Genesis 44 and 45 are the climactic point of the Joseph narrative in Genesis 37-50. Everything has been building to this point. From the betrayal to Potipher's to prison to the palace to now the brothers being in Egypt for food again .

Eventually, there is going to be a beautiful reconciliation in Genesis 45, but before that happens, Joseph has one final test for his brothers. It will be Genesis 37 all over again, but the end result will be different this time. One brother, a former scoundrel and sinner, will stand up and take the place of another. We walk through the first part of this beautiful story of reconciliation in this week's episode.
