Bible Bed Time Stories: Genesis 42: 6-24 by ric gustafson
" Who are you?". Joseph pointed at his brothers. " Where do you come from?".
" We've come from Canaan to buy food".
" No you didn't". Joseph pointed at them. " You're spies".
" No, we are twelve brothers". They bowed their heads. " One has died one is at home".
" You must prove to me you are not spies". Joseph frowned at his brothers. " You must bring your youngest brother here".
The brothers were locked up.
Three days later, the brothers faced Joseph again.
" One must remain". Joseph's voice hesitated. " The others may leave with your food for your families".
The brothers bowed to Joseph.
" Someone must bring your youngest brother back to me". Joseph frowned again. " Then I will know you are not spies". Joseph looked at Simeon. " You must stay".
The brothers left.
Outside, Reuben pointed a finger at his brothers. " This happened because of what you did to Joseph".
Filled with emotion, Joseph began to cry.
