Genesis 45
Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him;
and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with
him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren. And he wept aloud: and
the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard. And Joseph said unto his
brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father
yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his
presence. And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And
they came near. And he said, I am
Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor
angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you
to preserve life. For these two years hath
the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there
shall neither be earing nor harvest. And God sent me before you to preserve you a
posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was
not you that sent me hither, but God:
and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler
throughout all the land of Egypt. Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say
unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come
down unto me, tarry not: And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou
shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and
thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast: And there will I nourish
thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and
thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty. And, behold, your eyes
see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that
speaketh unto you. And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of
all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither. And
he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his
neck. Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that
his brethren talked with him. And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh’s
house, saying, Joseph’s brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his
servants. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade
your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan; And take your father and
your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of
Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land. Now thou art commanded, this do
ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your
wives, and bring your father, and come. Also regard not your stuff; for the
good of all the land of Egypt is
yours. And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons,
according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way. To
all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three
hundred pieces of silver, and five
changes of raiment. And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she
asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way. So he sent
his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall
not out by the way. And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of
Canaan unto Jacob their father, And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt.
And Jacob’s heart fainted, for he believed them not. And they told him all the
words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which
Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived: And
Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is
yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
Joseph let Judah go on, and heard all he had to say.
