How God created it, from the mighty mountain to the raging sea, to every leaf on every tree, is in the holy book you just opened. Get up and take a look, it's a story for young and old. The greatest story ever told, so land and you will hear the greatest story. The biggest story. Once upon a time there was a man named Jacob who lived in the land of Canaan with his 12 sons, the eldest. It was Reuben then Simeon Levi Judah Issachar Zebulon Gad Asher Dan and Naphtali and finally Benjamin and Joseph were sons of Jacob by his second wife Rachel being the youngest, they stayed at home while their brothers worked the pastures Jacob loved all his children but Joseph was his favorite father when I can take care of the sheep with my brothers I dreamed that it would be any day José you and your dreams start tomorrow and who celebrates the big event I have a surprise for you now that he is of age José will join his older brothers in the fields they are well there and this will keep you warm oh father it's beautiful look at these sleeves and the colors father should have given you a cat like that Ruben you're the oldest huh in my dreams Joseph's brothers were jealous of his gift .

He reminded them that his father loved him most of all, but the beautiful coat wasn't the only thing that made them angry at Joseph Judah Asher Simeon. The other night I had a wonderful dream in which we were all in a field tying bundles of grain and my bundle stood up while yours gathered around mine and bowed before you, hey, father, I can worship you, but we can't Hey, it was just a dream. Simeon, I'm going to bed, you know, last night I dreamed that I was a star in the sky along with 11 other stars, the sun and the moon were also there and they all bowed before me 11 stars, you mean 11 brothers and they are supposed to that we must bow before you, who do you think you are a king if we are the stars? who are the Moon and the Sun, their mother and I, José, you don't think your family should worship your father, it was just to go to sleep, you and your brothers leave early in the morning, if you sleep late, no They will wait for you.

Father is right and I don't want to hear anything more about the dreams the next day Joseph stayed behind hello uh-oh the dreamers found us get ready to bow my brothers watch him strut like a peacock in his new coat sometimes I wish we could get rid of it of him, no, you don't, but I do, if he mentions one more dream. Simeon, he is our brother, we couldn't hurt him, but you have given me an idea. What were you trying to do, lose me, Joseph began. to tell his brothers how smart he had been to find them, but they weren't listening, they had other plans, hey, be careful with a coat.

Ruben Judá, no, we'll keep him down there until we figure out what to do next. Rubén planned to free José. when no one was looking and sent him running home oh no, reuben and nef gathered the flock while the others ate while they ate, a caravan came up, wouldn't it be funny if we sold

joseph

to those merchants? Yes, why not? Finally he would get rid of the pest and I would have money from the sale. Everyone agreed to the terrible plan and Joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver. Brothers, why are you doing this?

God, no matter what happens, I still have my faith in you. Joseph, calm down, Ruben, I will calm down when you find out what we are going to tell father, we have discovered it, we ripped off Joseph's coat, we will just make up a story, we looked everywhere for him but we only found his coat, oh Joseph. What happened to you my son the brothers lied and Jacob believed them Joseph they took him to Egypt and accused him of a crime he had not done anything wrong but they threw him into Pharaoh's prison anyway even in prison Joseph trusted in God God I no I didn't do anything wrong, but I'm here for a reason.

I know in my heart that it is all part of your plan. Joseph was right and part of God's plan was to bless him with a special gift: the ability to understand other people's dreams. what a terrible night if only I knew what my dream meant my dream was four times more confusing than yours I can tell you what it means you understand my dreams H no I Only God can explain them I think you tell me about my dream I was The cupbearer of the Pharaoh until I displeased him in my dream I saw a vine on the vine there were three branches with grapes.

I squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup and put the cup in Pharaoh's hand. The three vines mean that in 3 days Pharaoh will free you and you will be his cup bearer again thank you Joseph no thank God my friend and when you are free please tell Pharaoh about me tell him I should not be in this horrible place I promise, I promise, enough about you, I'm next In my dream I had three baskets in my head, in the top basket there were baked goods for Pharaoh, suddenly three birds came and ate everything in the basket. What's that all about?

In 3 days you will also leave this prison. I knew it. Am. too important to stay here anymore wait, there is more everything you have will be taken from you and you will receive the most severe punishment from Pharaoh. I'm sorry, everything Joseph said came true, but the cupbearer forgot to tell Pharaoh about him. Joseph remained in prison for two long years then one day oh what a strange dream Pharaoh found himself with the wisest men in his kingdom perhaps they could understand his dream but none of them had an answer then the cupbearer remembered his promise to Joseph oh Pharaoh there a very wise man in your prison, who could explain your dream, Joseph?

I dreamed that I was standing on the banks of the Nile when seven fat cows came out of the water, then seven skinny cows came out of the river and suddenly the skinny cows ate the fat cows. What does it do? It means that my God is telling you what He plans to do. The seven fat cows mean that there will be seven years with abundant crops and food for everyone, but the seven lean cows mean that after that for 7 years no crops will grow and your people will not have food. It's horrible terrible no Pharaoh God has sent you this message so that you can prepare build barns to store some of the food that grows in the seven years of abundance your people will have plenty to eat it is true you are satisfied with the spirit of God this is the man wiser in My Kingdom we will build these Barns and store our food and there is only one man I trust to do such an important job this man Joseph Joseph set to work and soon the barns were full of grain and full of cattle, but the eldest Joseph's achievement was that people loved him.

God had helped Joseph do these wonderful things and Joseph never forgot to thank him. 7 years later the terrible drought that Joseph had warned about came, no crops grew anywhere. even in Joseph's old home, Canaan, we have run out of food, father, there is a wise leader in Egypt who has stored food for seven years and sells it to anyone who needs it, then we will go meet him and buy his grain , not Benjamin, I want. He's safe here with me Joseph recognized his brothers, bless you, great, but they didn't recognize him, so he pretended to be a stranger.

Where are you from? Kanan, a great man who searches for food for our family, your spies, no, we are brothers of a family. of 12 please believe me a liar you are only 10 a brother was murdered and Benjamin the youngest stayed at home I will sell you my grain but to prove that you are innocent and honest bring this younger brother of yours the next time they come, I will keep one of you here until I return, promise we promise? God is punishing us for selling Joseph into slavery, he begged us and we betrayed him. I have no more time for you, take your grain and go and remember your Promise father, we had no other choice.

Oh, I, my son, am a prisoner in Egypt, but look, father, we have the grain. Hey, my money is here in the bag. Now we will be accused of being thieves and spies. Jacob didn't want to lose another. son to Egypt so the family tried to save their food but soon everything was gone we are going to Egypt and we must take Benjamin, no, he will end up in prison like Simeon, we promised our father, if Benjamin does not come, Simeon will stay. in prison and the Egyptian ruler does not sell us his grain Benjamin will return home unharmed I promise if he does not Judah I will die of sadness he is your father good yes sir good good God has blessed you and you kept your promise so I will keep mine then The brothers left but Joseph had told his servant to secretly place his silver cup in one of his sacks.

Stop, why do you pay good with evil? One of you has stolen my silver cup. Understand Thief for this crime, you will remain. here in Egypt as my slave, please, if Benjamin does not return home with us, our father will die of grief, he stays. In the end God has turned it into something good. I came to Egypt and helped prevent a nation from starving. It's me, Benjamín José, it's true, it's José, oh say it's me, look closer and you'll see the eyes of your lost brother. I am very happy to have my GED family here.

It's so good to know you're around again. It's really me. I almost can't even believe you're here after all these years. It was God's plan for me to be who I am. It's true. You see, it's really me, what was done is over, oh brothers, dry your tears, it was God who sent me here and my heart has no end. What you intended for evil, then God has used for good, who thought that he would choose me? It's really me, even me. It's hard to believe you're here after all these years. It was God's plan for me to be who I am.

It's true. You will see. It's really me. It's really me. Gather your families and our father and come live with me in Egypt. Praise God, you are alive and well Joseph and his family were never separated again and God, who helped them survive the famine, raised a great nation from this family, so Joseph learned that even when bad things happen, God You can turn them into something good.
