Within these chapters in Genesis, we learn about Joseph, the son of Israel, and his life. There is a lot of the green monster (aka jealousy), and betraying people around you within the reading. Joseph is favored the most among the brothers by Israel, which causes them to basically plans mutiny against Joseph. The whole idea of betraying your own family due to a jealous outrage is so stupid. This happens in every family but not all of them plan to kill one of their own. In addition, when the famine comes, JOSEPH, is the one that brings food for the survivors. However, since his brothers left him naked and starving in a ditch to die, Joseph gives them a taste of their own medicine and shows them how it feels to be betrayed in a time of need by someone who is your blood or is close to you. Joseph really tries to be mean and rude to them, but he realizes God brought him to Egypt for a reason. At this point in time, he saves his brothers and realizes how much a family is supposed to mean to you. Yes, being a family does entail arguing but it no means, does it ever give someone permission to kill or plan to harm another. People need to realize that family is there forever and the consequences of your actions will come back and bite you...
