Conclusion of Pharaoh's Dreams

Phar'aoh likes the idea. And he chooses Joseph to collect the food, and to store it up. Next to Phar'aoh, Joseph becomes the most important man in Egypt.

Eight years later, during the famine, Joseph sees some men coming. Do you know who they are?  Why, they are his 10 older brothers!  Their father Jacob has sent them to Egypt because they were running out of food back home in Ca'naan.  Joseph recognizes his brothers, but they do not recognize him.  Do you know why? It is because Joseph has grown older, and his is dressed in a different kind of clothes.

Joseph remembers that when he was a boy he dreamed about his brothers coming to bow down to him. Do you remember reading about that?  So Joseph can see that it is God who has sent him down to Egypt, and for a good reason. What do you thing Joseph does? Let's see. 

Genesis 41"1-57; 42:1-8; 50:20.
