01:045:003 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.
01:045:004 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.
01:045:005 Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry
with yourselves, that
ye
sold me hither: for God did send me before you
to preserve
life.
01:045:006 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.
01:045:007 And God sent me before you to preserve
you a posterity in the
earth,
and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
01:045:008 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.
01:045:009 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:
01:045:010 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:
01:045:011 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.
01:045:012 And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes
of my brother
Benjamin,
that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
01:045:013 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.
01:045:014 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin’s
neck, and wept; and
Benjamin
wept upon his neck.
01:045:015 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and
wept upon them: and
after
that his brethren talked with him.
01:045:016 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh’s
house, saying,
Joseph’s
brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well,
and
his
servants.
01:045:017 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto
thy brethren, This do
ye;
lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of
Canaan;
01:045:018 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.
01:045:019 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.
