Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin embraced him, weeping. And he kissed all his brothers and wept over them. Afterward his brothers talked with him.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan, and bring your father and your families back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt and you can enjoy the fat of the land.’
And this is what he sent to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other provisions for his journey.
And Israel said, “I’m convinced! My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
Why?
A happy ending of this family. even Joseph was sold by his brothers, it was to save lives that God sent Joseph ahead of them.
This event made Israelites moved from Canaan to Egypt with honor and joy, but later there are a hard time came to them when new Pharoah rules over Egypt.

約瑟安慰他兄弟們，被害者安慰加害者。
以奴隸的身份成為管家。難道這只是還約瑟公義嗎？神要賜福以色列家族，讓更多的人蒙福。
人無論如何阻擋神的，會轉成益處。順服神的掌

God is the Lord, God has arranged well ahead of his people.
