the blame to my father forever.' 044:033 Now therefore, please let your servant stay instead of the boy, a bondservant to my lord; and let the boy go up with his brothers. 044:034 For how will I go up to my father, if the boy isn't with me?-- lest I see the evil that will come on my father." 045:001 Then Joseph couldn't control himself before all those who stood before him, and he cried, "Cause every man to go out from me!" No one else stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers. 045:002 He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard. 045:003 Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Does my father still live?" His brothers couldn't answer him; for they were terrified at his presence. 045:004 Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, please." They came near. "He said, I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt. 045:005 Now don't be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life. 045:006 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest. 045:007 God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance. 045:008 So now it wasn't you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt. 045:009 Hurry, and go up to my father, and tell him, 'This is what your son Joseph says, "God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Don't wait. 045:010 You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children's children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have. 045:011 There I will nourish you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have."' 045:012 Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you. 045:013 You shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. You shall hurry and bring my father down here." 045:014 He fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck. 045:015 He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him. 045:016 The report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Joseph's brothers have come." It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants. 045:017 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this. Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan. 045:018 Take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.'
