Best Answer

Joseph used it to put Benjamin in a situation where his brothers would have to protect Benjamin or let him suffer. Since Benjamin was the now the favored son since Joseph's departure, this would show if his brothers had learned their lesson from having sold him to the Ishmaelites. Since Judah rose up and chose to take Benjamin's place as Joseph's slave (the penalty for theft), Joseph realizes that his brothers have learned their lesson.

Did Joseph forgive his brothers?

Yes. As it says so in the Bible, as Joseph's brothers were going to ask the leader for food, they did not realise that the leader was Joseph, their brother! And when Joseph was being mean to them, he gave up and told them that it was him their brother. And then he forgave his brothers.Additional Information:One of the reasons Joseph forgave his brothers was because he realized that his being sold to Egypt had been God's will for the preservation of the nation of Israel during a seven year famine(Genesis 45:2-15). But before he forgave, he tested his brothers to be sure they had changed their selfish jealous attitude over the years.(Genesis 41:57-45:1)
