Commentary
Genesis 43 is a chapter that focuses on the reunion of Joseph and his brothers. After Joseph reveals his identity to his brothers, they are filled with fear and guilt for the way they treated him in the past. Joseph, however, is filled with compassion and mercy, and he reassures them that he harbors no ill will towards them. He even invites them to stay with him in Egypt and provides them with food and provisions.
