=S=> Gen 45,1 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood before 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 .
=S=> Gen 45,2 And he wept aloud : and the Egyptians heard , and the house of Pharaoh heard .
=S=> Gen 45,3 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 .
=S=> Gen 45,4 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 .
=S=> Gen 45,5 And now be not grieved , nor angry with yourselves , that ye sold me hither : for God did send me before you to preserve life .
=S=> Gen 45,6 For these two years hath the famine been in the land : and there are yet five years , in which there shall be neither plowing nor harvest .
=S=> Gen 45,7 And God sent me before you to preserve you a remnant in the earth , and to save you alive by a great deliverance .
=S=> Gen 45,8 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 ruler over all the land of Egypt .
=S=> Gen 45,9 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 ;
=S=> 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 :
=S=> Gen 45,11 and there will I nourish thee ; for there are yet five years of famine ; lest thou come to poverty , thou , and thy household , and all that thou hast .
=S=> Gen 45,12 And , behold , your eyes see , and the eyes of my brother Benjamin , that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you .
=S=> 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 .
=S=> Gen 45,14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck , and wept ; and Benjamin wept upon his neck .
=S=> Gen 45,15 And he kissed all his brethren , and wept upon them : and after that his brethren talked with him .
=S=> Gen 45,16 And the report thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house , saying , Joseph's brethren are come : and it pleased Pharaoh well , and his servants .
=S=> 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 ;
=S=> 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 .
=S=> 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 .
=S=> Gen 45,20 Also regard not your stuff ; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours .
=S=> Gen 45,21 And the sons of Israel did so : and Joseph gave them wagons , according to the commandment of Pharaoh , and gave them provision for the way .
=S=> 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 .
=S=> 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 grain and bread and provision for his father by the way .
=S=> 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 .
=S=> Gen 45,25 And they went up out of Egypt , and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father .
=S=> Gen 45,26 And they told him , saying , Joseph is yet alive , and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt . And his heart fainted , for he believed them not .
=S=> 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 :
=S=> Gen 45,28 and Israel said , It is enough ; Joseph my son is yet alive : I will go and see him before I die .
