Imagine the violent swings of emotion among Joseph brothers as they are accused of being spies and then given a reasonable way to exonerate themselves then getting when they find their money returned to them.
When they go up again they are greeted warmly and assured that they had no debt from the first visit. They are invited to dinner with the Lord and treated as honored guests then as soon as they leave they are chased down like thieves and find the one brother that they must bring home apparently guilty of the crime. From the depths of that sirius and frustration they then learn that their original sin of selling Joseph has been effectively undone because Joseph is not only alive but prospering and inviting them to share in his security in Egypt.
