’t I tell you, saying, ‘Don’t sin against the child,’ and you wouldn’t listen? Therefore also, behold, his blood is required.” Genesis 42:22WEB
23 They didn’t know that Joseph understood them; for there was an interpreter between them. Genesis 42:23WEB
24 He turned himself away from them, and wept. Then he returned to them, and spoke to them, and took Simeon from among them, and bound him before their eyes. Genesis 42:24WEB
25 Then Joseph gave a command to fill their bags with grain, and to restore each man’s money into his sack, and to give them food for the way. So it was done to them. Genesis 42:25WEB
26 They loaded their donkeys with their grain, and departed from there. Genesis 42:26WEB
27 As one of them opened his sack to give his donkey food in the lodging place, he saw his money. Behold, it was in the mouth of his sack. Genesis 42:27WEB
28 He said to his brothers, “My money is restored! Behold, it is in my sack!” Their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?” Genesis 42:28WEB
29 They came to Jacob their father, to the land of Canaan, and told him all that had happened to them, saying, Genesis 42:29WEB
30 “The man, the lord of the land, spoke roughly with us, and took us for spies of the country. Genesis 42:30WEB
31 We said to him, ‘We are honest men. We are no spies. Genesis 42:31WEB
32 We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is today with our father in the land of Canaan.’ Genesis 42:32WEB
33 The man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your houses, and go your way. Genesis 42:33WEB
34 Bring your youngest brother to me. Then I will know that you are not spies, but that you are honest men. So I will deliver your brother to you, and you shall trade in the land.’” Genesis 42:34WEB
35 As they emptied their sacks, behold, each man’s bundle of money was in his sack. When they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid. Genesis 42:35WEB
36 Jacob, their father, said to them, “You have bereaved me of my children! Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin away. All these things are against me.” Genesis 42:36WEB
37 Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “Kill my two sons, if I don’t bring him to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him to you again.” Genesis 42:37WEB
38 He said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he only is left. If harm happens to him along the way in which you go, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.” Genesis 42:38WEB
