The brothers had returned from Egypt with news that Joseph, whom they had sold into slavery, was alive and held a position of power. This revelation would have been shocking and difficult to believe, given the years of deception.

It also highlights the theme of reconciliation, as Joseph's words were intended to bring healing and unity to his family.and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him back The wagons symbolize the tangible evidence of Joseph's status and intentions. In the ancient Near East, such wagons would have been a sign of wealth and authority, as they were not commonly used for long-distance travel by ordinary people. The presence of these wagons would have been a powerful visual confirmation of the truth of the brothers' message.
