Jacob Senses Joseph
12:68 When they went (to Joseph), they entered in accordance with their father’s instructions. Although this could not change anything decreed by GOD, Jacob had a private reason for asking them to do this . For he possessed certain knowledge that we taught him, but most people do not know.
Why did Jacob ask them to enter through separate doors?
Maybe because if it is a trap they will be looking for a group of eleven, but if they enter through separate doors they can get in under the radar.
God tells us that Jacob had a private reason for asking this so we shouldn’t extrapolate to make assumptions
3:66 You have argued about things you knew; why do you argue about things you do not know? GOD knows, while you do not know.
