Joseph's brothers had plotted to kill him out of jealousy but instead sold him into slavery. Though unjustly accused and imprisoned, Joseph rose to power in Egypt. When the brothers came seeking food during a famine, they feared Joseph would take revenge. However, Joseph told them not to be afraid, and that what they intended for harm, God intended for good. The document encourages gently restoring those who sin, carrying each other's burdens, and doing good to all people.
