1Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his attendants, and he cried out, "Have everyone leave my presence!" So there was no one with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers.

1וְלֹֽא־ יָכֹ֨ל יוֹסֵ֜ף לְהִתְאַפֵּ֗ק לְכֹ֤ל הַנִּצָּבִים֙ עָלָ֔יו וַיִּקְרָ֕א הוֹצִ֥יאוּ כָל־ אִ֖ישׁ מֵעָלָ֑י וְלֹא־ עָ֤מַד אִישׁ֙ אִתּ֔וֹ בְּהִתְוַדַּ֥ע יוֹסֵ֖ף אֶל־ אֶחָֽיו׃

2And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh's household heard about it.

2וַיִּתֵּ֥ן אֶת־ קֹל֖וֹ בִּבְכִ֑י וַיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ מִצְרַ֔יִם וַיִּשְׁמַ֖ע בֵּ֥ית פַּרְעֹֽה׃

3Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Is my father still living?" But his brothers were not able to answer him, because they were terrified at his presence.

3וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יוֹסֵ֤ף אֶל־ אֶחָיו֙ אֲנִ֣י יוֹסֵ֔ף הַע֥וֹד אָבִ֖י חָ֑י וְלֹֽא־ יָכְל֤וּ אֶחָיו֙ לַעֲנ֣וֹת אֹת֔וֹ כִּ֥י נִבְהֲל֖וּ מִפָּנָֽיו׃

4Then Joseph said to his brothers, "Come close to me." When they had done so, he said, "I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt!

4וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יוֹסֵ֧ף אֶל־ אֶחָ֛יו גְּשׁוּ־ נָ֥א אֵלַ֖י וַיִּגָּ֑שׁוּ וַיֹּ֗אמֶר אֲנִי֙ יוֹסֵ֣ף אֲחִיכֶ֔ם אֲשֶׁר־ מְכַרְתֶּ֥ם אֹתִ֖י מִצְרָֽיְמָה׃

5And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.

5וְעַתָּ֣ה ׀ אַל־ תֵּעָ֣צְב֗וּ וְאַל־ יִ֙חַר֙ בְּעֵ֣ינֵיכֶ֔ם כִּֽי־ מְכַרְתֶּ֥ם אֹתִ֖י הֵ֑נָּה כִּ֣י לְמִֽחְיָ֔ה שְׁלָחַ֥נִי אֱלֹהִ֖ים לִפְנֵיכֶֽם׃

6For two years now there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping.

6כִּי־ זֶ֛ה שְׁנָתַ֥יִם הָרָעָ֖ב בְּקֶ֣רֶב הָאָ֑רֶץ וְעוֹד֙ חָמֵ֣שׁ שָׁנִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֵין־ חָרִ֖ישׁ וְקָצִּֽיר׃‪‬

7But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

7וַיִּשְׁלָחֵ֤נִי אֱלֹהִים֙ לִפְנֵיכֶ֔ם לָשׂ֥וּם לָכֶ֛ם שְׁאֵרִ֖ית בָּאָ֑רֶץ וּלְהַחֲי֣וֹת לָכֶ֔ם לִפְלֵיטָ֖ה גְּדֹלָֽה׃

8"So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God. He made me father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt.

8וְעַתָּ֗ה לֹֽא־ אַתֶּ֞ם שְׁלַחְתֶּ֤ם אֹתִי֙ הֵ֔נָּה כִּ֖י הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וַיְשִׂימֵ֨נִֽי לְאָ֜ב לְפַרְעֹ֗ה וּלְאָדוֹן֙ לְכָל־ בֵּית֔וֹ וּמֹשֵׁ֖ל בְּכָל־ אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃

9Now hurry back to my father and say to him, 'This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; don't delay.

9מַהֲרוּ֮ וַעֲל֣וּ אֶל־ אָבִי֒ וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֣ם אֵלָ֗יו כֹּ֤ה אָמַר֙ בִּנְךָ֣ יוֹסֵ֔ף שָׂמַ֧נִי אֱלֹהִ֛ים לְאָד֖וֹן לְכָל־ מִצְרָ֑יִם רְדָ֥ה אֵלַ֖י אַֽל־ תַּעֲמֹֽד׃

10You shall live in the region of Goshen and be near me--you, your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and all you have.

10וְיָשַׁבְתָּ֣ בְאֶֽרֶץ־ גֹּ֗שֶׁן וְהָיִ֤יתָ קָרוֹב֙ אֵלַ֔י אַתָּ֕ה וּבָנֶ֖יךָ וּבְנֵ֣י בָנֶ֑יךָ וְצֹאנְךָ֥ וּבְקָרְךָ֖ וְכָל־ אֲשֶׁר־ לָֽךְ׃

11I will provide for you there, because five years of famine are still to come. Otherwise you and your household and all who belong to you will become destitute.'

11וְכִלְכַּלְתִּ֤י אֹֽתְךָ֙ שָׁ֔ם כִּי־ ע֛וֹד חָמֵ֥שׁ שָׁנִ֖ים רָעָ֑ב פֶּן־ תִּוָּרֵ֛שׁ אַתָּ֥ה וּבֵֽיתְךָ֖ וְכָל־ אֲשֶׁר־ לָֽךְ׃

12"You can see for yourselves, and so can my brother Benjamin, that it is really I who am speaking to you.

12וְהִנֵּ֤ה עֵֽינֵיכֶם֙ רֹא֔וֹת וְעֵינֵ֖י אָחִ֣י בִנְיָמִ֑ין כִּי־ פִ֖י הַֽמְדַבֵּ֥ר אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃

13Tell my father about all the honor accorded me in Egypt and about everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly."

13וְהִגַּדְתֶּ֣ם לְאָבִ֗י אֶת־ כָּל־ כְּבוֹדִי֙ בְּמִצְרַ֔יִם וְאֵ֖ת כָּל־ אֲשֶׁ֣ר רְאִיתֶ֑ם וּמִֽהַרְתֶּ֛ם וְהוֹרַדְתֶּ֥ם אֶת־ אָבִ֖י הֵֽנָּה׃

14Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin embraced him, weeping.

14וַיִּפֹּ֛ל עַל־ צַוְּארֵ֥י בִנְיָמִֽן־ אָחִ֖יו וַיֵּ֑בְךְּ וּבִנְיָמִ֔ן בָּכָ֖ה עַל־ צַוָּארָֽיו׃

15And he kissed all his brothers and wept over them. Afterward his brothers talked with him.

15וַיְנַשֵּׁ֥ק לְכָל־ אֶחָ֖יו וַיֵּ֣בְךְּ עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וְאַ֣חֲרֵי כֵ֔ן דִּבְּר֥וּ אֶחָ֖יו אִתּֽוֹ׃

16When the news reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had come, Pharaoh and all his officials were pleased.

16וְהַקֹּ֣ל נִשְׁמַ֗ע בֵּ֤ית פַּרְעֹה֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר בָּ֖אוּ אֲחֵ֣י יוֹסֵ֑ף וַיִּיטַב֙ בְּעֵינֵ֣י פַרְעֹ֔ה וּבְעֵינֵ֖י עֲבָדָֽיו׃

17Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, 'Do this: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan,

17וַיֹּ֤אמֶר פַּרְעֹה֙ אֶל־ יוֹסֵ֔ף אֱמֹ֥ר אֶל־ אַחֶ֖יךָ זֹ֣את עֲשׂ֑וּ טַֽעֲנוּ֙ אֶת־ בְּעִ֣ירְכֶ֔ם וּלְכוּ־ בֹ֖אוּ אַ֥רְצָה כְּנָֽעַן׃

18and bring your father and your families back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt and you can enjoy the fat of the land.'

18וּקְח֧וּ אֶת־ אֲבִיכֶ֛ם וְאֶת־ בָּתֵּיכֶ֖ם וּבֹ֣אוּ אֵלָ֑י וְאֶתְּנָ֣ה לָכֶ֗ם אֶת־ טוּב֙ אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַ֔יִם וְאִכְל֖וּ אֶת־ חֵ֥לֶב הָאָֽרֶץ׃

19"You are also directed to tell them, 'Do this: Take some carts from Egypt for your children and your wives, and get your father and come.

19וְאַתָּ֥ה צֻוֵּ֖יתָה זֹ֣את עֲשׂ֑וּ קְחוּ־ לָכֶם֩ מֵאֶ֨רֶץ מִצְרַ֜יִם עֲגָל֗וֹת לְטַפְּכֶם֙ וְלִנְשֵׁיכֶ֔ם וּנְשָׂאתֶ֥ם אֶת־ אֲבִיכֶ֖ם וּבָאתֶֽם׃

20Never mind about your belongings, because the best of all Egypt will be yours.'"

20וְעֵ֣ינְכֶ֔ם אַל־ תָּחֹ֖ס עַל־ כְּלֵיכֶ֑ם כִּי־ ט֛וּב כָּל־ אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרַ֖יִם לָכֶ֥ם הֽוּא׃

21So the sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them carts, as Pharaoh had commanded, and he also gave them provisions for their journey.

21וַיַּֽעֲשׂוּ־ כֵן֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיִּתֵּ֨ן לָהֶ֥ם יוֹסֵ֛ף עֲגָל֖וֹת עַל־ פִּ֣י פַרְעֹ֑ה וַיִּתֵּ֥ן לָהֶ֛ם צֵדָ֖ה לַדָּֽרֶךְ׃

22To each of them he gave new clothing, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes.

22לְכֻלָּ֥ם נָתַ֛ן לָאִ֖ישׁ חֲלִפ֣וֹת שְׂמָלֹ֑ת וּלְבִנְיָמִ֤ן נָתַן֙ שְׁלֹ֣שׁ מֵא֣וֹת כֶּ֔סֶף וְחָמֵ֖שׁ חֲלִפֹ֥ת שְׂמָלֹֽת׃

23And this is what he sent to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other provisions for his journey.

23וּלְאָבִ֞יו שָׁלַ֤ח כְּזֹאת֙ עֲשָׂרָ֣ה חֲמֹרִ֔ים נֹשְׂאִ֖ים מִטּ֣וּב מִצְרָ֑יִם וְעֶ֣שֶׂר אֲתֹנֹ֡ת נֹֽ֠שְׂאֹת בָּ֣ר וָלֶ֧חֶם וּמָז֛וֹן לְאָבִ֖יו לַדָּֽרֶךְ׃

24Then he sent his brothers away, and as they were leaving he said to them, "Don't quarrel on the way!"

24וַיְשַׁלַּ֥ח אֶת־ אֶחָ֖יו וַיֵּלֵ֑כוּ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֔ם אַֽל־ תִּרְגְּז֖וּ בַּדָּֽרֶךְ׃

25So they went up out of Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.

25וַֽיַּעֲל֖וּ מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם וַיָּבֹ֙אוּ֙ אֶ֣רֶץ כְּנַ֔עַן אֶֽל־ יַעֲקֹ֖ב אֲבִיהֶֽם׃

26They told him, "Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is ruler of all Egypt." Jacob was stunned; he did not believe them.

26וַיַּגִּ֨דוּ ל֜וֹ לֵאמֹ֗ר ע֚וֹד יוֹסֵ֣ף חַ֔י וְכִֽי־ ה֥וּא מֹשֵׁ֖ל בְּכָל־ אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם וַיָּ֣פָג לִבּ֔וֹ כִּ֥י לֹא־ הֶאֱמִ֖ין לָהֶֽם׃

27But when they told him everything Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.

27וַיְדַבְּר֣וּ אֵלָ֗יו אֵ֣ת כָּל־ דִּבְרֵ֤י יוֹסֵף֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר דִּבֶּ֣ר אֲלֵהֶ֔ם וַיַּרְא֙ אֶת־ הָ֣עֲגָל֔וֹת אֲשֶׁר־ שָׁלַ֥ח יוֹסֵ֖ף לָשֵׂ֣את אֹת֑וֹ וַתְּחִ֕י ר֖וּחַ יַעֲקֹ֥ב אֲבִיהֶֽם׃

28And Israel said, "I'm convinced! My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."

28וַיֹּ֙אמֶר֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל רַ֛ב עוֹד־ יוֹסֵ֥ף בְּנִ֖י חָ֑י אֵֽלְכָ֥ה וְאֶרְאֶ֖נּוּ בְּטֶ֥רֶם אָמֽוּת׃
