Genesis 45:4-28

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>_.

45:19

Now thou art commanded
<06680> (8795)_,

this do
<06213> (8798)

ye; take
<03947> (8798)

you wagons
<05699>

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

for your little ones
<02945>_,

and for your wives
<0802>_,

and bring
<05375> (8804)

your father
<01>_,

and come
<0935> (8804)_.

45:20

Also
<05869>

regard
<02347> (8799)

not your stuff
<03627>_;

for the good
<02898>

of all the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>

[is] yours. {regard...: Heb. let not your eye spare, etc.}

45:21

And the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

did
<06213> (8799)

so: and Joseph
<03130>

gave
<05414> (8799)

them wagons
<05699>_,

according to the commandment
<06310>

of Pharaoh
<06547>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

them provision
<06720>

for the way
<01870>_.

{commandment: Heb. mouth}

45:22

To all of them he gave
<05414> (8804)

each man
<0376>

changes
<02487>

of raiment
<08071>_;

but to Benjamin
<01144>

he gave
<05414> (8804)

three
<07969>

hundred
<03967>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_,

and five
<02568>

changes
<02487>

of raiment
<08071>_.

45:23

And to his father
<01>

he sent
<07971> (8804)

after this
<02063>

[manner]; ten
<06235>

asses
<0860>

laden
<05375> (8802)

with the good things
<02898>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and ten
<06235>

she asses
<02543>

laden
<05375> (8802)

with corn
<01250>

and bread
<03899>

and meat
<04202>

for his father
<01>

by the way
<01870>_.

{laden...: Heb. carrying}

45:24

So he sent
<07971> (0)

his brethren
<0251>

away
<07971> (8762)_,

and they departed
<03212> (8799)_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, See that ye fall not out
<07264> (8799)

by the way
<01870>_.

45:25

And they went up
<05927> (8799)

out of Egypt
<04714>_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

into the land
<0776>

of Canaan
<03667>

unto Jacob
<03290>

their father
<01>_,

45:26

And told
<05046> (8686)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Joseph
<03130>

[is] yet alive
<02416>_,

and he [is] governor
<04910> (8802)

over all the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

And Jacob's heart
<03820>

fainted
<06313> (8799)_,

for he believed
<0539> (8689)

them not. {Jacob's: Heb. his}

45:27

And they told
<01696> (8762)

him all the words
<01697>

of Joseph
<03130>_,

which he had said
<01696> (8765)

unto them: and when he saw
<07200> (8799)

the wagons
<05699>

which Joseph
<03130>

had sent
<07971> (8804)

to carry
<05375> (8800)

him, the spirit
<07307>

of Jacob
<03290>

their father
<01>

revived
<02421> (8799)_:

45:28

And Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] enough
<07227>_;

Joseph
<03130>

my son
<01121>

[is] yet alive
<02416>_:

I will go
<03212> (8799)

and see him
<07200> (8799)

before I die
<04191> (8799)_.
