Joseph's brothers came back again, and this time they were kind to their youngest brother Benjamin. Their hearts had changed!
Joseph couldn't hold it in anymore. He cried and said, “I'm Joseph, your brother!” They were shocked and scared.
But Joseph hugged them. “Don't be afraid. God sent me here to save lives.” Joseph forgave his brothers, and the whole family moved to Egypt.
