Judah was the fourth son of Jacob. He proposed that they sell their brother Joseph into slavery rather than killing him, a decision that resulted in Joseph being separated from his family for more than twenty years. When Joseph tested his brothers in Egypt, Judah offered his own life to protect his younger brother Benjamin. The tribe that descended from Judah eventually came to represent the whole of the nation of Israel.
Consider the details of Judah’s story. What aspects are surprising or unexpected?

it surprised me that God chose that brother because he got put into slavery by his own brothers and then God ended up leading Judah back to his brothers.

What I took away from this:
Judah means: praise
Joseph means: Jehovah (God) will add
Benjamin means: son of the right [hand]We know based on scripture that Jesus sits on the right hand if the Father in heaven.
So.. “Praise; God will add [the] Son of the Right hand”
this whole conversation featuring these three men is a prophetic regarding Jesus even in their names. I just love how creatively detailed God is ❤️ -
It was surprising to me but it shouldn’t have been that God again uses the one who failed in a big way to follow God. However, he obviously in the 20 years since that act had remorse and had sought to follow God which was demonstrated in his care for his youngest brother. God can use what is intended for evil for His Good. Again, nothing not man, not evil can thwart God’s plans
