Shnayim Yomi - Miketz - Sh'vi'i - #7

foreign [Music] all the brothers are reunited sitting in a room breaking bread eating a feast and fascinatingly Yosef instructs them where to sit and he seats them in chronological birth order now this is actually much more difficult than you might think because all of the shwatim all 11 not in Yemen he was born later but the first 11 are born in a six-year period they're born very very tied up against each other it's not like one is white hair and one is black hair and one is very very uh difficult to see who might be older but he somehow knows who's older and seats them as such how does he know and then according to the madrish he sits there looking at his cup and says oh yeah I can tell you stories about your childhood and he starts telling them stories that he has no way of knowing and they don't understand how this is possible and the Apostle says they drank and they got drunk with him and the measure says that this is the first time that either of them meaning the brothers or Yosef had drank wine ever since they sold Yosef none of them had celebrated for decades but today a they're together even though it's unbeknownst to them and they party and then when it's time to leave hugs hugs and kisses sends them off and he says to his Chamberlain do me a favor take my magic goblet that helps me tell them who's older and who's not and hide it in the backpack of the youngest one and sure enough they do that and the brothers are going home and they're very happy that now they have a friend and you know in power in Egypt and all of a sudden the KGB surrounds them on the highway and they say hey guys great to see you they say no not so great to see you you stole my Master's cup to which the brothers respond why would we steal your Master's cup we even brought back the original monies that we thought was a mistake we would never steal from your master your Master's been so nice to us we would never they say we'll see and they line them all up one at a time and go through their luggage and sure enough when it gets to binyamin they find the cup and the brothers rip their clothes and they cry and they can't believe what has befallen them and they go back they're brought back to the city and they stand in front of Yosef and Yehuda says to your safe take us all as slaves we don't know how this happened we have nothing to say we have nothing to justify we will all be slaves to you and Joseph says nonsense that wouldn't be reasonable and fair the one who stole my cup he will be slaves he will be a slave to me and the rest of you Allah you can go back peacefully to your old dad and on that Cliffhanger precious me Cates comes to a close have an amazing Shabbos and don't forget to do schneidomi [Music]
