Genesis 45:5-15
5NowH6258 do not be grievedH6087 or angryH2734 1with yourselvesH5869 becauseH3588 2you soldH4376 me hereH2008, for 3GodH430 sentH7971 me aheadH6440 of you 4to saveH4241 livesH4241. 6For the famineH7458 has been in the landH776 5theseH2088 two yearsH8141, and there are stillH5750 fiveH2568 yearsH8141 in whichH834 thereH369 willH369 beH369 neitherH369 plowingH2758 norH369 harvestingH7105. 7So 6GodH430 sentH7971 me aheadH6440 of you to ensureH7760 for you a remnantH7611 on the earthH776, and to 7keepH2421 you aliveH2421 by a greatH1419 deliveranceH6413. 8NowH6258, therefore, it was not you who sentH7971 me hereH2008, but GodH430; and He has madeH7760 me a 8fatherH1 to PharaohH6547 and lordH113 of allH3605 his householdH1004, and rulerH4910 over allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 9HurryH4116 and goH5927 upH5927 to my fatherH1, and 9sayH559 to him, ‘ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 your sonH1121 JosephH3130 saysH559: “GodH430 has madeH7760 me lordH113 of allH3605 EgyptH4714; comeH3381 downH3381 to me, do not delayH5975. 10For you shall liveH3427 in the landH776 of 10GoshenH1657, and you shall be nearH7138 me, you and your childrenH1121 and your 11grandchildrenH1121, and your flocksH6629 and your herdsH1241 and allH3605 that you have. 11ThereH8033 I will also 12provideH3557 for you, for there are stillH5750 fiveH2568 yearsH8141 of famineH7458 to come, and you and your householdH1004 and allH3605 that you have would be impoverishedH3423.”’ 12BeholdH2009, your eyesH5869 seeH7200, and the eyesH5869 of my brotherH251 BenjaminH1144 see, that it is my mouthH6310 which is speakingH1696 to you. 13Now you must tellH5046 my fatherH1 of allH3605 my splendorH3519 in EgyptH4714, and allH3605 that you have seenH7200; and you must hurryH4116 and 13bringH3381 my fatherH1 downH3381 hereH2008.” 14Then he fellH5307 on his brotherH251 Benjamin’sH1144 neckH6677 and 14weptH1058, and BenjaminH1144 weptH1058 on his neckH6677. 15And he kissedH5401 allH3605 his brothersH251 and weptH1058 on them, and afterwardH310H3651 his brothersH251 talkedH1696 with him.
