Genesis 45:27 - Prayer Tents

45Joseph could no longer keep his composure in front of all his attendants, so he called out, "Send everyone away from me!" No one was with him when he revealed his identity to his brothers.H3130H3201H662H5324H7121H3318H376H3318H5975H376H3130H3045H251 2But he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and also Pharaoh's household heard it.H6963H1065H5414H4714H1004H6547H8085H8085 3Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Is my father still living?" But his brothers were too terrified to answer him.H3130H559H251H3130H1H2416H251H3201H6030H926H6440 4Then Joseph said to his brothers, "Please, come near me," and they came near. "I am Joseph, your brother," he said, "the one you sold into Egypt.H3130H559H251H5066H5066H559H3130H251H4376H4714 5And now don't be worried or angry with yourselves for selling me here, because God sent me ahead of you to preserve life.H6087H2734H5869H4376H430H7971H6440H4241 6For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there will be five more years without plowing or harvesting.H8141H7458H7130H776H2568H8141H369H2758H7105 7God sent me ahead of you to establish you as a remnant within the land and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.H430H7971H6440H7760H7611H776H2421H1419H6413 8Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.H7971H430H7760H1H6547H113H1004H4910H776H4714 9"Return quickly to my father and say to him, 'This is what your son Joseph says: "God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me without delay.H4116H5927H1H559H559H1121H3130H430H7760H113H4714H3381H5975 10You can settle in the land of Goshen and be near me— you, your children, and grandchildren, your sheep, cattle, and all you have.H3427H776H1657H7138H1121H1121H1121H6629H1241 11There I will sustain you, for there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise, you, your household, and everything you have will become destitute."'H3557H2568H8141H7458H1004H3423 12Look! Your eyes and my brother Benjamin's eyes can see that it is I [, Joseph,] who am speaking to you.H5869H7200H5869H251H1144H6310H1696 13Tell my father all about my glory in Egypt and about all you have seen. And bring my father here quickly."H5046H1H3519H4714H7200H4116H3381H1 14Then Joseph threw his arms around Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept on his shoulder.H5307H251H1144H6677H1058H1144H1058H6677 15Joseph kissed each of his brothers as he wept, and afterward his brothers talked with him.H5401H251H1058H310H251H1696 16When the news reached Pharaoh's house, "Joseph's brothers have come," Pharaoh and his servants were pleased.H6963H8085H6547H1004H559H3130H251H935H3190H5869H6547H3190H5869H5869H5650 17Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and go on back to the land of Canaan.H6547H559H3130H559H251H6213H2943H1165H3212H935H776H3667 18Get your father and your households, and come back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you can eat from the richness of the land.'H3947H1H1004H935H5414H2898H776H4714H398H2459H776 19You are also commanded, 'Do this: Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your young children, your wives, and bring your father here.H6680H6213H3947H5699H776H4714H2945H802H5375H1H935 20Do not be concerned about your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.'"H5869H2347H3627H2898H776H4714 21The sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had commanded, and he gave them provisions for the journey.H1121H3478H6213H3130H5414H5699H6310H6547H5414H6720H1870 22He gave each of the brothers changes of clothes, but he gave Benjamin 300 pieces of silver and five changes of clothes.H5414H376H2487H8071H1144H5414H7969H3967H3701H2568H2487H8071 23He sent his father the following: 10 donkeys carrying the best products of Egypt, and 10 female donkeys carrying grain, food, and provisions for his father on the journey.H1H7971H2063H6235H860H5375H2898H4714H6235H2543H5375H1250H3899H4202H1H1870 24So Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, "Don't argue on the way."H7971H251H7971H3212H559H7264H1870 25So they went up from Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.H5927H4714H935H776H3667H3290H1 26They said, "Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt!" Jacob was stunned, for he did not believe them.H5046H559H3130H2416H4910H776H4714H3820H6313H539 27But when they told Jacob all that Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to transport him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.H1696H1697H3130H1696H7200H5699H3130H7971H5375H7307H3290H1H2421 28Then Israel said, "Enough! My son Joseph is still alive. I will go to see him before I die."H3478H559H7227H3130H1121H2416H3212H7200H4191
