1 Then Josephcould no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he cried out, "Send everyone away from me!"
So none of them were with Josephwhen he made himself known to his brothers. 2 But he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh’s household soon heard of it.
3 Josephsaid to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?"
But they were unable to answer him, because they were terrified in his presence.
4 Then Josephsaid to his brothers, "Please come near me." And they did so.
"I am Joseph, your brother," he said, "the one you sold into Egypt! 5 And now, do not be distressed or angry with yourselves that you sold me into this place, because it was to save lives that God sent me before you. 6 For the famine has covered the land these two years, and there will be five more years without plowing or harvesting. 7 God sent me before you to preserve you as a remnant on the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.45:7 Or and to keep you alive as a great band of survivors8 Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God, who has made me a father to Pharaoh— lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
Joseph Sends for His Father
9 Now return quickly to my father and tell him, ‘This is what your son Josephsays: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me without delay. 10 You shall settle in the land of Goshenand be near me— you and your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and everything you own. 11 And there I will provide for you, because there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise, you and your household and everything you own will come to destitution.’
12 Behold! You and my brother Benjamincan see that I, Joseph, am the one speaking with you. 13 Tell my father about all my splendor in Egyptand everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly."
14 Then Joseph threw his arms around his brother Benjaminand wept, and Benjaminwept as they embraced. 15 Joseph kissed each of his brothers as he wept over them. And afterward his brothers talked with him.
Pharaoh Invites Jacob to Egypt
16 When the news reached Pharaoh’s house that Joseph’s brothers had come, Pharaohand his servants were pleased.
17 Pharaohsaid to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, ‘Do as follows: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan. 18 Then bring your father and your families and return to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat from the fat of the land.’ 19 You are also directed to tell them: ‘Take wagons from the land of Egyptfor your young children and your wives, and bring your father and come back. 20 But pay no regard to your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egyptis yours.’"
21 So the sons of Israeldid as they were told. Josephgave them wagons as Pharaohhad instructed, and he also gave them provisions for their journey. 22 He gave new garments to each of them, but to Benjaminhe gave three hundred shekelsof silver45:22 300 shekels is approximately 7.5 pounds or 3.4 kilograms of silver.and five sets of clothes. 23 And he sent to his father the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provisions for his father’s journey.
24 Then Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, "Do not quarrel on the way!"
The Revival of Jacob
25 So the brothers went up out of Egyptand came to their father Jacobin the land of Canaan. 26 "Josephis still alive," they said, "and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt!"
But Jacob was stunned, for he did not believe them. 27 However, when they relayed all that Josephhad told them, and when he saw the wagons that Josephhad sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacobwas revived.
28 "Enough!" declared Israel. "My son Josephis still alive! I will go to see him before I die."
