Jacob sent his sons to Egypt to buy grain. Joseph recognized his brothers and tested them to see if they were changed before he revealed who he was. The brothers bowed before Joseph just as he dreamed they would, and he forgave them, realizing that God had sent him to Egypt to save his family from the famine.

Israel gave a prophetic blessing to each of his sons concerning their future tribes, but the Savior was promised to Judah’s descendants. Israel died and was buried in the land of Canaan, but his sons remained in Egypt and multiplied greatly.
