Then Joseph
could
not refrain
himself before all them that stood
by 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.

And he wept
aloud:
and the Egyptians
and the house
of Pharaoh
heard.
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.

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.

Now therefore be not grieved,
nor angry
with yourselves,
that ye sold
me hither: for God
did send
me before you
to preserve life.
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.
And God
sent
me before you
to preserve
you a posterity
in the earth,
and to save your lives
by a great
deliverance.

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.
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:
say
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:

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.
And, behold, your eyes
see,
and the eyes
of my brother
Benjamin,
that it is my mouth
that speaketh
unto you.
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.
And he fell
upon his brother
Benjamin's
neck,
and wept;
and Benjamin
wept
upon his neck.
Moreover he kissed
all his brethren,
and wept
upon them: and after
that his brethren
talked
with him.
And the fame
thereof was heard
in Pharaoh's
house,
saying,
Joseph's
brethren
are come:
and it pleased
Pharaoh
well,
and
his servants.
And Pharaoh
said
unto Joseph,
Say
unto thy brethren,
This do
ye; lade
your beasts,
and go,
get
you unto the land
of Canaan;
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.
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.

And the children
of Israel
did
so: and Joseph
gave
them wagons,
according to the commandment
of Pharaoh,
and gave
them provision
for the way.

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.
And to his father
he sent
after this
manner; ten
asses
laden
with the good things
of Egypt,
and ten

laden
with corn
and bread
and meat
for his father
by the way.

So he sent
his brethren
away,
and they departed:
and he said
unto them, See that ye fall not out
by the way.
And they went up
out of Egypt,
and came
into the land
of Canaan
unto Jacob
their father,
And told
him, saying,
Joseph
is yet alive,
and he is governor
over all the land
of Egypt.
And Jacob's heart
fainted,
for he believed
them not.
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:

said,
