Treasury of Scripture Take also your brother, and arise, go again to the man: Jump to Previous Arise Once Rise TurnJump to Next Arise Once Rise TurnGenesis 43 1. Jacob is persuaded to send Benjamin.15. Joseph entertains his brothers. 19. They discover their fears to the steward. 26. Joseph makes them a feast. Take your brother also This phrase is a directive from Jacob to his sons, specifically regarding Benjamin. The Hebrew root for "take" is "לָקַח" (laqach), which implies a sense of seizing or bringing along with intention. In the context of the narrative, this is a significant moment of trust and surrender for Jacob. Historically, Benjamin was the youngest and most beloved son after Joseph, whom Jacob believed to be dead. The decision to send Benjamin to Egypt reflects Jacob's desperation and faith, as he entrusts his beloved son to the care of his other sons and ultimately to God's providence. This act of faith is a powerful reminder of the need to trust God with our most precious concerns, even when circumstances seem dire. and return to the man at once Parallel Commentaries ...
