01:044:025 And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
01:044:026 And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be
with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face,
except our youngest brother be with us.
01:044:027 And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife
bare me two sons:
01:044:028 And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn
in pieces; and I saw him not since:
01:044:029 And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him,
ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
01:044:030 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the
lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;
01:044:031 It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not
with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray
hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
01:044:032 For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father,
saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my
father for ever.
01:044:033 Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of
the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
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
hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a
ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
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
unto me, tarry not:
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:
