* BigBrotherBully: Taken to the logical extreme with Joseph's brothers selling him into slavery. It's no surprise that when he sees them again, Joseph goes OhCrap and immediately lashes out at them as the vizier.

Joseph certainly notes the difference and subtly asks why they didn't protect him, by asking why they should care if Benjamin is locked up, beaten and treated like a slave.

* EntertaininglyWrong: When Joseph encounters his brothers again while he's the vizier, they mention having a brother at home while looking to buy grain. He calls them liars and accuses them of being thieves, while he flashes back to the silver they received for selling them, assuming that they are referring to ''Joseph'' as the brother at home. To save their brother Simeon from imprisonment, they have to produce the "brother at home". Joseph doesn't expect that his mother had conceived and gave birth to a child in the twenty years he was gone; he had no reason to think such a thing. He's very surprised on encountering Benjamin.
* FrameUp: As part of a SecretTestOfCharacter, Joseph sneaks his golden goblet into Benjamin's bag of grain and accuses him of theft. He doesn't go through with it, however, when hearing the other brothers confess that they had sold Joseph into slavery.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** While Jacob is in the wrong for showing favoritism towards Joseph, he is right that the brothers shouldn't have left Joseph alone to defend their flock from wolves. What's more, the brothers never confessed about selling Joseph into slavery, because the earful they would have received would have been entirely justified in how it hurt more people than Jacob.
** When Joseph as vizier encounters his brothers again, he calls them liars and thieves while they are buying grain. No one else knows, but he is right: they stole him from his father, and stole his freedom from him, and lied about his death to Jacob. He's also right to tell a worried Asenath that it doesn't look like they suffered or were sorry for selling him into slavery.
* KarmaHoudini: Subverted; at first it seems to Joseph that his brothers were this when he sees them in Egypt looking to buy grain. He even mentions to Asenath that if they're sorry then they haven't shown it, and to an extent he is correct in that Jacob for all those twenty years never found out what they did and punished them. Judah finally confesses, however, that they've been living with the guilt that they lost Joseph forever, hence why they treat Benjamin more kindly.
