New King James Version
Genesis 45:5-15
5But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life.
6For 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.
7And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
8So 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.
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.
10You 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.
11There 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.” ’
12“And behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
13So 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.”
14Then he fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.
15Moreover he kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers talked with him.
