Genesis 43:17 - 44:34, Repentance and set up for restoration. Divination & witchcraft in the bible?
This week we see Joseph’s strategy to determine the true character and heart of his brothers continue to play out. Judah (Joseph’s 2nd oldest brother) leads the brothers back to Egypt, with Benjamin this time. Joseph then uses one final strategy, with the silver cup, to determine where Judah and the brother’s hearts are truly at.
This week we also look at the question of divination in the bible. This word is used twice in Genesis 44, we discuss what divination is and what God thinks of it.
