Story — English
Eleven brothers who were jealous of Yusuf’s special place in their father’s heart. They threw him into a well and told their father a wolf ate him. Years later they came to Egypt in famine, not recognizing Yusuf as the minister. He recognized them. He tested them, revealed himself, and forgave them completely. They returned to Yaqub with his shirt — his sight was restored. The brothers’ story is one of jealousy, sin, years of carrying guilt, and ultimate repentance and forgiveness.
