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
there because there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise you would become poor – you, your household, and everyone who belongs to you.”’
45:12 You and my brother Benjamin can certainly see with your own eyes that I really am the one who speaks to you.
45:13 So tell
my father about all my honor in Egypt and about everything you have seen. But bring my father down here quickly!”

for such a time as this!”
