Genesis 45:5-15

5Now therefore be not grievedH6087, nor angryH2734 with yourselvesH5869, that ye soldH4376 me here: for GodH430 sentH7971 me before youH6440 to preserve lifeH4241.1 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 deliveranceH6413.2 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.
