45Then Joseph could not restrain himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried out, "Make everyone go out from me!" So no one stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.H3130H3201H662H5324H7121H3318H376H3318H5975H376H3130H3045H251 2And he wept aloud, and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard it.H6963H1065H5414H4714H1004H6547H8085H8085 3Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph; does my father still live?" But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed in his presence.H3130H559H251H3130H1H2416H251H3201H6030H926H6440 4And Joseph said to his brothers, "Please come near to me." So they came near. Then he said: "I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.H3130H559H251H5066H5066H559H3130H251H4376H4714 5"But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life.H6087H2734H5869H4376H430H7971H6440H4241 6"For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting.H8141H7458H7130H776H2568H8141H369H2758H7105 7"And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.H430H7971H6440H7760H7611H776H2421H1419H6413 8"So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.H7971H430H7760H1H6547H113H1004H4910H776H4714 9"Hurry 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 tarry.H4116H5927H1H559H559H1121H3130H430H7760H113H4714H3381H5975 10"You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near to me, you and your children, your children's children, your flocks and your herds, and all that you have.H3427H776H1657H7138H1121H1121H1121H6629H1241 11"There I will provide for you, lest you and your household, and all that you have, come to poverty; for there are still five years of famine."'H3557H2568H8141H7458H1004H3423 12"And behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that speaks to you.H5869H7200H5869H251H1144H6310H1696 13"So you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen; and you shall hurry and bring my father down here."H5046H1H3519H4714H7200H4116H3381H1 14Then he fell on his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.H5307H251H1144H6677H1058H1144H1058H6677 15Moreover he kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers talked with him.H5401H251H1058H310H251H1696 16Now the report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." So it pleased Pharaoh and his servants well.H6963H8085H6547H1004H559H3130H251H935H3190H5869H6547H3190H5869H5869H5650 17And Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Say to your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and depart; go to the land of Canaan.H6547H559H3130H559H251H6213H2943H1165H3212H935H776H3667 18'Bring your father and your households and come to me; I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.H3947H1H1004H935H5414H2898H776H4714H398H2459H776 19'Now you are commanded—do this: Take carts out of the land of Egypt for your little ones and your wives; bring your father and come.H6680H6213H3947H5699H776H4714H2945H802H5375H1H935 20'Also do not be concerned about your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.'"H5869H2347H3627H2898H776H4714 21Then the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them carts, according to the command of Pharaoh, and he gave them provisions for the journey.H1121H3478H6213H3130H5414H5699H6310H6547H5414H6720H1870 22He gave to all of them, to each man, changes of garments; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of garments.H5414H376H2487H8071H1144H5414H7969H3967H3701H2568H2487H8071 23And he sent to his father these things: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and food for his father for the journey.H1H7971H2063H6235H860H5375H2898H4714H6235H2543H5375H1250H3899H4202H1H1870 24So he sent his brothers away, and they departed; and he said to them, "See that you do not become troubled along the way."H7971H251H7971H3212H559H7264H1870 25Then they went up out of Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.H5927H4714H935H776H3667H3290H1 26And they told him, saying, "Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt." And Jacob's heart stood still, because he did not believe them.H5046H559H3130H2416H4910H776H4714H3820H6313H539 27But when they told him all the words which Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.H1696H1697H3130H1696H7200H5699H3130H7971H5375H7307H3290H1H2421 28Then Israel said, "It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."H3478H559H7227H3130H1121H2416H3212H7200H4191
