In this weeks reading from Parashat Vayigash (Bereshit \/ Genesis 44:18-47:27<\/em>) the sons of Israel return to Egypt with the cup of Joseph.\u00a0 They explain that they must bring their brother back or their father will die.

(NASB)<\/em>\u00a0 Joseph asks Israel and his brothers to move to the land of Goshen to live because the famine was will continue for another five years (45:9-15<\/em>).\u00a0 Pharaoh ordered that his family come and he gave them the best of the land (45:9-24<\/em>).\u00a0 On hearing that his son lives, Jacob makes an offering to the Lord God Almighty and travels to Egypt (45:28-46:26<\/em>).\u00a0 We learn Jacob is 130 years old (47:9<\/em>) and the people were settled in Goshen (47:11-13<\/em>).\u00a0 The famine grew severe and the people gave all their money to obtain food (47:14-15<\/em>).\u00a0 The people then brought their livestock and cattle to pay for the food (47:16-17<\/em>).\u00a0 After this the people sold their land and themselves into slavery to buy grain for food to survive (47:18-21<\/em>).\u00a0 In the opening verse from this week\u2019s reading we learn that Joseph\u2019s brothers say \u201cJoseph is dead\u201d (44:18-20<\/em>).<\/p>\n
