Genesis 43 · Grade 4

A Changed Brother

Name Date

Read and Think

Years before, Judah had suggested selling Joseph. Now he stepped forward to protect Benjamin. He offered to take the blame himself if anything went wrong. God was changing Judah's heart.

Jacob also had to let go. He had held tightly to Benjamin, but now he had to trust God Almighty. Sometimes faith means placing what we love most in God's hands.

Joseph's tears show his tender love. The feast was a test too. Would the brothers be jealous when Benjamin received five times more? This time, they enjoyed the meal together. The old jealousy seemed to be fading.
