Today's new drawing is of Joseph who was sold into Egypt... when he met his brothers there.

Joseph meets His Brothers in Egypt

THIS is a stylized drawing - done in a modified ancient Egyptian style of drawing. The drawing shows when Joseph greets his brothers. These same 10 brothers had sold him into slavery. Joseph had suffered, even having been falsely accused and imprisoned... but he had triumphed. He interpreted the Pharaoh's dreams, and he, Joseph, was put in as the number 2 man in Egypt. 

Joseph had predicted an upcoming 7 good years of harvest... followed by 7 years of famine. He had been put in charge of storing the excess food for when the famine hit.

Meanwhile, over in Canaan, Joseph's father and his 11 brothers and their families were suffering due to the drought and famine. So, Jacob, or Israel, had sent his sons to Egypt to get food. Originally, only the 10 oldest brothers went, and the youngest son, Benjamin, was left at home. 

After leading them on a bit, Joseph forgave his older brothers and told them that it was all meant to be.
