The sons of Jacob were jealous of their brother Joseph because he was his father’s favorite son. They sold him to slave traders and told their father a wild animal had killed him.

When a famine broke out in the land, it was through Joseph’s wisdom that the Egyptians had enough food. People from other countries came to seek food from the Egyptians, among them Joseph’s brothers. Joseph forgave his brothers for their evil to him and told them to bring their families to Egypt so they could be cared for during the long famine.
