Joseph Weeps in Private After Seeing His Brother Benjamin,
(see Genesis 43:29-30),
by Joel Mark Solliday, editor of Campus CrossWalk.

: Designer's Note: Since we need to be careful about respecting the copyrights of the images linked below, Joel sent me the above work of his own, to illustrate what is available in forms of Bible art. The image above is a very low resolution reduction of Joel's piece, which I personally regard as comparable to the works of Gustave Doré, (French, 1832-1883). Joel, thanks for sharing it with us and (this is where I edit the editor), no, I will not put it at the bottom of this page, Brian
