Back In Palestine

12:81 ‘Our father, your son has committed a theft. We know for sure, because this is what we have witnessed. This was an unexpected occurrence.

12:82 ‘You may ask the community where we were, and the caravan that came back with us. We are telling the truth.'”

12:83 He said, “Indeed, you have conspired to carry out a certain scheme. Quiet patience is my only recourse. May GOD bring them all back to me. He is the Omniscient, Most Wise.”

12:84 He turned away from them, saying, “I am grieving over Joseph.” His eyes turned white from grieving so much; he was truly sad.

12:85 They said, “By GOD, you will keep on grieving over Joseph until you become ill, or until you die.”

12:86 He said, “I simply complain to GOD about my dilemma and grief, for I know from GOD what you do not know.

12:87 “O my sons, go fetch Joseph and his brother, and never despair of GOD’s grace. None despairs of GOD’s grace except the disbelieving people.”
