Joseph and His Brothers - Beginners Bible

[Music] do you know how the world began how God created it by the end from mighty mountains to the raging sea to a leaf every single tree it's just talking up and take [Music] [Applause] the story Oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] once there was a man named Jacob who lived in the land of Canaan with his twelve sons the oldest was Reuben then Simeon Levi Judah Issachar Zebulun GAD Asher Dan and Naphtali [Music] and finally Benjamin and Joseph they were Jacob's children by his second wife Rachel being the youngest they stayed at home while their brothers worked the pastures Jacob loved all his sons but Joseph was his favorite father when can I tend the Sheep with my brothers I dreamed it would be any day now Joseph you and your dreams mm-hmm you start tomorrow and to celebrate the big event I have a surprise for you now that he's of age Joseph will join his older brothers in the fields and this will keep you warm Oh father it's beautiful [Music] Hey look at these sleeves and the colors father should have given you a coat like that Ruben you're the oldest huh in my dreams Josef's brothers were jealous of his gift it reminded them that their father loved him most of all but the beautiful coat wasn't the only thing that made them angry at Joseph [Music] Judah Asher Simeon the other night I had a wonderful dream we were all in a field binding bundles of grain and my bundle stood upright while yours gathered around mine and bowed down bow down to you huh father made worship you but we don't hey it was just a dream Simeon I'm going to bed [Music] you know last night I dreamed I was a star in the sky along with 11 other stars [Music] the Sun and the moon were there too [Music] and they all bow down to me [Music] eleven starves you mean eleven brothers and we're supposed to bow to you who do you think you are a king if we're the stars who are the Moon and Sun his mother and I Joseph you don't think your family should actually worship You Father it was just did you get to sleep you and your brothers leave early in the morning if you sleep late they won't wait for you father's got bad night mmm-hmm and I don't want to hear anything more about dreams the next day Joseph was left behind oh the dreamers found us get ready to bow my brothers look at him strut around like a peacock in his new coat sometimes I wish we could get rid of him no you don't but I do if he mentions one more dream simian he's our brother we couldn't hurt him but you've given me an idea what were you trying to do lose me Joseph began to tell his brothers how smart he had been to find them but they weren't listening they had other plans hey careful with the coat Reuben Judah No [Music] we'll keep him down there until we figure out what to do next Reuben planned to free Joseph when no one was looking and sent him scurrying home [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Ruben and Neftali rounded up the flock while the others ate their supper while they ate a caravan approached would it be funny if we sold Joseph to those merchants why not we'd finally be rid of the pests and have money from the sale everyone agreed to the terrible plan and Joseph was sold for 20 pieces of silver brothers why are you doing this [Music] god whatever happens to me I still have my faith in you [Music] you did what - Joseph calm down Reuben I'll calm down when you figure out what we're going to tell father we have figured it out we ripped Joseph's coat we'll just make up some story we looked everywhere for him but only found his coat Oh Joseph what has happened to you my son the brothers lied and Jacob believed them Joseph was taken to Egypt and accused of a crime he hadn't done anything wrong but he was thrown into the Pharaohs prison anyway even in prison Joseph trusted in God God I didn't do anything bad but I'm in here for some reason I know in my heart that it's all part of your plan Joseph was right and part of God's plan was to bless him with a special gift the ability to understand other people's dreams oh what a terrible life if I only knew what my dream meant ah my dream was four times as confusing as yours I can tell you what it means you understand my dreams ah not I only God can explain them I believe you tell me about my dream I was Pharaoh's cup Bearer until I displeased him in my dream I saw a grapevine on the vine were three branches with grapes I squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup and put the cup in pharaoh's hand [Music] the three vines mean that in three days Pharaoh will set you free and you'll be his cup bearer again Thank You Joseph No thank God my friend and when you're free please tell Pharaoh about me tell him I shouldn't be in this awful place I promise I promise enough about you I'm next in my dream I had three baskets on my head in the top basket were baked goods for Pharaoh suddenly three birds came and ate everything out of the basket what's that all about in three days you will also leave this prison I knew it I'm too important to stay here any longer wait there's more everything you own will be taken away and you will be given Pharaohs harshest punishment I'm sorry [Music] everything Joseph said came true but the cupbearer forgot to tell Pharaoh about him Joseph stayed in prison for two long years then one day [Music] oh what a strange dream [Music] Pharaoh met with the wisest man in his kingdom maybe they could understand his dream [Music] but not one of them had an answer then the cup bearer remembered his promise to Joseph Oh Pharaoh there is a very wise man in your prison who might explain your dream Joseph I dreamed that I was standing on the banks of the Nile when seven fat cows came out of the water then seven skinny cows came out of the river and suddenly the skinny cows ate the fat cows [Music] what does it mean my God is telling you what he plans to do the seven fat cows mean that there will be seven years with plenty of crops and food for everyone but the seven skinny cows mean that after that for seven years no crops will grow and your people will have no food this is horrible terrible no Pharaoh God has sent you this message so that you can prepare build barns to save some of the food that grows in the seven years of plenty your people will have plenty to eat it is true you are filled with the Spirit of God this is the wisest man in my kingdom we'll build these barns and save our food and there is only one man who I trust to do such an important job this man Joseph Joseph went right to work [Music] and soon the barns were bursting with grain and filled with cattle but Joseph's greatest achievement was that the people loved him God had helped Joseph do these wonderful things and Joseph never forgot to thank him [Music] seven years later the terrible drought that Joseph had warned about arrived no crops grew anywhere not even in Joseph's old home Canaan we're out of food father there's a wise leader in Egypt who has stored food for seven years he's selling it to anyone who needs it then we'll go meet with him and buy his grain not Benjamin I want him safe here with me [Music] Joseph recognized his brothers bless you great one but they didn't recognize him so he pretended to be a stranger where are you from Canaan great one seeking food for our family your spies no we're brothers from a family of 12 please believe me [Music] liar there are only 10 of you one brother was killed and Benjamin the youngest was left at home I'll sell you my grain but to prove that you are innocent and honest bring this younger brother of yours the next time you come I am going to keep one of you here until you return [Music] do you promise we promise God is punishing us for selling Joseph into slavery he pleaded with us and we betrayed him I have no more time for you take your grain and go [Music] and remember your promise father we had no choice Oh Simeon my son a prisoner in Egypt but look father we got the grain [Music] hey my money's here in the sack [Music] now we'll be accused of being thieves as well as spies Jacob didn't want to lose another son to Egypt so the family tried to save their food [Music] but soon it was all gone [Music] we're leaving for Egypt and we must take Benjamin no he'll wind up in prison like Simeon we promised father if Benjamin doesn't come Simeon will stay in prison and the Egyptian ruler won't sell us his grain [Music] Benjamin will come home unharmed I promise if he doesn't Judah I'll die of sentence is your father well yes sir good God has blessed you and you kept your promise so I'll keep mine [Music] [Applause] [Music] then the brothers left but Joseph had told his servant to secretly place his silver Cup in one of their sacks stop why do you reap a good with evil one of you has stolen my silver cup [Music] they for this crime you will remain here in Egypt as my slave please if Benjamin doesn't return home with us our Father will die of grief he stays Oh No take me instead no me please great one when you threw me down that well you meant it to be a bad thing but in the end God has turned it into something good I came to Egypt and helped keep a nation from starving it's me Benjamin Joseph it's true I'm Joseph Oh can you tell it's me look closer and you'll see the eyes of your loss I am so glad to have my family gathered here it's so good to know your name [Music] even I can [Music] to [Music] what's done is whoever's driving it was God [Music] what you meant [Music] is used for good [Music] for me to be just too [Music] it's really it's real [Music] gather your families and our father and come live with me in Egypt [Music] Joseph God be praised you're alive with Joseph and his family were never apart again and God who helped them survive the famine raised up a great nation from this family so Joseph learned that even when bad things happen God can turn them into something good [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music]
