Genesis 45

1Then JosephH3130 could not refrain himself before all them that stoodH5975 by him; and he cried, Cause every manH376 to goH3318 out from me. And there stoodH5975 no manH376 with him, while JosephH3130 madeH3045 himself knownH3045 unto his brethren. 2And he weptH1065 aloud: and the EgyptiansH4713 heardH8085, and the houseH1004 of PharaohH6547 heardH8085. 3And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his brethren, I am JosephH3130; doth my fatherH1 yetH5750 live? And his brethren could not answerH6030 him; for they were troubled at his presenceH6440. 4And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he saidH559, I am JosephH3130 your brotherH251, whom ye soldH4376 into EgyptH4714. 5And nowH6258 be not grieved, nor angryH2734 with yourselves, that ye soldH4376 me hither: for GodH430 did sendH7971 me before you to preserve life. 6For these two yearsH8141 hath the famineH7458 been in the landH776: and there are yetH5750 fiveH2568 yearsH8141, in which there shall be neither plowingH2758 nor harvestH7105. 7And GodH430 sentH7971 me before you to preserve you a remnantH7611 in the earthH776, and to save you aliveH2421 by a greatH1419 deliveranceH6413. 8So nowH6258 it was not you that sentH7971 me hither, but GodH430: and he hath madeH7760 me a fatherH1 to PharaohH6547, and lordH113 of all his houseH1004, and rulerH4910 over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 9HasteH4116 ye, and goH5927 up to my fatherH1, and sayH559 unto him, ThusH3541 saith thy sonH1121 JosephH3130, GodH430 hath madeH7760 me lordH113 of all EgyptH4714: comeH5927 down unto me, tarry not; 10and thou shalt dwellH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657, and thou shalt beH1961 near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocksH6629, and thy herdsH1241, and all that thou hast: 11and there will I nourish thee; for there are yetH5750 fiveH2568 yearsH8141 of famineH7458; lestH6435 thou come to poverty, thou, and thy householdH1004, and all that thou hast. 12And, behold, your eyesH5869 seeH7200, and the eyesH5869 of my brotherH251 BenjaminH1144, that it is my mouthH6310 that speaketh unto you. 13And ye shall tellH5046 my fatherH1 of all my gloryH3519 in EgyptH4714, and of all that ye have seenH7200: and ye shall hasteH4116 and bringH3381 down my fatherH1 hither. 14And he fellH5307 upon his brotherH251 Benjamin’s neckH6677, and weptH1058; and BenjaminH1144 weptH1058 upon his neckH6677. 15And he kissedH5401 all his brethren, and weptH1058 upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.

16And the report thereof was heardH8085 in Pharaoh’s houseH1004, sayingH559, Joseph’s brethren are comeH935: and it pleased PharaohH6547 wellH3190, and his servantsH5650. 17And PharaohH6547 saidH559 unto JosephH3130, SayH559 unto thy brethren, This do ye: lade your beasts, and goH935, get you unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667; 18and takeH3947 your fatherH1 and your householdsH1004, and comeH935 unto me: and I will giveH5414 you the goodH2898 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and ye shall eatH398 the fatH2459 of the landH776. 19Now thou art commandedH6680, this do ye: takeH3947 you wagons out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for your littleH2945 onesH2945, and for your wivesH802, and bringH935 your fatherH1, and comeH935. 20Also regard not your stuff; for the goodH2898 of all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 is yours.

21And the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 did soH3651: and JosephH3130 gaveH5414 them wagons, according to the commandment of PharaohH6547, and gaveH5414 them provision for the wayH1870. 22To all of them he gaveH5414 each manH376 changes of raiment; but to BenjaminH1144 he gaveH5414 threeH7969 hundredH3967 pieces of silverH3701, and fiveH2568 changes of raiment. 23And to his fatherH1 he sentH7971 after this manner: tenH6235 asses laden with the goodH2898 thingsH2898 of EgyptH4714, and tenH6235 she-asses laden with grainH1250 and breadH3899 and provision for his fatherH1 by the wayH1870. 24So he sentH7971 his brethren awayH7971, and they departed: and he saidH559 unto them, See that ye fall not out by the wayH1870. 25And they wentH935 up out of EgyptH4714, and cameH935 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667 unto JacobH3290 their fatherH1. 26And they toldH5046 him, sayingH559, JosephH3130 is yetH5750 aliveH2416, and he is rulerH4910 over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714. And his heartH3820 fainted, for he believedH539 them not. 27And they told him all the wordsH1697 of JosephH3130, which he had saidH1696 unto them: and whenH834 he sawH7200 the wagons which JosephH3130 had sentH7971 to carryH5375 him, the spiritH7307 of JacobH3290 their fatherH1 revived: 28and IsraelH3478 saidH559, It is enoughH7227; JosephH3130 my sonH1121 is yetH5750 aliveH2416: I will go and seeH7200 him before I dieH4191.
