GENESIS 45
JOSEPH REVEALS HIS IDENTITY TO HIS BROTHERS
Joseph is moved by Judah’s compassion for Benjamin, so he reveals himself to his brothers, saying “I am your brother Joseph!” They are shocked and dismayed by this news.
Joseph forgives his brothers for selling him into slavery and tells them not to be angry or distressed with themselves. He says that it was God’s plan all along for this to happen and that now he is able to provide for the family during the famine.
Joseph embraces Benjamin, his only full brother, and weeps with him.
Joseph tells his brothers that he will provide for them and that they will have everything they need. He tells them to go back to Canaan, get their families, and come back to Egypt for the remaining five years of the famine.
The brothers travel back to Canaan to tell Jacob the news. He can hardly believe it and decides he must go see Joseph again before he dies.
