This week’s parsha begins with Joseph at his lowest point, chained and forgotten in prison. But when Pharaoh is disturbed by two dreams, his butler remembers Joseph is an interpreter and may be able to help explain them. Joseph tells Pharaoh that the dreams contain a prophecy that there will be 7 good years in Egypt, followed by 7 years of drought and famine, but he also tells Pharaoh he has a solution to the problem \u2013 storehouses during the good years to help them survive the bad years. Pharaoh is impressed, and appoints Joseph to be his Prime Minister. Only Pharaoh himself is now more powerful than Joseph.<\/p>\n

The famine affects Canaan too, and Joseph\u2019s family struggle, until Jacob sends the ten elder brothers to Egypt to buy sackfuls of food. (Egypt is the only place with extra supplies because of Joseph’s plan!) The brothers come before Joseph, but do not recognise him as their brother, because he has now grown up, and is dressed and speaking like an Egyptian. Joseph, however, recognises them immediately.<\/p>\n

Without revealing who he is, Joseph creates a situation for the brothers that is designed to test them. He tells them to come back with their youngest brother, Benjamin, and then he accuses Benjamin of stealing from him. The test is this: will they abandon another brother like they abandoned Joseph, or have they learned to be better brothers? We will have to wait until next week’s parsha to find out!<\/p>\n
