📚 Historical Context
In the book of Genesis, during a severe famine, Joseph's brothers traveled to Egypt to buy food, unaware that the powerful governor they were dealing with was actually their long-lost brother whom they had sold into slavery years earlier. When they found money mysteriously returned in their grain sacks from a previous visit, they feared it might lead to trouble, but the steward reassured them that it was a divine gift and released their brother Simeon, who had been held as collateral. This event highlights God's providence in the midst of human uncertainty.
