Genesis 45:1-15
1Then JosephH3130 couldH3201 notH3808 refrainH3808 himselfH3045 beforeH413 allH3605 them that stoodH5975 by him; and he criedH7121, CauseH7121 everyH3605 manH376 to goH3318 outH3318 from meH413. And there stoodH5975 noH3808 manH376 with him, whileH5921 JosephH3130 madeH3045 himselfH3045 knownH3045 unto his brethrenH251.
2And he weptH1065 aloudH8085: and the EgyptiansH4713 heardH8085, and the houseH1004 of PharaohH6547 heardH8085.
3And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his brethrenH251, I am JosephH3130; doth my fatherH1 yet liveH2416? And his brethrenH251 couldH3201 notH3808 answerH6030 him; for they were troubled at his presenceH6440.
4And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto his brethrenH251, ComeH5066 nearH5066 to meH413, I prayH4994 youH834. And they cameH5066 nearH5066. And he saidH559, I am JosephH3130 your brotherH251, whomH834 ye soldH4376 intoH413 EgyptH4714.
5And nowH6258 be notH408 grievedH6087, norH408 angryH2734 with yourselves, that ye soldH4376 meH7971 hither: for GodH430 did sendH7971 meH7971 beforeH6440 youH3588 to preserveH4241 lifeH4241.
6For theseH2088 twoH2088 yearsH8141 hath the famineH7458 been in the landH776: and there are yet fiveH2568 yearsH8141, in the whichH834 there shall be neitherH369 plowingH2758 norH369 harvestH7105.
7And GodH430 sentH7971 meH7971 beforeH6440 youH6440 to preserveH7760 youH6440 a remnantH7611 in the earthH776, and to save youH6440 aliveH2421 by a greatH1419 deliveranceH6413.
8SoH7971 nowH6258 it was notH3808 youH859 that sentH7971 meH7971 hither, but GodH430: and he hath madeH7760 meH7971 a fatherH1 to PharaohH6547, and lordH113 of allH3605 his houseH1004, and rulerH4910 over allH3605 the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
9HasteH4116 ye, and goH5927 upH5927 to my fatherH1, and sayH559 unto him, ThusH3541 saith thy sonH1121 JosephH3130, GodH430 hath madeH7760 meH413 lordH113 of allH3605 EgyptH4714: comeH5927 downH3381 unto meH413, tarry notH408:
10and thou shalt dwellH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657, and thou shalt be nearH7138 unto meH413, thou, and thy childrenH1121, and thy children’sH1121 childrenH1121, and thy flocksH6629, and thy herdsH1241, and allH3605 that thou hast:
11and there will I nourishH3557 thee; for there are yet fiveH2568 yearsH8141 of famineH7458; lestH6435 thou comeH3423 to povertyH3423, thou, and thy householdH1004, and allH3605 that thou hast.
12And, beholdH2009, your eyesH5869 seeH7200, and the eyesH5869 of my brotherH251 BenjaminH1144, that it is my mouthH6310 that speaketh unto youH3588.
13And ye shall tellH5046 my fatherH1 of allH3605 my gloryH3519 in EgyptH4714, and of allH3605 that ye have seenH7200; and ye shall hasteH4116 and bringH3381 downH3381 my fatherH1 hither.
14And he fellH5307 uponH5921 his brotherH251 Benjamin’sH1144 neckH6677, and weptH1058; and BenjaminH1144 weptH1058 uponH5921 his neckH6677.
15And he kissedH5401 allH3605 his brethrenH251, and weptH1058 uponH5921 them: and afterH310 that his brethrenH251 talkedH1696 with him.
