Genesis 45

Joseph reveals himself! The Egyptians are happy for Joseph. They obviously like and respect this man. The brothers are stunned and denial comes big time. Joseph keeps on talking. He has obviously planned what he was going to say when he revealed himself. He already knew where they would live. He knew he would get them all to move to Egypt.

Verse 12 jumps out at me. Something they see with their eyes something about his mouth should be recognizable to them. Is his mouth like Benjamin's in some way. This is not a metaphorical mouth. He speaks of seeing it, not ears hearing it. Details like that I find fascinating.
