Dual Panel1Joseph <03130> was no <03808> longer able <03201> to control <0662> himself before <05921> all <03605> his attendants <05324>, so he cried out <07121>, “Make <03318> everyone <0376> <03605> go out <03318> from <05921> my presence!” No <03808> one <0376> remained <05975> with <0854> Joseph <03130> when he made <03045> himself known <03045> to <0413> his brothers <0251>.
2He wept <01065> <05414> loudly <06963>; the Egyptians <04713> heard <08085> it and Pharaoh’s <06547> household <01004> heard <08085> about it.
3Joseph <03130> said <0559> to <0413> his brothers <0251>, “I <0589> am Joseph <03130>! Is my father <01> still <05750> alive <02416>?” His brothers <0251> could <03201> not <03808> answer <06030> him because <03588> they were dumbfounded <0926> before <06440> him.
4Joseph <03130> said <0559> to <0413> his brothers <0251>, “Come closer <05066> to <0413> me,” so they came near <05066>. Then he said <0559>, “I <0589> am Joseph <03130> your brother <0251>, whom <0834> you sold <04376> into Egypt <04714>.
5Now <06258>, do not <0408> be upset <06087> and do not <0408> be angry <02734> with yourselves <05869> because <03588> you sold <04376> me here <02008>, for <03588> God <0430> sent <07971> me ahead <06440> of you to preserve life <04241>!
6For <03588> these <02088> past two years <08141> there has been famine <07458> in <07130> the land <0776> and for five <02568> more years <08141> there will be neither <0369> plowing <02758> nor harvesting <07105>.
7God <0430> sent <07971> me ahead <06440> of you to preserve <07760> you on the earth <0776> and to save your lives <02421> by a great <01419> deliverance <06413>.
8So now <06258>, it is not <03808> you <0859> who sent <07971> me here <02008>, but God <0430>. He has made <07760> me an adviser <01> to Pharaoh <06547>, lord <0113> over all <03605> his household <01004>, and ruler <04910> over all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>.
9Now go up <05927> to <0413> my father <01> quickly <04116> and tell <0559> him, ‘This is what <03541> your son <01121> Joseph <03130> says <0559>: “God <0430> has made <07760> me lord <0113> of all <03605> Egypt <04714>. Come down <03381> to <0413> me; do not <0408> delay <05975>!
10You will live <03427> in the land <0776> of Goshen <01657>, and you will be <01961> near <07138> me– you <0859>, your children <01121>, your grandchildren <01121> <01121>, your flocks <06629>, your herds <01241>, and everything <03605> you have.
11I will provide <03557> you with food <03557> there <08033> because <03588> there will be five <02568> more <05750> years <08141> of famine <07458>. Otherwise <06435> you would become poor <03423>– you <0859>, your household <01004>, and everyone <03605> who <0834> belongs to you.”’
12You and my brother <0251> Benjamin <01144> can certainly see <07200> with your own eyes <05869> that <03588> I really am the one who speaks <01696> to <0413> you.
13So tell <05046> my father <01> about all <03605> my honor <03519> in Egypt <04714> and about everything <03605> you have seen <07200>. But bring <03381> my father <01> down <03381> here <02008> quickly <04116>!”
14Then he threw <05307> himself on <05921> the neck <06677> of his brother <0251> Benjamin <01144> and wept <01058>, and Benjamin <01144> wept <01058> on <05921> his neck <06677>.
15He kissed <05401> all <03605> his brothers <0251> and wept <01058> over <05921> them. After <0310> this <03651> his brothers <0251> talked <01696> with <0854> him.
16Now it was reported <08085> <06963> in the household <01004> of Pharaoh <06547>, “Joseph’s <03130> brothers <0251> have arrived <0935>.” It pleased <03190> Pharaoh <06547> and his servants <05650>.
17Pharaoh <06547> said <0559> to <0413> Joseph <03130>, “Say <0559> to your brothers <0251>, ‘Do <06213> this <02063>: Load <02943> your animals <01165> and go <0935> <01980> to the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>!
18Get <03947> your father <01> and your households <01004> and come <0935> to <0413> me! Then I will give <05414> you the best <02898> land <0776> in Egypt <04714> and you will eat <0398> the best <02459> of the land <0776>.’
19You <0859> are also commanded <06680> to say, ‘Do <06213> this <02063>: Take <03947> for yourselves wagons <05699> from the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> for your little ones <02945> and for your wives <0802>. Bring <05375> your father <01> and come <0935>.
20Don’t <0408> worry <02347> <05869> about <05921> your belongings <03627>, for <03588> the best <02898> of all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> will be yours <01931>.’”
21So <03651> the sons <01121> of Israel <03478> did <06213> as he said. Joseph <03130> gave <05414> them wagons <05699> as <05921> Pharaoh <06547> had instructed <06310>, and he gave <05414> them provisions <06720> for the journey <01870>.
22He gave <05414> sets <02487> of clothes <08071> to each one <0582> <03605> of them, but to Benjamin <01144> he gave <05414> three <07969> hundred <03967> pieces of silver <03701> and five <02568> sets <02487> of clothes <08071>.
23To his father <01> he sent <07971> the following <02063>: ten <06235> donkeys <02543> loaded <05375> with the best products <02898> of Egypt <04714> and ten <06235> female donkeys <0860> loaded <05375> with grain <01250>, food <03899>, and provisions <04202> for his father’s <01> journey <01870>.
24Then he sent <07971> his brothers <0251> on their way and they left <01980>. He said <0559> to <0413> them, “As you travel <01870> don’t <0408> be overcome <07264> with fear.”
25So they went up <05927> from Egypt <04714> and came <0935> to their father <01> Jacob <03290> in the land <0776> of Canaan <03667>.
26They told <05046> him, “Joseph <03130> is still <05750> alive <02416> and he is ruler <04910> over all <03605> the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>!” Jacob was stunned <03820> <06313>, for <03588> he did not <03808> believe <0539> them.
27But when they related <01696> to <0413> him everything <01697> <03605> Joseph <03130> had said <01696> to <0413> them, and when he saw <07200> the wagons <05699> that <0834> Joseph <03130> had sent <07971> to transport <05375> him, their father <01> Jacob’s <03290> spirit <07307> revived <02421>.
28Then Israel <03478> said <0559>, “Enough <07227>! My son <01121> Joseph <03130> is still <05750> alive <02416>! I will go <01980> and see <07200> him before <02962> I die <04191>.”
