[1]Then JosephH3130 couldH3201 H8804not refrainH662 H8692himself before all them that stoodH5324 H8737by him; and he criedH7121 , H8799CauseH3318 every manH376 to go outH3318 H8685from me. And there stoodH5975 H8804no manH376 with him, while JosephH3130 made himself knownH3045 H8692unto his brethrenH251.
[2]And he weptH6963 H1065aloudH5414 : H8799and the EgyptiansH4714 and the houseH1004 of PharaohH6547 heardH8085[H8799].H8085[H8799]
[3]And JosephH3130 saidH559 H8799unto his brethrenH251, I am JosephH3130; doth my fatherH1 yet liveH2416? And his brethrenH251 couldH3201 H8804not answerH6030 H8800him; for they were troubledH926 H8738at his presenceH6440.
[4]And JosephH3130 saidH559 H8799unto his brethrenH251, Come nearH5066 H8798to me, I pray you. And they came nearH5066 . H8799And he saidH559 , H8799I am JosephH3130 your brotherH251, whom ye soldH4376 H8804into EgyptH4714.
[5]Now therefore be not grievedH6087 , H8735nor angryH2734 H8799with yourselvesH5869, that ye soldH4376 H8804me hither: for GodH430 did sendH7971 H8804me before youH6440 to preserve lifeH4241.
[6]For these two yearsH8141 hath the famineH7458 been inH7130 the landH776: and yet there are fiveH2568 yearsH8141, in the which there shall neitherH369 be earingH2758 nor harvestH7105.
[7]And GodH430 sentH7971 H8799me before youH6440 to preserveH7760 H8800you a posterityH7611 in the earthH776, and to save your livesH2421 H8687by a greatH1419 deliveranceH6413.
[8]So now it was not you that sentH7971 H8804me hither, but GodH430: and he hath madeH7760 H8799me a fatherH1 to PharaohH6547, and lordH113 of all his houseH1004, and a rulerH4910 H8802throughout all the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
[9]HasteH4116 H8761ye, and go upH5927 H8798to my fatherH1, and sayH559 H8804unto him, Thus saithH559 H8804thy sonH1121 JosephH3130, GodH430 hath madeH7760 H8804me lordH113 of all EgyptH4714: come downH3381 H8798unto me, tarryH5975 notH8799:
[10]And thou shalt dwellH3427 H8804in the landH776 of GoshenH1657, and thou shalt be nearH7138 unto me, thou, and thy childrenH1121, and thy children'sH1121 childrenH1121, and thy flocksH6629, and thy herds, and all that thou hastH1241:
[11]And there will I nourishH3557 H8773thee; for yet there are fiveH2568 yearsH8141 of famineH7458; lest thou, and thy householdH1004, and all that thou hast, come to povertyH3423.[H8735]
[12]And, behold, your eyesH5869 seeH7200 , H8802and the eyesH5869 of my brotherH251 BenjaminH1144, that it is my mouthH6310 that speakethH1696 unto youH8764.
[13]And ye shall tellH5046 H8689my fatherH1 of all my gloryH3519 in EgyptH4714, and of all that ye have seenH7200 ; H8804and ye shall hasteH4116 H8765and bring downH3381 H8689my father hitherH1.
[14]And he fellH5307 H8799upon his brotherH251 Benjamin'sH1144 neckH6677, and weptH1058 ; H8799and BenjaminH1144 weptH1058 H8804upon his neckH6677.
[15]Moreover he kissedH5401 H8762all his brethrenH251, and weptH1058 H8799upon them: and afterH310 that his brethrenH251 talkedH1696 with himH8765.
[16]And the fameH6963 thereof was heardH8085 H8738in Pharaoh'sH6547 houseH1004, sayingH559 , H8800Joseph'sH3130 brethrenH251 are comeH935 : H8804and it pleasedH3190 H5869PharaohH6547 wellH3190[H8799], H5869andH5869 his servantsH5650.
[17]And PharaohH6547 saidH559 H8799unto JosephH3130, SayH559 H8798unto thy brethrenH251, This doH6213 H8798ye; ladeH2943 H8798your beastsH1165, and goH3212 , H8798getH935 H8798you unto the landH776 of CanaanH3667;
[18]And takeH3947 H8798your fatherH1 and your householdsH1004, and comeH935 H8798unto me: and I will giveH5414 H8799you the goodH2898 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and ye shall eatH398 H8798the fatH2459 of the landH776.
[19]Now thou art commandedH6680 , H8795this doH6213 H8798ye; takeH3947 H8798you wagonsH5699 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for your little onesH2945, and for your wivesH802, and bringH5375 H8804your fatherH1, and comeH935.[H8804]
[20]AlsoH5869 regardH2347 H8799not your stuffH3627; for the goodH2898 of all the landH776 of Egypt is yoursH4714.
[21]And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 didH6213 H8799so: and JosephH3130 gaveH5414 H8799them wagonsH5699, according to the commandmentH6310 of PharaohH6547, and gaveH5414 H8799them provisionH6720 for the wayH1870.
[22]To all of them he gaveH5414 H8804each manH376 changesH2487 of raimentH8071; but to BenjaminH1144 he gaveH5414 H8804threeH7969 hundredH3967 pieces of silverH3701, and fiveH2568 changesH2487 of raimentH8071.
[23]And to his fatherH1 he sentH7971 H8804after thisH2063 manner; tenH6235 assesH860 ladenH5375 H8802with the good thingsH2898 of EgyptH4714, and tenH6235 she assesH2543 ladenH5375 H8802with cornH1250 and breadH3899 and meatH4202 for his fatherH1 by the wayH1870.
[24]So he sentH7971 his brethrenH251 awayH7971 , H8762and they departedH3212 : H8799and he saidH559 H8799unto them, See that ye fall not outH7264 H8799by the wayH1870.
[25]And they went upH5927 H8799out of EgyptH4714, and cameH935 H8799into the landH776 of CanaanH3667 unto JacobH3290 their fatherH1,
[26]And toldH5046 H8686him, sayingH559 , H8800JosephH3130 is yet aliveH2416, and he is governorH4910 H8802over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714. And Jacob's heartH3820 faintedH6313 , H8799for he believedH539 them notH8689.
[27]And they toldH1696 H8762him all the wordsH1697 of JosephH3130, which he had saidH1696 H8765unto them: and when he sawH7200 H8799the wagonsH5699 which JosephH3130 had sentH7971 H8804to carryH5375 H8800him, the spiritH7307 of JacobH3290 their fatherH1 revivedH2421:[H8799]
[28]And IsraelH3478 saidH559 , H8799It is enoughH7227; JosephH3130 my sonH1121 is yet aliveH2416: I will goH3212 H8799and see himH7200 H8799before I dieH4191.[H8799]
