And Joseph could not control himself before all those that stood by him, and he cried, Put every man out from me. And no man stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brethren.
And he gave forth his voice in weeping; and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
And Joseph said to his brethren, I [am] Joseph does my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.
And Joseph said to his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I [am] Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
And now be not grieved, and let it not be an occasion of anger in your eyes, that ye sold me hither; for God sent me before you to preserve life.
For the famine [hath been] these two years in the midst of the land; and [there are] yet five years in which [shall be] neither plowing nor harvest.
And God sent me before you to preserve you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
And now [it was] not you sent me here, but God; and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and governor over all the land of Egypt.
Haste and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down to me, tarry not.
And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near to me, thou and thy sons and thy sons’ sons, and thy flocks and thy herds and all that thou hast.
And there will I nourish thee, for [there are] yet five years of famine; in order that thou be not impoverished, thou and thy household and all that thou hast.
And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that [it is] my mouth which speaketh to you.
And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
And he fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept on his neck.
And he kissed all his brethren, and wept on them; and after that his brethren talked with him.
And the report thereof was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying Joseph’s brethren are come; and it was good in Pharaoh’s eyes and in the eyes of his bondmen.
And Pharaoh said to Joseph, say to thy brethren, Do this: load your beasts and depart; go into the land of Canaan,
and take your father and your households, and come to me; and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
And thou art commanded—this do: take waggons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and fetch your father and come.
And let not your eye regret your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt [is] yours.
And the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them waggons according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
To each one of them all he gave changes of raiment, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred [shekels] of silver and five changes of raiment.
And to his father he sent this: ten asses carrying the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses carrying corn and bread and food for his father by the way.
So he sent his brethren away, and they departed; and he said to them, See that. ye fall not out by the way.
And they went up out of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.
And they told him, saying, Joseph [is] yet alive, and he [is] governor over all the land of Egypt. And his heart became numb, for he did not believe them.
And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had spoken to them; and when he saw the waggons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
And Israel said, [It is] enough; Joseph my son [is] yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
