Joseph’s Brothers Return to Egypt: 10 Brothers Go Shopping Again
$10.00
10 Brothers Go Shopping Again
The famine in Canaan still wasn’t over, and Jacob’s family had used up the grain they brought back from Egypt. With food running low, Jacob sent his sons back to Egypt to buy more. This map follows their journey from their home near Hebron to Egypt’s Nile River Delta, where Joseph was in charge of the grain supply.
Description
Back to Egypt for More Food
Joseph’s brothers had already made one difficult journey to Egypt to buy grain during the famine. Now the food they brought home was gone, and Jacob knew they needed to make the trip again. Genesis 43 begins with Jacob telling his sons to return to Egypt and buy more food.
The map shows the route between Jacob’s family camp near Hebron and the Nile River Delta in Egypt. The brothers could travel by a coastal route along the Mediterranean or take a more southerly desert route. The map shows both possible routes across the landscape.
The journey covered about 200 miles (360 km), taking the brothers from the dry regions around Canaan through the wilderness toward Egypt. Their destination was the Nile River Delta, where the city of Avaris is identified on the map as a possible location connected with the story.
This trip is especially important because the brothers were returning to Egypt without realizing how much their lives were about to change. Joseph, the brother they had sold years earlier, was now overseeing Egypt’s food supply. Their return would eventually lead to Joseph revealing his identity and the family being reunited.
