Genesis 45 · Grade 2

Joseph Tells Who He Is

Name Date

Read the Story

Joseph could not hide his feelings anymore. He sent everyone out of the room except his brothers. He cried so loudly that people outside heard him. He said, I am Joseph!

His brothers were scared. But Joseph told them to come close and not be upset, because God sent him there to save lives. Joseph hugged Benjamin and cried. He kissed all his brothers.

Joseph told them to go get their father and come live near him in Egypt. The brothers went home and told Jacob that Joseph was alive! At first Jacob could not believe it. Then he said, I will go and see him before I die.

Memory Verse

“Now don’t be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.”

Genesis 45:5 (WEB)
