Genesis 42 is a chapter in which the overwhelming theme is that of death. It begins and ends with it, and features a significant death threat in the middle. In fact, the last word of the chapter is “Sheol.” We have a distinct sense of overwhelming despair in the face of great famine, treachery, and loss. Joseph, now second in command of the most powerful empire on earth has treated his brothers with kindness, and at the same time subjected them to a shrewd test. Would they pass? More importantly for Jacob, who now believes two of his sons to be dead, is there any hope for life? This is not just Jacob’s question, it is ours as well.
