1 Joseph could no longer hold back his emotions in front of everyone standing near him, so he called out, 'Have everyone leave my presence!' No one remained with him when Joseph revealed himself to his brothers.

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.

2 Joseph wept so loudly as he raised his voice in crying that the Egyptians heard it, and Pharaoh’s household also heard about it.

And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.

3 Joseph said to his brothers, 'I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?' But his brothers could not answer him because they were so shocked and dismayed by his presence.

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.

4 Then Joseph said to his brothers, 'Please come closer to me.' They came closer, and he said, 'I am Joseph, your brother, the one you sold into Egypt.'

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.

5 Now, do not be distressed or angry with yourselves for selling me here, because God sent me ahead of you to preserve life.

Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.

6 For two years now, there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years, there will be no plowing or harvesting.

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.

7 But God sent me ahead of you to establish a remnant for you on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

8 So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God. He made me like a father to Pharaoh, lord over all his household, and a ruler throughout Egypt.

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.

9 Hurry and go up to my father and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord over all Egypt. Come down to me; do not delay.’

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:

10 You shall dwell in the land of Goshen and be near me—you, your children, your grandchildren, your flocks, your herds, and everything you have.

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:

11 I will provide for you there, because there are still five years of famine to come, so that neither you, your household, nor anything that belongs to you will fall into poverty.

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.

12 Look, your own eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that it is my own mouth speaking to you.

And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.

13 Tell my father about all the honor that I have in Egypt and everything you have seen. Hurry and bring my father down here.

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.

14 Then he threw himself on the neck of his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.

And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.

15 Joseph kissed all his brothers and wept over them. Afterward, his brothers talked with him.

Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.

16 The news reached Pharaoh' palace

And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.

17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, 'Tell your brothers to do this: Load your animals and go back to the land of Canaan.'

And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;

18 Then bring your father and your households and come back to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat from the fat of the land.

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.

19 You are also instructed to do this: Take wagons from Egypt for your children and your wives, and bring your father and come.

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.

20 Do not worry about your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.

Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.

21 The sons of Israel did as they were told. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had commanded and provisions for their journey.

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.

22 To each of them, he gave a set of clothing, but to Benjamin, he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five sets of clothing.

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.

23 To his father, he sent ten donkeys loaded with the finest goods of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and provisions for the journey.

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.

24 Then Joseph sent his brothers away, and as they left, he said to them, 'Do not quarrel on the way.'

So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.

25 So they went up from Egypt and came to Canaan to their father Jacob.

And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,

26 They told him, 'Joseph is still alive! He is even ruling over all the land of Egypt!' But Jacob was stunned and did not believe them.

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.

27 But when they reported all the words Joseph had spoken to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, their father Jacob’s spirit revived.

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:

28 Then Israel said, 'I am convinced! My son Joseph is still alive! I will go and see him before I die.'

And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
