Study 34 of
"Search The Scriptures” Is:
Genesis 42
1. What was the motive of Joseph’s apparent
harshness towards his brethren? For his real feelings see verses 24, 25. Have we here an illustration of the methods
which God also uses? Cf. Heb.12:6, 11; Je. 31:18, 19.
2. What brought the brothers to the
recognition of their guilt? See verse 21.
3. How mistaken was the attitude of Jacob in
verse 36! What may we learn from this about our own attitude when everything
seems against us? Cf. Ps. 43:5; Phil.4:6-7.
