In this episode, the author zooms into the relationship between Joseph and his brothers, which, I believe, is the authors statement on the relationship between God and Israel while in exile. Though misunderstood to be a harsh and vindictive king, Joseph acts kindly and mercifully to his guilty brothers and leads them ultimately to a land of blessing, not unlike the initial promise to Abraham. Is Joseph the fulfillment of the Abrahamic promise in the previous episodes? Or is there still someone to come?
