Genesis 45:5-15

5And now, be not grieved, and be not angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither, for 1God sent me before you to preserve life.

6For the famine has been these two years in the land; and yet there are five years in which there will be neither ploughing nor harvest.

7So 2God sent me before you to preserve you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.

8And now it was not you [that] sent me here, but 3God; and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and governor over all the land of Egypt.

9Haste and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says thy son Joseph: 4God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, tarry not.

10And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near to me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, and thy sheep, and thy cattle, and all that thou hast.

11And there will I maintain thee; for yet there are five years of famine; in order that thou be not impoverished, thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast.

12And behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which speaks to you.

13And tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen, and haste and bring down my father hither.

14And he fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept on his neck.

15And he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them; and after that his brethren talked with him.
