The Beginning (Genesis) 45

1 Then Yehovah Will Add (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 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) made himself known to his brothers.

2 He wept aloud, and the Double Straighters (Egyptians) and the house of the Great House (Pharaoh) heard.

3 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) said to his brothers, “I am Yehovah Will Add (Joseph). Is my father still alive? His brothers could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.

4 Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” So they came near. He said, “I am Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) your brother, whom you sold into Double Straights (Egypt).

5 Do not be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here: for God ('Elohiym) sent me before you to preserve life.

6 For two years the famine has been in the land: and there are five more years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.

7 God ('Elohiym) sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

8 So now it was not you that sent me here, but God ('Elohiym) and He has made me a father to the Great House (Pharaoh), and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Double Straights (Egypt).

9 Hurry, go up to my father, and say to him, “This is what your son Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) says, God ('Elohiym) has made me lord of all Double Straights (Egypt): come down to me, tarry not:

10 And you shall dwell in the land of Drawing Near (Goshen), and you shall be near me, you, and your children, and your children's children, and your flocks, and your herds, and all that you have:

11 And there will I nourish you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you, and your household, and all that you have, come to poverty.

12 Your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Son of the Right Hand (Benjamin), that it is my mouth that speaks to you.

13 Tell my father of all my glory in Double Straights (Egypt), and of all that you have seen. Hurry and bring my father down here.”

14 He hugged his brother Son of the Right Hand (Benjamin)'s neck, and wept; and Son of the Right Hand (Benjamin) wept on his neck.

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

16 The news was heard in the Great House (Pharaoh)'s house, saying, “Yehovah Will Add (Joseph)'s brothers have come.” It pleased the Great House (Pharaoh) well, and his servants.

17 The Great House (Pharaoh) said to Yehovah Will Add (Joseph), “Say to your brethren, Load your beasts, and go to the land of Humbled One (Canaan);

18 Take your father and your households, and come to me: and I will give you the good of the land of Double Straights (Egypt), and you shall eat the fat of the land.

19 Now you are commanded, this do you; take wagons out of the land of Double Straights (Egypt) for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.

20 Don't worry about not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Double Straights (Egypt) is yours.

21 The children of God Prevails (Israel) did so and Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) gave them wagons, according to the commandment of the Great House (Pharaoh), giving them provision for the way.

22 He gave each man a change of clothing; but to Son of the Right Hand (Benjamin) he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of clothing.

23 And to his father he sent ten asses laden with the good things of Double Straights (Egypt), and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.

24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed: and he said to them, “Be careful on the way.”

25 They went up out of Double Straights (Egypt), and came into the land of Humbled One (Canaan) to Heel-Grabber (Jacob) their father,

26 And told him, “Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) is alive, and he is governor over all the land of Double Straights (Egypt). And Heel-Grabber (Jacob)'s heart fainted with disbelief!

27 They told him all that Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) had sent to carry him, the spirit of Heel-Grabber (Jacob) their father revived:

28 And God Prevails (Israel) said, “It is enough; Yehovah Will Add (Joseph) my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.”
