Here is the beginning of the fulfillment of Joseph’s dreams (see ). But it is not the complete fulfillment, since all his brothers and his parents must come. The point of the dream, of course, was not simply to get the family to bow to Joseph, but that Joseph would be placed in a position of rule and authority to save the family and the world ( 41:57 ).","source_note_position":2,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Genesis%2042%3A6/2"}

Joseph intends to test his brothers to see if they have changed and have the integrity to be patriarchs of the tribes of Israel.

There is some mirroring going on in the narrative. The Hebrew word used here ( אָסַף , ’ asaf , “to gather”) is not normally used in a context like this (for placing someone in prison), but it forms a wordplay on the name Joseph ( יוֹסֵף , yosoef ) and keeps the comparison working.","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Genesis%2042%3A17/1"}
