Joseph tells his brothers not to be sad about selling him. Interpretation: Commentators say God does not feel pain like a person but the Torah speaks in everyday language. They read Joseph's words as forgiveness, seeing God's plan behind the events. In the primary lessons: In personal and health lessons, children learn that grieving is a normal reaction to loss, that it takes time, and that talking to trusted adults helps. People grieve in different ways: crying, being quiet, feeling angry or even laughing at memories. In stories grief shows love and loss. Phrases: grieve for, grieve over, a grieving family, time to grieve. ### examples - And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart.
