01_GEN_45_01 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 .
01_GEN_45_02 And he wept aloud : And the Egyptians And the house of Pharaoh heard .
01_GEN_45_03 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 .
01_GEN_45_04 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 .
01_GEN_45_05 now therefore be not grieved , nor angry with yourselves , that ye sold me hither : for God did send me before you to preserve life .
01_GEN_45_06 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 .
01_GEN_45_07 And God sent me before you to preserve you A posterity in the earth , And to save your lives by A great deliverance .
01_GEN_45_08 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 .
01_GEN_45_09 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 :
01_GEN_45_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 :
01_GEN_45_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 .
01_GEN_45_12 And , behold , your eyes see , And the eyes of my brother Benjamin , that [ it Is ] my mouth that speaketh unto you .
01_GEN_45_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 .
01_GEN_45_14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck , And wept ; And Benjamin wept upon his neck .
01_GEN_45_15 moreover he kissed all his brethren , And wept upon them : And after that his brethren talked with him .
01_GEN_45_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 .
01_GEN_45_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 ;
01_GEN_45_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 .
01_GEN_45_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 .
01_GEN_45_20 also regard not your stuff ; for the good of all the land of Egypt [ Is ] yours .
01_GEN_45_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 .
01_GEN_45_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 .
01_GEN_45_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 .
01_GEN_45_24 So he sent his brethren away , And they departed : And he said unto them , see that ye fall not out by the way .
01_GEN_45_25 And they went up out of Egypt , And came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their Father ,
01_GEN_45_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 .
01_GEN_45_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 :
01_GEN_45_28 And Israel said , [ it Is ] enough ; Joseph my son [ Is ] yet alive : I will go And see him before I die .
