Bible Verses About Brother: Joseph's for his brethren

Then Yosef hurried out, because his feelings toward his brother were so strong that he wanted to cry; he went into his bedroom and there he wept.

Then he washed his face and came out, but he controlled himself as he gave the order to serve the meal.

They served him by himself, the brothers by themselves, and the Egyptians included at the meal by themselves - Egyptians don't eat with Hebrews, because that is abhorrent to them.

So they sat there facing him, the firstborn in the place of honor, the youngest in last place; and the men expressed their amazement to each other.

Each was given his serving there in front of him, but Binyamin's portion was five times as large as any of theirs. So they drank and enjoyed themselves with him.

He wept aloud, and the Egyptians heard, and Pharaoh's household heard.

Yosef said to his brothers, "I am Yosef! Is it true that my father is still alive?" His brothers couldn't answer him, they were so dumbfounded at seeing him.

Yosef said to his brothers, "Please! Come closer." And they came closer. He said, "I am Yosef, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

But don't be sad that you sold me into slavery here or angry at yourselves, because it was God who sent me ahead of you to preserve life.

But Yosef said to them, "Don't be afraid! Am I in the place of God?

You meant to do me harm, but God meant it for good -so that it would come about as it is today, with many people's lives being saved.

So don't be afraid -I will provide for you and your little ones." In this way he comforted them, speaking kindly to them.

Yosef continued living in Egypt, he and his father's household. Yosef lived 110 years.

Yosef lived to see Efrayim's great-grandchildren, and the children of M'nasheh's son Makhir were born on Yosef's knees.

Yosef said to his brothers, "I am dying. But God will surely remember you and bring you up out of this land to the land which he swore to Avraham, Yitz'chak and Ya'akov."

Then Yosef took an oath from the sons of Isra'el: "God will surely remember you, and you are to carry my bones up from here."
