  • Substitution; the clean takes the place of the guilty – Genesis 44-45 : What is the climax of the end of the book of Genesis? We could immediately think of the reconciliation between Joseph and his slaveholder brothers. Indeed, but this moving and beneficial moment would never have taken place if Judah had not offered himself as a slave in place of his brother Benjamin caught in the act of theft. It is the first human substitution that God tells us about in the Scriptures. It announces a perfect substitution of someone from the line of Judah, Jesus who eternally frees from the bondage of sin.

    Summary: In Genesis chapter 44, the narrative continues with Joseph and his brothers, who are in Egypt during a time of famine. Joseph, still concealing his identity from them, devises a test to gauge his brothers' character and to see if they have changed since selling him into slavery. He orders his steward to secretly place his silver cup in Benjamin's bag before sending the brothers on their way. When the cup is found, the brothers are distraught and return to Joseph, fearing for Benjamin's life. The chapter explores themes of accountability and the effects of guilt, as the brothers express remorse for their past actions against Joseph. Judah steps forward to plead for Benjamin, demonstrating a significant change in character and a willingness to sacrifice himself for his brother. This chapter underscores the importance of repentance and the possibility of redemption, highlighting God's sovereignty in using difficult circumstances to bring about transformation and reconciliation among the brothers.
