- 1
- Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants,
- and he cried out, "Have everyone leave my presence!"
- So there was no one with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers.
- 2
- And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him,
- and Pharaoh's household heard about it.
- 3
- Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Is my father still living?"
- But his brothers were not able to answer him,
- because they were terrified at his presence.
- 4
- Then Joseph said to his brothers, "Come close to me."
- When they had done so, he said, "I am your brother Joseph,
- the one you sold into Egypt!
- 5
- And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves
- for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.
- 6
- For two years now there has been famine in the land,
- and for the next five years there will not be plowing and reaping.
- 7
- But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth
- and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
- 8
- "So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God.
- He made me father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt.
- 9
- Now hurry back to my father and say to him, `This is what your son Joseph says:
- God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; don't delay.
- 10
- You shall live in the region of Goshen and be near me--
- you, your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and all you have.
- 11
- I will provide for you there, because five years of famine are still to come.
- Otherwise you and your household and
- all who belong to you will become destitute.'
- 12
- "You can see for yourselves, and so can my brother Benjamin,
- that it is really I who am speaking to you.
- 13
- Tell my father about all the honor accorded me in Egypt and
- about everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly."
- 14
- Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept,
- and Benjamin embraced him, weeping.
- 15
- And he kissed all his brothers and wept over them.
- Afterward his brothers talked with him.
- 16
- When the news reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had come,
- Pharaoh and all his officials were pleased.
- 17
- Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, `Do this:
- Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan,
- 18
- and bring your father and your families back to me.
- I will give you the best of the land of Egypt and you can enjoy the fat of the land.'
- 19
- "You are also directed to tell them, `Do this: Take some carts
- from Egypt for your children and your wives, and get your father and come.
- 20
- Never mind about your belongings, because the best of all Egypt will be yours.'"
- 21
- So the sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them carts,
- as Pharaoh had commanded, and he also gave them provisions for their journey.
- 22
- To each of them he gave new clothing, but to Benjamin
- he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes.
- 23
- And this is what he sent to his father:
- ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt,
- and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread
- and other provisions for his journey.
- 24
- Then he sent his brothers away, and as they were leaving he said to them,
- "Don't quarrel on the way!"
- 25
- So they went up out of Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.
- 26
- They told him, "Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is ruler of all Egypt."
- Jacob was stunned; he did not believe them.
- 27
- But when they told him everything Joseph had said to them,
- and when he saw the carts Joseph had sent to carry him back,
- the spirit of their father Jacob revived.
- 28
- And Israel said, "I'm convinced! My son Joseph is still alive.
- I will go and see him before I die."
