Day 45 - Genesis : Chapter 45

Today is the commemoration of our previous Bava thirumeni, Moran Mar Baselios Marthoma Mathews II. From the time I became aware of Orthodox Church, he was the Bava. He passed away a couple of years back. Angel Bava

Genesis 45 : Joseph reveals himself

Joseph is no longer able to hold his emotions. He sends his servants away, cries out loud and hugs his brothers. He tells them that he is Joseph whom they had sold to traders. They are terrified but he assures them that everything happened as per God's plan. He has been sent to Egypt by God ahead of time to be in a position to provide for his people.

In the meantime, servants hear Joseph's sobs and come to know that the Hebrews are Joseph's brothers. They inform the king. The king is very pleased to hear this. He tells Joseph that they can have the best land in Egypt and live there.

Joseph gives wagons and gifts to his brothers so that they can go back and bring their father and rest of the family to live in Egypt.

They return and tell the story to Jacob. He is very surprised and happy. He thanks God for the good fortune.
