Genesis 45:9-11

45:9 Now go up to my father quickly ¹  and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: “God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; do not delay! 45:10 You will live ²  in the land of Goshen, and you will be near me – you, your children, your grandchildren, your flocks, your herds, and everything you have. 45:11 I will provide you with food ³  there because there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise you would become poor – you, your household, and everyone who belongs to you.”’
