The trap is sprung

The carefully laid trap that had looked to have been safe after all, was sprung. Joseph meant to either protect his little brother Benjamin from their half brothers or prove that his half brothers had all grown up. To do it he had to continue to be harsh with all of them. In this portion of scripture we see just how the whole thing unfolded for the brothers that had come down to Egypt just to buy a little food for their families back home.
