Genesis 45

1Then JosephH3130 couldH3201 not controlH662 himself before all them that stoodH5324 by him; and he criedH7121, CauseH3318 every manH376 to go outH3318 from me. And there stoodH5975 no manH376 with him, while JosephH3130 made himself knownH3045 to his brethrenH251. 2And he weptH6963H1065 aloudH5414: and the EgyptiansH4714 and the houseH1004 of PharaohH6547 heardH8085.1 3And JosephH3130 saidH559 to his brethrenH251, I am JosephH3130; doth my fatherH1 yet liveH2416? And his brethrenH251 couldH3201 not answerH6030 him; for they were terrifiedH926 at his presenceH6440.2 4And JosephH3130 saidH559 to his brethrenH251, Come nearH5066 to me, I pray you. And they came nearH5066. And he saidH559, I am JosephH3130 your brotherH251, whom ye soldH4376 into EgyptH4714. 5Now therefore be not grievedH6087, nor angryH2734 with yourselvesH5869, that ye soldH4376 me here: for GodH430 sentH7971 me before youH6440 to preserve lifeH4241.3 6For these two yearsH8141 hath the famineH7458 been inH7130 the landH776: and yet there are fiveH2568 yearsH8141, in which there shall neitherH369 be tillageH2758 nor harvestH7105. 7And GodH430 sentH7971 me before youH6440 to preserveH7760 for you a posterityH7611 in the earthH776, and to save your livesH2421 by a greatH1419 deliveranceH6413.4 8So now it was not you that sentH7971 me here, but GodH430: and he hath madeH7760 me a fatherH1 to PharaohH6547, and lordH113 of all his houseH1004, and a rulerH4910 throughout all the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 9HasteH4116 ye, and returnH5927 to my fatherH1, and sayH559 to him, Thus saithH559 thy sonH1121 JosephH3130, GodH430 hath madeH7760 me lordH113 of all EgyptH4714: come downH3381 to me, delayH5975 not: 10And thou shalt dwellH3427 in the landH776 of GoshenH1657, and thou shalt be nearH7138 to me, thou, and thy childrenH1121, and thy children’sH1121 childrenH1121, and thy flocksH6629, and thy herdsH1241, and all that thou hast: 11And there will I nourishH3557 thee; for yet there are fiveH2568 yearsH8141 of famineH7458; lest thou, and thy householdH1004, and all that thou hast, should come to povertyH3423. 12And, behold, your eyesH5869 seeH7200, and the eyesH5869 of my brotherH251 BenjaminH1144, that it is my mouthH6310 that speakethH1696 to 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 bring downH3381 my fatherH1 here. 14And he fellH5307 upon his brotherH251 Benjamin’sH1144 neckH6677, and weptH1058; and BenjaminH1144 weptH1058 upon his neckH6677. 15Moreover he kissedH5401 all his brethrenH251, and weptH1058 upon them: and afterH310 that his brethrenH251 talkedH1696 with him.

16And the reportH6963 of this was heardH8085 in Pharaoh’sH6547 houseH1004, sayingH559, Joseph’sH3130 brethrenH251 are comeH935: and it pleasedH3190H5869 PharaohH6547 wellH3190H5869, andH5869 his servantsH5650.5 17And PharaohH6547 saidH559 to JosephH3130, SayH559 to thy brethrenH251, This doH6213 ye; loadH2943 your beastsH1165, and goH3212, returnH935 to the landH776 of CanaanH3667; 18And takeH3947 your fatherH1 and your householdsH1004, and comeH935 to 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 doH6213 ye; takeH3947 for yourselves wagonsH5699 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for your little onesH2945, and for your wivesH802, and bringH5375 your fatherH1, and comeH935. 20AlsoH5869 regardH2347 not your possessionsH3627; for the goodH2898 of all the landH776 of EgyptH4714 is yours.6 21And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 so: and JosephH3130 gaveH5414 them wagonsH5699, according to the commandmentH6310 of PharaohH6547, and gaveH5414 them provisionH6720 for the wayH1870.7 22To all of them he gaveH5414 each manH376 changesH2487 of raimentH8071; but to BenjaminH1144 he gaveH5414 threeH7969 hundredH3967 pieces of silverH3701, and fiveH2568 changesH2487 of raimentH8071. 23And to his fatherH1 he sentH7971 after thisH2063 manner ; tenH6235 donkeysH860 loadedH5375 with the good thingsH2898 of EgyptH4714, and tenH6235 female donkeysH2543 loadedH5375 with grainH1250 and breadH3899 and foodH4202 for his fatherH1 by the wayH1870.8 24So he sentH7971 his brethrenH251 awayH7971, and they departedH3212: and he saidH559 to them, See that ye contend notH7264 by the wayH1870.

25And they went upH5927 from EgyptH4714, and cameH935 into the landH776 of CanaanH3667 to JacobH3290 their fatherH1, 26And toldH5046 him, sayingH559, JosephH3130 is yet aliveH2416, and he is governorH4910 over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714. And Jacob’s heartH3820 faintedH6313, for he believedH539 them not.9 27And they toldH1696 him all the wordsH1697 of JosephH3130, which he had saidH1696 to them: and when he sawH7200 the wagonsH5699 which JosephH3130 had sentH7971 to carryH5375 him, the spiritH7307 of JacobH3290 their fatherH1 revivedH2421: 28And IsraelH3478 saidH559, It is enoughH7227; JosephH3130 my sonH1121 is yet aliveH2416: I will goH3212 and see himH7200 before I dieH4191.
