Please Explain for me Joseph's Love for His Brother Benjamin
« on: January 22, 2014, 12:45:02 pm »
I'm sure it's something totally 'Rated G,' but please explain how one's bowels do yearn for one's long-lost brother  ???

Thank You  :thumbsup:

Quote from: Jehovah's Witnesses' WATCHTOWER
On seeing his full brother Benjamin, Joseph was so aroused emotionally that he left their presence and gave way to tears. After that he was able to control his feelings and had the noon meal served.

I guess it's just another way of saying 'his feelings were showing.'

Sound right?

There was more than 1 instance where it says Joseph was moved to tears.

Benjamin was the only other child of Rachael (Joseph's mother),and  (not coincidentally) the only of his brothers not conspiring to kill/sell him into slavery.So it's not surprising he felt more for him than any of his other brothers.

Google JediJohnnie and May the Force be with you!
