Genesis 45
International Standard Version Help
45At this point, Joseph could not control his emotions any longer, so he cried out to everyone who was standing nearby, "Everybody get away from me!" As a result, none of his staff was anywhere near him when he revealed himself to his brothers.H3130H3201H662H5324H7121H3318H376H3318H5975H376H3130H3045H251
2He cried so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, including Pharaoh's household.1H6963H1065H5414H4714H1004H6547H8085H8085
3Joseph blurted out, "I'm Joseph! Is my father really alive?" But his brothers could not answer him, because they had become terrified to be in his presence.H3130H559H251H3130H1H2416H251H3201H6030H926H6440
4Joseph implored his brothers, "Please come close to me." So they did. "I'm your brother Joseph," he told them, "whom you sold into slavery in Egypt.H3130H559H251H5066H5066H559H3130H251H4376H4714
5But don't be distressed or angry at yourselves by selling me here, because God sent me ahead of you all in order to deliver us.H6087H2734H5869H4376H430H7971H6440H4241
6That's because this famine has been going on for two years now in this region, and there are still five years left, during which there won't be any plowing or harvesting.5H8141H7458H7130H776H2568H8141H369H2758H7105
7"God sent me ahead of you to preserve you on the earth, and to save you all through a magnificent deliverance.H430H7971H6440H7760H7611H776H2421H1419H6413
8As a result, it wasn't you who sent me here, but God himself! He established me as a father-figure to Pharaoh himself! I'm in charge of his entire palace and ruler over the entire land of Egypt.H7971H430H7760H1H6547H113H1004H4910H776H4714
9So hurry up, go back to my father, and tell him that your son Joseph tells him, 'God has made me master of all of Egypt. Come live with me, and don't delay!'H4116H5927H1H559H559H1121H3130H430H7760H113H4714H3381H5975
10"You are to live in the land of Goshen, near where I am, including you, your children, your grandchildren, your flocks, your herds, and everything that you own.H3427H776H1657H7138H1121H1121H1121H6629H1241
11I'll provide for you there, since there are still five years of famine left to go, and you, your households, and everything you own would have otherwise become impoverished.H3557H2568H8141H7458H1004H3423
12"Look, now! All of you can see me! And my own brother Benjamin can tell that's my own mouth speaking to you!H5869H7200H5869H251H1144H6310H1696
13So go tell my father about all of my splendor in Egypt. Tell him about everything that you've seen. Be quick about it, and bring my father down here!"H5046H1H3519H4714H7200H4116H3381H1
14Then he collapsed on Benjamin's neck and wept while Benjamin wept on his neck.H5307H251H1144H6677H1058H1144H1058H6677
15He kissed all of his brothers and wept on them, too, and then his brothers were able to talk with him.H5401H251H1058H310H251H1696
16As soon as the news reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had arrived, Pharaoh and his servants were ecstatic. 17Pharaoh told Joseph, "Be sure to tell your brothers, 'Do this: load up your livestock, go back to the land of Canaan,H6963H8085H6547H1004H559H3130H251H935H3190H5869H6547H3190H5869H5869H5650
18get your father and your households, and come back to me. I'll give you the best of the land of Egypt and you can live off the abundance of the land.'H3947H1H1004H935H5414H2898H776H4714H398H2459H776
19"In addition," Pharaoh ordered, "Do this: take some transport wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones to ride in, along with your wives, and bring your father and come!H6680H6213H3947H5699H776H4714H2945H802H5375H1H935
20Don't worry about your household goods, because the best of all the land of Egypt is yours."H5869H2347H3627H2898H776H4714
21So Israel's sons did what they were asked to do, and Joseph provided wagons for them, as Pharaoh had commanded. He also gave them provisions for the journey.H1121H3478H6213H3130H5414H5699H6310H6547H5414H6720H1870
22He gave each of them some changes of clothes, but he also gave Benjamin 300 pieces of silver and five changes of clothes.H5414H376H2487H8071H1144H5414H7969H3967H3701H2568H2487H8071
23He sent his father ten male donkeys loaded with the best of Egyptian goods and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and provisions for his father during the journey.H1H7971H2063H6235H860H5375H2898H4714H6235H2543H5375H1250H3899H4202H1H1870
24Then Joseph sent his brothers away, and they left for home. As they were leaving, Joseph admonished them, "Don't quarrel on the way back!"H7971H251H7971H3212H559H7264H1870
25So Joseph's brothers left Egypt and returned to the land of Canaan and to their father Jacob,H5927H4714H935H776H3667H3290H1
26where they informed their father, "Joseph is still alive! As a matter of fact, he's ruling the entire land of Egypt." But Jacob didn't believe them, because his heart had grown numb.H5046H559H3130H2416H4910H776H4714H3820H6313H539
27However, as soon as they had told him everything Joseph had said, and after he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent along to carry him, their father Jacob's spirit was encouraged.H1696H1697H3130H1696H7200H5699H3130H7971H5375H7307H3290H1H2421
28"It's enough," Israel replied. "My son Joseph is still alive. I'm going to go see him before I die!"H3478H559H7227H3130H1121H2416H3212H7200H4191
