By interpreting Pharaoh’s own dreams, Yosef not only came out of his imprisonment,
But he became the de facto ruler of Egypt, the second person after Pharaoh.
Yosef married and had sons, but he never strayed from G-d’s teachings,
He kept the commandments, missed his father and brothers, remembered his home.
The sons of Yaakov, because of the famine, went to Egypt to buy food,
They did not recognise their brother in the king, but Yosef recognised them at once.
Declaring the brothers to be spies, he left Shimon as a hostage while the others,
went after his brother Binyamin, with G-d’s help, Yosef calculated everything.
Yehuda convinced Yaakov to release Binyamin on his own recognisance,
Satisfied, Yosef released Shimon and gave the brothers a farewell feast.
Putting Binyamin in the cup and ‘making’ him guilty by detaining him accordingly,
As punishment, making his younger brother his slave, Binyamin fell into a trap.
