This time, unlike before, we hear about his life with them: about his pride in his daughters, the sensuous names he gives them, the inheritance he bestows on them along wit…

…istant hope of reconciling with his brothers. I think, too, he may want to come to terms with his own role in the events of that awful afternoon many years ago. So he faces a complex problem. Shall he just tell them who he is and forgive them? No, he could not be ready for that. Shall he pretend he doesn’t know them and treat them like anyone other supplicant? Shall he exact vengeance on them for what they did to him? I think he does not yet know…

It is said that 500 million years ago, the most advanced life form on Earth was a multicellular worm. As humanity continues to evolve, someday people will reach new levels of consciousness and understanding, such that they will look back at us as primitive and limited.
