Day 43 - Genesis : Chapter 43

Today is 3rd Sunday after Denaha. In today's reading, John 3 : 1 - 12, Nicodemus approaches Jesus and Jesus says "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God"

Genesis 43 : Jacob's sons go back to Egypt with Benjamin

Since Jacob refused to send his son Benjamin back with other sons to Egypt, the brothers don't go back. Time passes by, the famine become harsh and all the corn that they got from Egypt gets over. Jacob tells his sons to go back to Egypt to get some more corn. They say the Egyptian official will not allow them if they didn't take Benjamin back. Judah says he will take the full responsibility of bringing Benjamin back to Canaan.

The brothers reach Egypt and meets Joseph. He is glad to see Benjamin and is filled with emotion. He asks his servants to prepare a feast for them. The brothers enjoy a good feast with Joseph and are very content.
