Commentary on Genesis 43:26

Theological / Devotional

When Joseph came home. Joseph may have been busy on some important matter when his brothers arrived, and could not give them his attention just then. Or, more likely, his plans were already well laid, and he did not wish to see them until the time designated. Upon Joseph’s return, they handed him their present with the most reverential obeisance, unwittingly fulfilling the dreams of Joseph that had incited their intense hatred for him.
