Genesis 45:1-18

45:1

Then Joseph
<03130>

could
<03201> (8804)

not refrain
<0662> (8692)

himself before all them that stood
<05324> (8737)

by him; and he cried
<07121> (8799)_,

Cause
<03318> (0)

every man
<0376>

to go out
<03318> (8685)

from me. And there stood
<05975> (8804)

no man
<0376>

with him, while Joseph
<03130>

made himself known
<03045> (8692)

unto his brethren
<0251>_.

45:2

And he wept
<06963> <01065>

aloud
<05414> (8799)_:

and the Egyptians
<04714>

and the house
<01004>

of Pharaoh
<06547>

heard
<08085> (8799) <08085> (8799)_.

{wept...: Heb. gave forth his voice in weeping}

45:3

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

I [am] Joseph
<03130>_;

doth my father
<01>

yet live
<02416>_?

And his brethren
<0251>

could
<03201> (8804)

not answer
<06030> (8800)

him; for they were troubled
<0926> (8738)

at his presence
<06440>_.

{troubled: or, terrified}

45:4

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

Come near
<05066> (8798)

to me, I pray you. And they came near
<05066> (8799)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] Joseph
<03130>

your brother
<0251>_,

whom ye sold
<04376> (8804)

into Egypt
<04714>_.

45:5

Now therefore be not grieved
<06087> (8735)_,

nor angry
<02734> (8799)

with yourselves
<05869>_,

that ye sold
<04376> (8804)

me hither: for God
<0430>

did send
<07971> (8804)

me before you
<06440>

to preserve life
<04241>_.

{nor...: Heb. neither let there be anger in your eyes}

45:6

For these two years
<08141>

[hath] the famine
<07458>

[been] in
<07130>

the land
<0776>_:

and yet [there are] five
<02568>

years
<08141>_,

in the which [there shall] neither
<0369>

[be] earing
<02758>

nor harvest
<07105>_.

45:7

And God
<0430>

sent
<07971> (8799)

me before you
<06440>

to preserve
<07760> (8800)

you a posterity
<07611>

in the earth
<0776>_,

and to save your lives
<02421> (8687)

by a great
<01419>

deliverance
<06413>_.

{to preserve...: Heb. to put for you a remnant}

45:8

So now [it was] not you [that] sent
<07971> (8804)

me hither, but God
<0430>_:

and he hath made
<07760> (8799)

me a father
<01>

to Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and lord
<0113>

of all his house
<01004>_,

and a ruler
<04910> (8802)

throughout all the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

45:9

Haste
<04116> (8761)

ye, and go up
<05927> (8798)

to my father
<01>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)

unto him, Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

thy son
<01121>

Joseph
<03130>_,

God
<0430>

hath made
<07760> (8804)

me lord
<0113>

of all Egypt
<04714>_:

come down
<03381> (8798)

unto me, tarry
<05975> (8799)

not:

45:10

And thou shalt dwell
<03427> (8804)

in the land
<0776>

of Goshen
<01657>_,

and thou shalt be near
<07138>

unto me, thou, and thy children
<01121>_,

and thy children's
<01121>

children
<01121>_,

and thy flocks
<06629>_,

and thy herds
<01241>_,

and all that thou hast:

45:11

And there will I nourish
<03557> (8773)

thee; for yet [there are] five
<02568>

years
<08141>

of famine
<07458>_;

lest thou, and thy household
<01004>_,

and all that thou hast, come to poverty
<03423> (8735)_.

45:12

And, behold, your eyes
<05869>

see
<07200> (8802)_,

and the eyes
<05869>

of my brother
<0251>

Benjamin
<01144>_,

that [it is] my mouth
<06310>

that speaketh
<01696> (8764)

unto you.

45:13

And ye shall tell
<05046> (8689)

my father
<01>

of all my glory
<03519>

in Egypt
<04714>_,

and of all that ye have seen
<07200> (8804)_;

and ye shall haste
<04116> (8765)

and bring down
<03381> (8689)

my father
<01>

hither.

45:14

And he fell
<05307> (8799)

upon his brother
<0251>

Benjamin's
<01144>

neck
<06677>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_;

and Benjamin
<01144>

wept
<01058> (8804)

upon his neck
<06677>_.

45:15

Moreover he kissed
<05401> (8762)

all his brethren
<0251>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)

upon them: and after
<0310>

that his brethren
<0251>

talked
<01696> (8765)

with him.

45:16

And the fame
<06963>

thereof was heard
<08085> (8738)

in Pharaoh's
<06547>

house
<01004>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Joseph's
<03130>

brethren
<0251>

are come
<0935> (8804)_:

and it pleased
<03190> (0) <05869> (0)

Pharaoh
<06547>

well
<03190> (8799) <05869>_,

and
<05869>

his servants
<05650>_.

{pleased...: Heb. was good in the eyes of Pharaoh}

45:17

And Pharaoh
<06547>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

Say
<0559> (8798)

unto thy brethren
<0251>_,

This do
<06213> (8798)

ye; lade
<02943> (8798)

your beasts
<01165>_,

and go
<03212> (8798)_,

get
<0935> (8798)

you unto the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_;

45:18

And take
<03947> (8798)

your father
<01>

and your households
<01004>_,

and come
<0935> (8798)

unto me: and I will give
<05414> (8799)

you the good
<02898>

of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and ye shall eat
<0398> (8798)

the fat
<02459>

of the land
<0776>_.

Genesis 46:31--47:10

46:31

And Joseph
<03130>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

and unto his father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

I will go up
<05927> (8799)_,

and shew
<05046> (8686)

Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and say
<0559> (8799)

unto him, My brethren
<0251>_,

and my father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

which [were] in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_,

are come
<0935> (8804)

unto me;

46:32

And the men
<0582>

[are] shepherds
<07462> (8802) <06629>_,

for their trade hath been to feed cattle
<04735>_;

and they have brought
<0935> (8689)

their flocks
<06629>_,

and their herds
<01241>_,

and all that they have. {their trade...: Heb. they are men of cattle}

46:33

And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh
<06547>

shall call
<07121> (8799)

you, and shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

What [is] your occupation
<04639>_?

46:34

That ye shall say
<0559> (8804)_,

Thy servants
<05650>_'

trade
<0582>

hath been about cattle
<04735>

from our youth
<05271>

even until now, both we, [and] also our fathers
<01>_:

that ye may dwell
<03427> (8799)

in the land
<0776>

of Goshen
<01657>_;

for every shepherd
<07462> (8802) <06629>

[is] an abomination
<08441>

unto the Egyptians
<04714>_.

47:1

Then Joseph
<03130>

came
<0935> (8799)

and told
<05046> (8686)

Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

My father
<01>

and my brethren
<0251>_,

and their flocks
<06629>_,

and their herds
<01241>_,

and all that they have, are come out
<0935> (8804)

of the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_;

and, behold, they [are] in the land
<0776>

of Goshen
<01657>_.

47:2

And he took
<03947> (8804)

some
<07097>

of his brethren
<0251>_,

[even] five
<02568>

men
<0582>_,

and presented
<03322> (8686)

them unto
<06440>

Pharaoh
<06547>_.

47:3

And Pharaoh
<06547>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his brethren
<0251>_,

What [is] your occupation
<04639>_?

And they said
<0559> (8799)

unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,

Thy servants
<05650>

[are] shepherds
<07462> (8802) <06629>_,

both we, [and] also our fathers
<01>_.

47:4

They said
<0559> (8799)

moreover unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,

For to sojourn
<01481> (8800)

in the land
<0776>

are we come
<0935> (8804)_;

for thy servants
<05650>

have no pasture
<04829>

for their flocks
<06629>_;

for the famine
<07458>

[is] sore
<03515>

in the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>_:

now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants
<05650>

dwell
<03427> (8799)

in the land
<0776>

of Goshen
<01657>_.

47:5

And Pharaoh
<06547>

spake
<0559> (8799)

unto Joseph
<03130>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thy father
<01>

and thy brethren
<0251>

are come
<0935> (8804)

unto thee:

47:6

The land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

[is] before thee
<06440>_;

in the best
<04315>

of the land
<0776>

make
<03427> (0)

thy father
<01>

and brethren
<0251>

to dwell
<03427> (8685)_;

in the land
<0776>

of Goshen
<01657>

let them dwell
<03427> (8799)_:

and if thou knowest
<03045> (8804) <03426>

[any] men
<0582>

of activity
<02428>

among them, then make them
<07760> (8804)

rulers
<08269>

over my cattle
<04735>_.

47:7

And Joseph
<03130>

brought in
<0935> (8686)

Jacob
<03290>

his father
<01>_,

and set him
<05975> (8686)

before
<06440>

Pharaoh
<06547>_:

and Jacob
<03290>

blessed
<01288> (8762)

Pharaoh
<06547>_.

47:8

And Pharaoh
<06547>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Jacob
<03290>_,

How
<04100>

old
<02416> <03117> <08141>

[art] thou? {How...: Heb. How many are the days of the years of thy life?}

47:9

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Pharaoh
<06547>_,

The days
<03117>

of the years
<08141>

of my pilgrimage
<04033>

[are] an hundred
<03967>

and thirty
<07970>

years
<08141>_:

few
<04592>

and evil
<07451>

have the days
<03117>

of the years
<08141>

of my life
<02416>

been, and have not attained
<05381> (8689)

unto the days
<03117>

of the years
<08141>

of the life
<02416>

of my fathers
<01>

in the days
<03117>

of their pilgrimage
<04033>_.

47:10

And Jacob
<03290>

blessed
<01288> (8762)

Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and went out
<03318> (8799)

from before
<06440>

Pharaoh
<06547>_.
