Glancing Through the Scriptures

 (KJV.)  GENESIS 43:32-34

The second trip to Egypt

(32)  And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him by themselves:  because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews;  for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.

(33)  And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth:  and the men marveled one at another.

(34)  And he took and sent messes unto them from before him:  but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs.  And they drank;, and were merry with him.

CHAPTER 44:1-4

The Missing Silver Cup:

(1)  AND HE commanded the steward of his house saying;  Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth.

(2)  And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money.  And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

(3)  As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.

(4)  And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward,  Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them,  Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?

ADDENDUM

Why did Joseph give his brothers less food than Benjamin?
