1 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried , Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren . 2 And he wept aloud : and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard .1 3 And Joseph said unto his brethren , I am Joseph ; doth my father yet live ? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence .2 4 And Joseph said unto 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 . 5 Now therefore be not grieved , nor angry with yourselves , that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life .3 6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land : and yet there are five years , in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest . 7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth , and to save your lives by a great deliverance .4 8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God : and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh , and lord of all his house , and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt . 9 Haste ye, and go up to my father , and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph , God hath made me lord of all Egypt : come down unto me, tarry not: 10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen , and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children , and thy children's children , and thy flocks , and thy herds , and all that thou hast: 11 And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine ; lest thou, and thy household , and all that thou hast, come to poverty . 12 And, behold, your eyes see , and the eyes of my brother Benjamin , that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you. 13 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. 14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck , and wept ; and Benjamin wept upon his neck . 15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren , and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
16 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house , saying , Joseph's brethren are come : and it pleased Pharaoh well , and his servants .5 17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph , Say unto thy brethren , This do ye; lade your beasts , and go , get you unto the land of Canaan ; 18 And take your father and your households , and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt , and ye shall eat the fat of the land . 19 Now thou art commanded , this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones , and for your wives , and bring your father , and come . 20 Also regard not your stuff ; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.6 21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons , according to the commandment of Pharaoh , and gave them provision for the way .7 22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment ; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver , and five changes of raiment . 23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt , and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way .8 24 So he sent his brethren away , and they departed : and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way .
25 And they went up out of Egypt , and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father , 26 And told him, saying , Joseph is yet alive , and he is governor over all the land of Egypt . And Jacob's heart fainted , for he believed them not.9 27 And they told him all the words of Joseph , which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived : 28 And Israel said , It is enough ; Joseph my son is yet alive : I will go and see him before I die .
