1
Then Joseph[H3130]could[H3201] not refrain[H662] himself before all them that stood[H5324] by him; and he cried[H7121], Cause[H3318] every man[H376] to go out[H3318] from me. And there stood[H5975] no man[H376] with him, while Joseph[H3130] made himself known[H3045] unto his brethren[H251].
2
And he wept[H6963]aloud[H5414]: and the Egyptians[H4714] and the house[H1004] of Pharaoh[H6547]heard[H8085].
3
And Joseph[H3130]said[H559] unto his brethren[H251], I am Joseph[H3130]; doth my father[H1] yet live?[H2416] And his brethren[H251]could[H3201] not answer[H6030] him; for they were troubled[H926] at his presence[H6440].
4
And Joseph[H3130]said[H559] unto his brethren[H251], Come near[H5066] to me, I pray you. And they came near[H5066]. And he said[H559], I am Joseph[H3130] your brother[H251], whom ye sold[H4376] into Egypt[H4714].
5
Now therefore be not grieved[H6087], nor angry[H2734] with yourselves[H5869], that ye sold[H4376] me hither: for God[H430] did send[H7971] me before you[H6440] to preserve life[H4241].
6
For these two years[H8141] hath the famine[H7458] been in[H7130] the land[H776]: and yet there are five[H2568]years[H8141], in[H7130] the which there shall neither[H369] be earing[H2758] nor harvest[H7105].
7
And God[H430]sent[H7971] me before you[H6440] to preserve[H7760]you[H6440] a posterity[H7611] in the earth[H776], and to save your lives[H2421] by a great[H1419]deliverance[H6413].
8
So now it was not you that sent[H7971] me hither, but God[H430]: and he hath made[H7760] me a father[H1] to Pharaoh[H6547], and lord[H113] of all his house[H1004], and a ruler[H4910] throughout all the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714].
9Haste[H4116] ye, and go up[H5927] to my father[H1], and say[H559] unto him, Thus saith[H559] thy son[H1121]Joseph[H3130], God[H430] hath made[H7760] me lord[H113] of all Egypt[H4714]: come down[H3381] unto me, tarry[H5975] not:
10
And thou shalt dwell[H3427] in the land[H776] of Goshen[H1657], and thou shalt be near[H7138] unto me, thou, and thy children[H1121], and thy children[H1121]'s children[H1121], and thy flocks[H6629], and thy herds[H1241], and all that thou hast:
11
And there will I nourish[H3557] thee; for yet there are five[H2568]years[H8141] of famine[H7458]; lest thou, and thy household[H1004], and all that thou hast, come to poverty[H3423].
12
And, behold, your eyes[H5869]see[H7200], and the eyes[H5869] of my brother[H251]Benjamin[H1144], that it is my mouth[H6310] that speaketh[H1696] unto you.
13
And ye shall tell[H5046] my father[H1] of all my glory[H3519] in Egypt[H4714], and of all that ye have seen[H7200]; and ye shall haste[H4116] and bring down[H3381] my father[H1] hither.
14
And he fell[H5307] upon his brother[H251]Benjamin[H1144]'s neck[H6677], and wept[H1058]; and Benjamin[H1144]wept[H1058] upon his neck[H6677].
15
Moreover he kissed[H5401] all his brethren[H251], and wept[H1058] upon them: and after[H310] that his brethren[H251]talked[H1696] with him.
16And[H5869] the fame[H6963] thereof was heard[H8085] in Pharaoh[H6547]'s house[H1004], saying[H559], Joseph's brethren[H251] are come[H935]: and[H5869] it pleased[H3190]Pharaoh[H6547]well[H3190], and[H5869] his servants[H5650].
17
And Pharaoh[H6547]said[H559] unto Joseph[H3130], Say[H559] unto thy brethren[H251], This do[H6213] ye; lade[H2943] your beasts[H1165], and go[H3212], get[H935] you unto the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667];
18
And take[H3947] your father[H1] and your households[H1004], and come[H935] unto me: and I will give[H5414] you the good[H2898] of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], and ye shall eat[H398] the fat[H2459] of the land[H776].
19
Now thou art commanded[H6680], this do[H6213] ye; take[H3947] you wagons[H5699] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] for your little ones[H2945], and for your wives[H802], and bring[H5375] your father[H1], and come[H935].
20Also[H5869]regard[H2347] not your stuff[H3627]; for the good[H2898] of all the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714] is yours.
21
And the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]did[H6213] so: and Joseph[H3130]gave[H5414] them wagons[H5699], according to the commandment[H6310] of Pharaoh[H6547], and gave[H5414] them provision[H6720] for the way[H1870].
22
To all of them he gave[H5414] each man[H376]changes[H2487] of raiment[H8071]; but to Benjamin[H1144] he gave[H5414]three[H7969]hundred[H3967] pieces of silver[H3701], and five[H2568]changes[H2487] of raiment[H8071].
23
And to his father[H1] he sent[H7971] after this[H2063] manner; ten[H6235]asses[H860]laden[H5375] with the good things[H2898] of Egypt[H4714], and ten[H6235] she asses[H2543]laden[H5375] with corn[H1250] and bread[H3899] and meat[H4202] for his father[H1] by the way[H1870].
24
So he sent[H7971] his brethren[H251]away[H7971], and they departed[H3212]: and he said[H559] unto them, See that ye fall not out[H7264] by the way[H1870].
25
And they went up[H5927] out of Egypt[H4714], and came[H935] into the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667] unto Jacob[H3290] their father[H1],
26
And told[H5046] him, saying[H559], Joseph[H3130] is yet alive[H2416], and he is governor[H4910] over all the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714]. And Jacob's heart[H3820]fainted[H6313], for he believed[H539] them not.
27
And they told[H1696] him all the words[H1697] of Joseph[H3130], which he had said[H1696] unto them: and when he saw[H7200] the wagons[H5699] which Joseph[H3130] had sent[H7971] to carry[H5375] him, the spirit[H7307] of Jacob[H3290] their father[H1]revived[H2421]:
28
And Israel[H3478]said[H559], It is enough[H7227]; Joseph[H3130] my son[H1121] is yet alive[H2416]: I will go[H3212] and see him[H7200] before I die[H4191].
