Joseph told his brothers they should be mad at themselves for what they had done to him.	Joseph said that it was good for him to have been sold into Egypt, because he had saved lives.	Joseph didn’t want his brothers to tell his father that he was alive.
Joseph’s brothers were shepherds.	Pharaoh would not let Joseph’s family settle in Egypt.	The Israelites increased greatly in number.
