01:044:034 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with
me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my
father.
01:045:001 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.
01:045:002 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh
heard.
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

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

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
