* 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 qowl # 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 Par #oh #, 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 : * And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen , and thou shalt be near unto me , thou , and thy children , and thy childrens children , and thy flocks tso #n #, and thy herds , and all that thou hast : * And there will I nourish thee ; for yet there are five years of famine ra #ab #; 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 Benjamins neck tsavva #r #, and wept ; and Benjamin wept upon his neck tsavva #r #. * 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 Pharaohs house , saying , Josephs 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 b @#iyr #, and go , get you unto the land of Canaan K @na #an #; * 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 .
