The Bible Story - Moses Flees Egypt - Basil Wolverton - December 1959

After Jacob's eleven sons had returned to their homes in Goshen, some of them began to worry about how Joseph might treat them. They still felt guilty about some of their past actions. Anxious to do everything they could to make up for the wrong ways in which they had treated Joseph when he was young, they sent him a message in which they asked for his forgiveness. Joseph felt even more kindly toward his brothers after he received the message. Later, when they came to bow humbly before him, he broke into tears. "You did evil to me," he reminded them. "But don't worry about it any more. It was part of God's plan to get me into Egypt and use me to help many people. Don't have any fear of me because I am next to Pharaoh in power. I want to help you and your families." (Genesis 50: 15-21.) - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
