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 his
servants.
01:045:017 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do
ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
01:045:018 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.
01:045:019 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.
01:045:020 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of
Egypt is your's.
01:045:021 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.
01:045:022 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.
01:045:023 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden
with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and
bread and meat for his father by the way.
01:045:024 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said
unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
01:045:025 And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of
Canaan unto Jacob their father,
01:045:026 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.
01:045:027 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:
01:045:028 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I
will go and see him before I die.
01:046:001 And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came
to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
01:046:002 And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and
said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
01:046:003 And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go
