“And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.”
When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house: take these men to my house, slaughter an animal and prepare a meal; they are to eat with me at noon. The sight of Benjamin — the full brother, Rachel's son — moves Joseph to hospitality rather than continued testing. The application: the sight of the one most loved, present and apparently safe, changes the nature of the encounter from test to welcome.
