Welcome to part forty three in this series of videos in which I take the advice of all of those Christian fundamentalists and read my bible - literally
You see if you are going to believe in the literal "truth" of the bible and take it literally then literally is the only way that you can read it.
In this episode Jacob, or should that be Israel, once again sends his boys down to Egypt to get more food but there is a problem. The man they dealt with last time refuses to deal with them unless they bring their younger brother with them.
The big problem is that Israel won't let them take him.
Yet after some discussion he relents and they go on their way and when they get there they are invited back to the man's house for lunch.
Well if you have ever seen a movie about drug lords and mobsters you know that you are in a lot of trouble if the boss wants to see you and it just so happened that the last time they brought a shipment back from Egypt they also ended up bringing back the payment too.
Considering that the last time they met him he accused them of being spies and took one of them hostage, how will their meeting with the head of the Egyptian corn syndicate go this time and will the gift they brought as a sweetener be enough, what will happen to young Benjamin and what will the lord have to say about it?
