Joseph And The Many Coloured Cloak

One of my favourite stories. There was this young man who was given a many coloured cloak by his father. Somehow his older brothers became jealous thinking he would get all the inheritence. They sold him to a slave trader. They got his cloak and tore it and put animal blood on it.

They told their father he was dead and showed the cloak as proof.

As it turned out Joseph eventually got into the good books of the Pharoah because he could interpret the Pharoah's dreams

He was made the chief minister. It happened that Joseph's brothers' land experienced famine and they came to get food from the Pharoah. You see Joseph had taught the people how to store food when there is abundance. So when the famine came they had enough food.

What do you think happened when Josph saw his brothers coming for help...?
