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:
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
