Genesis 45:1-16

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}
