Conflict and reconciliationGrief

12 Behold! You and my brother Benjamin can see that I, Joseph, am the one speaking with you.

13 Tell my father about all my splendor in Egypt and everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”

Then Joseph threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept as they embraced.

15 Joseph kissed each of his brothers as he wept over them. And afterward his brothers talked with him.

16 When the news reached Pharaoh’s house that Joseph’s brothers had come, Pharaoh and his servants were pleased.
