NASB | Genesis 37:26 Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is it for us to kill our brother and cover up his blood? |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 37:26 Judah said to his brothers, "What do we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood (murder)? |
Bible Question: What was Judah's motive here? Was he truly concerned about his brothers life, was he trying to apease his conscious by getting rid of him this way instead of murdering him or was hi solely interested in the money he/they would receive from selling him? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Prayon! I think that Judah's motives in Gen. 37 were mostly selfish. He probably couldn't bring himself to actually killing his half-brother, but he didn't really care about the pain and grief he would be causing both his half-brother and his father. However, by Gen. 44, we see a Judah that seems to have matured. At this point, he is willing to become a slave himself rather than let his father suffer the loss of another beloved son.
