Another great addition to one of my favorite Bible stories. You do a wonderful job on these stories and then fully explain them in your notes. Well done Roxie. Nancy

Interesting to see how Joseph turns the tables in this abbreviated version of the Bible story. I'm impressed with your rhyming, Rox. Very nice write!

Hugs, Bev

'Jacob says, "In Egypt they have wheat to sell,Take the wagons, please don't fail."' this doesn't fit in with the poem
If we don't return he will die!""Then do this to prove (you're not spies.) in my opinion (you're not a spy) sounds better
Thank you for sharing

I'd forgotten that they'd left Simeon and not gone back for him. Poor Jacob thinks he's lost another son.

Fine rhyming couplets and good use of enjambment to keep the lines flowing smoothly.

    Yes poor Simeon, in jail for months. ={ But I'm sure he was well treated, maybe. Thank you. Rox

Oops! I got it backwards. Sorry. Another wonderful message and sermon. You took me back in time in a different way from the scriptures. I like that. Thank you

A good retelling of Joseph's story, in rhyme. Good rhyme and meter, and you stuck to the true order of events, which is very important.

But found their money was in each mans (man's) sack.

This is a clever poem and very accurate concerning the Biblical details involving Jacob's twelve sons. The story of Joseph is a well-known one and one of my personal favorites. The rhyme scheme works well and the imagery is vivid.

The story of Joseph from Genesis: 42 is retold interestingly, truth ultimately is on verge of test, a state of recognition appears and proof surmounts, nice taletelling, smooth progression, interesting, inspirational. 28/304
