Given by: Joseph, explaining his slavery and rise to his brothers, in the book's retelling of Genesis dictated to Moses on Sinai. Given to: his brothers — and through the telling, to all who have been wronged and must make sense of it.

Jubilees, like Genesis, presents Joseph as a model of providential faith; his refusal to read his suffering merely as his brothers' crime, and his insistence on God's purpose, is held up for imitation.

For behold this is the second year of the famine, and there are still five years without harvest or fruit of trees or ploughing. Come down quickly ye and your households, so that ye perish not through the famine, and do not be grieved for your possessions, for the Lord sent me before you to set things in order that many people might live.

Joseph reads the wrong done to him through God's larger purpose — 'the Lord sent me before you that many might live' — releasing the grievance and seeing providence in his suffering.
