Genesis 45

CLV(i) 1 Yet Joseph cannot check himself before all who are stationed about him. And calling is he, "Forth go every man from me!"And no man stands with him while Joseph makes himself known to his brothers. 2 And giving is he his voice to lamentation. And hearing are all the Egyptians. And hearing is the household of Pharaoh. 3 And saying is Joseph to his brothers, "I am Joseph. Still is my father living?And his brothers cannot answer him, for flustered are they by his presence. 4 And saying is Joseph to his brothers, "Come close, pray, to me.And close are they coming. And saying is he, "I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold to Egypt. 5 And now, you must not grieve, and it must not be hot in your eyes, that you sell me hither, for to preserve life the Elohim sends me before you. 6 For this two years the famine is within the land, and there are still five years in which there is no plowing or harvesting. 7 And sending me is the Elohim before you to constitute you a remnant in the earth and to preserve your lives for a great deliverance. 8 And now, not you send me hither, for it was the Elohim. And constituting me is He a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his household, and ruler in all the land of Egypt. 9 Hasten and go up to my father, and say to him, `Thus says your son Joseph, "The Elohim has constituted me lord of all the land of Egypt. Come down to me. You must not stay there. 10 And dwell in the land of Goshen and come to be near to me, you and your sons and your sons' sons, and your flocks and your herds, and all which is yours. 11 And sustain you will I there, for there are still five years of famine, lest destitute you be becoming, and your sons' and all who are yours.. 12 And, behold, your eyes are seeing, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which is speaking to you. 13 And tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you see. And hasten and bring down my father hither. 14 And falling is he on the neck of his brother Benjamin and weeping on him. And Benjamin weeps on his neck. 15 And kissing is he all his brothers and is weeping on them. And afterward his brothers speak with him. 16 And a voice is heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, "Come have the brothers of Joseph.And good is it in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants. 17 And saying is Pharaoh to Joseph, "Say to your brothers, "This do: Spur your brutes and go. Enter into the land of Canaan, 18 and take your father and your households and come to me. And give will I to you all the good of the land of Egypt. And eat shall you the fat of the land. 19 And you are instructed to do this: Take to you from the land of Egypt cars for your tots and for your wives, and carry your father and come. 20 And your eye must not commiserate you over your chattels, for the good of all the land of Egypt, yours is it. 21 And doing so are the sons of Israel. And giving to them is Joseph cars at the bidding of Pharaoh, the king, and he is giving them provisions for the way. 22 To every man of them he gives changes of garments, and to Benjamin he gives three hundred silverlings and five changes of garments. 23 And to his father he sends this: ten jack-asses bearing the good of the land of Egypt, and ten she-asses bearing cereals and bread and a sort for his father for the way. 24 And sending is he his brothers and they are going. And saying is he to them, "You must not be disturbed on the way. 25 And up are they going from Egypt and coming to the land of Canaan, to Jacob, their father. 26 And telling him are they, saying, "Still is your son, Joseph, living!"And that "he is ruling in all the land of Egypt!"Yet so torpid is Jacob's heart that he does not believe them. 27 And speaking are they to him all the words of Joseph which he spoke to them. Yet seeing is he the cars which Joseph had sent to carry him. Then living is the spirit of Jacob, their father. 28 And Israel is saying, "Much! Still is Joseph, my son, living! Go will I and see him ere I die.
