Bible Story: Joseph showed Love to His Brothers. Genesis 45:1-28

Joseph was an important man in Egypt. He had helped Pharaoh, the king, store a lot of grain. A famine began - there was no rain. People everywhere were hungry. They traveled to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph and Pharaoh.

 

Joseph's brothers came to Egypt to buy grain. They had not seen Joseph in a long time and did not recognize him. For a while, Joseph did not tell his brothers who he was. One day, Joseph said, "I am Joseph, your brother. Is my father still alive?" Joseph's brothers were surprised. When they were younger, they had been mean to Joseph. Now they were afraid of what he would do to them.

 

Joseph said, "Do not be afraid. Do not worry about what happened a long time ago. God sent me here. God had a plan for me to help many people." he continued, " Go back to Canaan. Tell my father that I am alive. Bring him here to Egypt. Bring all your families, too. The famine will last five more years. You will have enough food to eat. I love you. I will take care of you."

 

When Pharaoh heard that Joseph's brothers had come, he was happy. He said, "Give them carts. Tell them to bring their families to Egypt, I will give them the best land to live in." Joseph gave his brothers carts, new clothes and other things they would need to move to Egypt.

 

Back home, the brothers told their father, Jacob, "Joseph is alive. He is a leader in Egypt." Jacob didn't believe them. The brothers told Jacob all that Joseph had said. Jacob saw the carts that Joseph had sent. He said, "I believe you! I will move to Egypt and see my son, Joseph." Jacob, all the brothers, and all of their families moved to Egypt.
