After Joseph reveals his true identity to his brothers, he tells them not to be distressed or angry with themselves for selling him into slavery. He reassures them that it was God's plan for him to be in Egypt to save lives during the famine. Joseph then instructs his brothers to return to their father, Jacob, and bring him and their families to Egypt, where he will provide for them during the remaining years of famine.
