What is יהודה hinting to “You asked about our father
& brother”? (רש"י)
From the beginning you tried to
make trouble: Why did you begin asking us such personal questions? But we
answered you anyway.
(א)
What did יוסף
command should be put in the brothers’ bags?
As much food as they could carry, and their money
(יב) How did he search for the cup? Why? (רש"י)
From oldest to youngest. So they
wouldn’t realize that he knew where it was.
(כ)
Why does יהודה say that his brother died? (רש"י)
He was afraid that יוסף would tell יהודה to bring him.
(ב)
What should be done with בנימין’s bag?
Put יוסף’s
silver cup by the opening of his bag.
(לג)
How did יהודה try to convince יוסף
that he should replace בנימין?
I am better than him in every
way: strength, battle, and serving
(טו)
What does יוסף say to them?
“What have you done? Didn’t you
know I could figure out what you did?”
(יז)
What does יוסף answer back to יהודה?
"It is not fitting for me to make
all of you slaves! Only the one with the cup will be a slave; the rest of you
go in peace to your father!”
(טז)
How does יהודה respond to יוסף?
“How can we defend ourselves? ה' has found the sin of your servants! We
will all be slaves!”
(כב)
Who will die if בנימין leaves and why? (רש"י)
בנימין may die on the
way like his mother did.
(יג)
What do we learn from how the פסוק describes מצרים? (רש"י)
In regards to war, it was
considered in their eyes like a small city of 10 people.
(ח)
How did the brothers defend themselves?
We returned money back from ארץ כנען,
why would we steal gold/silver?
(לב) How does יהודה
explain why he is defending בנימין more than his other
brothers? (רש"י)
I took responsibility for him and
will lose both worlds if I don’t return him!
(יח)
Why does יהודה say that יוסף
shouldn’t get angry? (רש"י)
He was going to speak strongly to
יוסף
(י)
What did the man respond about how they should be punished? (רש"י)
In truth, you should be punished
as you said – all of you should become slaves. But I will be nice and only make
the one who stole the cup into a slave.
(ט)
What did the brothers say should happen if one of them stole the cup?
The one who the cup is found with should die, and we will all become
slaves.
(טז) What was יהודה really saying? (רש"י)
We know that we are innocent, but ה' has brought this on us as a punishment.
(יח)
What does it mean to speak in his “ears”? (רש"י)
You should hear my words - let
them enter your ears
(ד)
When did יוסף send for the brothers to be chased?
They had not yet gone far from
the city
(יח)
How is יוסף like פרעה?
(רש"י) [4 ways]
Respect you like פרעה, you will get צרעת like when פרעה took שרה,
you don’t keep you word, I will kill both of you if you upset me.
(כט)
How does רש"י explain what יעקב said (that he will die)?
When I have בנימין it consoles me about his mother and brother. If he dies, it
will be as if I lost all 3 of them at once.
(יג)
What do we see from how they loaded their donkeys? (רש"י)
They were strong and didn’t need
to help each other.
(יג)
How did the brothers react when the cup was found?
They tore their clothes, reloaded
their donkeys, and headed back to the city.
(ד)
What was the “chaser” supposed to say to the brothers?
Why did you pay back good with
bad!?
(יד)
What do the brothers do when they return to the house of יוסף?
Throw themselves on the floor before him
