[Joseph] commanded the steward of his house, “Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in the top of his sack. Put my cup, the silver cup, in the top of the sack of the youngest, with his money for the grain.” (Genesis 44:1-2)

The victim becomes the perpetrator
in the game of retribution.
How long will Joseph live
from the pit?
How long will he be enslaved
to his anger?
