Genesis 45:27 - Prayer Tents

45Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried out, "Send everyone away from me." So no one stayed with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.H3130H3201H662H5324H7121H3318H376H3318H5975H376H3130H3045H251 2And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard it.H6963H1065H5414H4714H1004H6547H8085H8085 3Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?" But his brothers could not answer him, so dismayed were they at his presence.H3130H559H251H3130H1H2416H251H3201H6030H926H6440 4Then Joseph said to his brothers, "Come closer to me." And they came closer. He said, "I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.H3130H559H251H5066H5066H559H3130H251H4376H4714 5And now do not be distressed, or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life.H6087H2734H5869H4376H430H7971H6440H4241 6For the famine has been in the land these two years; and there are five more years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.H8141H7458H7130H776H2568H8141H369H2758H7105 7God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors.H430H7971H6440H7760H7611H776H2421H1419H6413 8So it was not you who sent me here, but God; he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt.H7971H430H7760H1H6547H113H1004H4910H776H4714 9Hurry and go up to my father and say to him, 'Thus says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not delay.H4116H5927H1H559H559H1121H3130H430H7760H113H4714H3381H5975 10You shall settle in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your children's children, as well as your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.H3427H776H1657H7138H1121H1121H1121H6629H1241 11I will provide for you there—since there are five more years of famine to come—so that you and your household, and all that you have, will not come to poverty.'H3557H2568H8141H7458H1004H3423 12And now your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my own mouth that speaks to you.H5869H7200H5869H251H1144H6310H1696 13You must tell my father how greatly I am honored in Egypt, and all that you have seen. Hurry and bring my father down here."H5046H1H3519H4714H7200H4116H3381H1 14Then he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, while Benjamin wept upon his neck.H5307H251H1144H6677H1058H1144H1058H6677 15And he kissed all his brothers and wept upon them; and after that his brothers talked with him.H5401H251H1058H310H251H1696 16When the report was heard in Pharaoh's house, "Joseph's brothers have come," Pharaoh and his servants were pleased.H6963H8085H6547H1004H559H3130H251H935H3190H5869H6547H3190H5869H5869H5650 17Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Say to your brothers, 'Do this: load your animals and go back to the land of Canaan.H6547H559H3130H559H251H6213H2943H1165H3212H935H776H3667 18Take your father and your households and come to me, so that I may give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you may enjoy the fat of the land.'H3947H1H1004H935H5414H2898H776H4714H398H2459H776 19You are further charged to say, 'Do this: take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.H6680H6213H3947H5699H776H4714H2945H802H5375H1H935 20Give no thought to your possessions, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.'"H5869H2347H3627H2898H776H4714 21The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons according to the instruction of Pharaoh, and he gave them provisions for the journey.H1121H3478H6213H3130H5414H5699H6310H6547H5414H6720H1870 22To each one of them he gave a set of garments; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five sets of garments.H5414H376H2487H8071H1144H5414H7969H3967H3701H2568H2487H8071 23To his father he sent the following: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and provision for his father on the journey.H1H7971H2063H6235H860H5375H2898H4714H6235H2543H5375H1250H3899H4202H1H1870 24Then he sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving he said to them, "Do not quarrel along the way."H7971H251H7971H3212H559H7264H1870 25So they went up out of Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.H5927H4714H935H776H3667H3290H1 26And they told him, "Joseph is still alive! He is even ruler over all the land of Egypt." He was stunned; he could not believe them.H5046H559H3130H2416H4910H776H4714H3820H6313H539 27But when they told him all the words of Joseph that he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.H1696H1697H3130H1696H7200H5699H3130H7971H5375H7307H3290H1H2421 28Israel said, "Enough! My son Joseph is still alive. I must go and see him before I die."H3478H559H7227H3130H1121H2416H3212H7200H4191
