JUDAH'S SUPPLICATION TO JOSEPH
(Fourth Reader, page 51)
INTRODUCTION
Review briefly the Scriptural account of Joseph's life, and particularly the story of the visits of his brethren to Egypt to buy corn. Note especially the following points:
1. The famine in the land of Canaan; the first visit of Joseph's brothers to Egypt; their interview with Joseph; the detention of Simeon; Joseph's demand that Benjamin be brought down.
2. The return to Canaan; Jacob's refusal to let Benjamin go down into Egypt; Judah's becoming surety for his safe return.
