Joseph tests his brothers with an elaborate setup involving his silver cup placed in Benjamin's sack, creating a situation where their loyalty to family is challenged. This pivotal moment reveals the transformation in their hearts as they face a choice between self-preservation and protecting their brother.
• Joseph instructs his steward to plant his valuable silver cup in Benjamin's sack while filling all their sacks with grain
• When accused of theft, the brothers confidently deny wrongdoing and make a rash vow that whoever has the cup should die
• The discovery of the cup in Benjamin's sack leads to a critical moment where all brothers return to the city instead of abandoning him
• Judah delivers an impassioned plea to Joseph, recounting their father's health depends on Benjamin's return
• In a dramatic reversal of his past betrayal of Joseph, Judah offers himself as a substitute slave in place of Benjamin
• The brothers' actions demonstrate significant character transformation from their earlier betrayal of Joseph 21 years before
