1
Then Joseph
could
not control
himself before all
those who stood
by him, and he cried,
"Have everyone
go
out from me." So there was no
man
with him when Joseph
made himself known
to his brothers.
2
He wept
so loudly
that the Egyptians
heard
it, and the household
of Pharaoh
heard
of it.
3
Then Joseph
said
to his brothers,
"I am Joseph!
Is my father
still
alive?"
But his brothers
could
not answer
him, for they were dismayed
at his presence.
4
Then Joseph
said
to his brothers,
"Please
come
closer to me." And they came closer.
And he
said
,
"I am your brother
Joseph,
whom
you sold
into Egypt.
5
"Now
do not be grieved
or angry
with yourselves,
because
you sold
me here,
for God
sent
me before
you to preserve life.
6
"For the famine
has been in the land
these
two
years
,
and there are still
five
years
in which
there will be neither
plowing
nor
harvesting.
7
"God
sent
me before
you to preserve
for you a remnant
in the earth,
and to keep you alive
by a great
deliverance.
8
"Now,
therefore, it was not you who sent
me here,
but God;
and He has made
me a father
to Pharaoh
and lord
of all
his household
and ruler
over all
the land
of Egypt.
9
"Hurry
and go
up to my father,
and say
to him, 'Thus
says
your son
Joseph,
"God
has made
me lord
of all
Egypt;
come down
to me, do not delay.
10
"You shall live
in the land
of Goshen,
and you shall be near
me, you and your
children
and your
children
's
children
and your flocks
and your herds
and all
that you have.
11
"There
I will also provide
for you, for there are still
five
years
of famine
to come, and you and your household
and all
that you have would be impoverished."'
12
"Behold,
your eyes
see,
and the eyes
of my brother
Benjamin
see,
that it is my mouth
which is speaking
to you.
13
"Now you must tell
my father
of all
my splendor
in Egypt,
and all
that you have seen;
and you must hurry
and bring
my father
down
here."
14
Then he fell
on his brother
Benjamin's
neck
and
wept
,
and Benjamin
wept
on his
neck
.
15
He kissed
all
his brothers
and wept
on them, and afterward
his brothers
talked
with him.
16
Now when the news
was heard
in
Pharaoh
's
house
that Joseph's
brothers
had come,
it pleased
Pharaoh
and his servants.
17
Then Pharaoh
said
to Joseph,
"Say
to your brothers,
'Do
this:
load
your beasts
and go
to the land
of Canaan,
18
and take
your father
and your households
and come
to me, and I will give
you the best
of the land
of Egypt
and you will eat
the fat
of the land
.'
19
"Now you are ordered,
'Do
this:
take
wagons
from the land
of Egypt
for your little ones
and for your wives,
and bring
your father
and come.
20
'
Do not concern
yourselves
with your goods,
for the best
of all
the land
of Egypt
is yours.'"
21
Then the sons
of Israel
did
so;
and Joseph
gave
them wagons
according
to the command
of Pharaoh,
and
gave
them provisions
for the journey.
22
To each
of them
he gave
changes
of garments,
but to Benjamin
he gave
three
hundred
pieces of silver
and five
changes
of garments.
23
To his father
he sent
as follows:
ten
donkeys
loaded
with the best things
of Egypt,
and
ten
female
donkeys
loaded
with grain
and bread
and sustenance
for his father
on the journey.
24
So he sent
his brothers
away,
and as they departed,
he said
to them, "Do not quarrel
on the journey."
25
Then they went
up from Egypt,
and came
to the land
of Canaan
to their father
Jacob.
26
They told
him, saying,
"Joseph
is still
alive,
and indeed
he is ruler
over all
the land
of Egypt."
But he was stunned,
for he did not believe
them.
27
When they told
him all
the words
of Joseph
that he had spoken
to them, and when he saw
the wagons
that Joseph
had sent
to carry
him, the spirit
of their father
Jacob
revived.
28
Then Israel
said,
"It is enough;
my son
Joseph
is still
alive.
I will go
and see
him before
I die."
