The hungry years came. Joseph's family back home had no food. So Jacob sent ten of Joseph's brothers to Egypt to buy some.
They bowed down to the man in charge. It was Joseph! But they didn't know it was him. Joseph's dream had come true!
Joseph tested his brothers to see if their hearts had changed. They said, “We're being punished for what we did to our brother.”
