Then Joseph couldn't control himself before all those who stood before him, and he cried, "Cause everyone to go out from me!" No one else stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.

Now don't be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, please." They came near. "He said, I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.

So now it wasn't you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Does my father still live?" His brothers couldn't answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.

The report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.

Hurry, and go up to my father, and tell him, 'This is what your son Joseph says, "God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Don't wait.

You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children's children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.

For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.

Take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.'

So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, "See that you don't quarrel on the way."

They told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. When he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, revived.

He gave each one of them changes of clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.

They told him, saying, "Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt." His heart fainted, for he didn't believe them.

He fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.

Israel said, "It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."

He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.

They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.

He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him.

There I will nourish you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have."'

Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this. Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan.

He sent the following to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.

Also, don't concern yourselves about your belongings, for the good of all of the land of Egypt is yours."

Now you are commanded: do this. Take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.

You shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. You shall hurry and bring my father down here."

Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.

The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
