Joseph Forgives Again
Read the Story
Jacob died, and Joseph was very sad. Joseph and his brothers took Jacob to Canaan and buried him in the family cave.
Then the brothers got scared. They worried that Joseph might pay them back for the bad things they did. They asked Joseph to forgive them.
Joseph cried. He told them not to be afraid. They meant to hurt him, but God meant it for good, to save many people. Joseph was kind to his brothers and took care of their children.
