1And Joseph could not restrain himself, before all who were stationed near him, so he cried out—Have forth every man from me! And there stood no man with him, when Joseph made himself known unto his brethren. 2Then gave he forth his voice, in weeping,—and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard. 3Then said Joseph unto his brethren: I, am Joseph, is my father, yet, alive? But his brethren could not answer him, for they were terrified because of him. 4Then said Joseph unto his brethren—Draw near, I pray you, unto me. And they drew near. And he said—I, am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. 5But, now, do not grieve, neither let it be vexing in your eyes, that ye sold me hither,—for, to save life, did God send me before you. 6For, these two years, hath the famine been in the midst of the land,—and, yet five years, are there, in which there shall be neither ploughing, nor harvest. 7So then God sent, me before you, to plant for you a remainder, in the earth,—and to save you alive, by a great deliverance. 8Now, therefore, it was not, ye, who sent me hither, but, God, himself,—who also appointed me to be a father to Pharaoh, and a lord to all his house, and a ruler, over all the land of Egypt. 9Haste ye, and go up unto my father, then shall ye say unto him—Thus, saith thy son Joseph, God hath appointed me lord to all Egypt,—come down unto me, do not delay; 10so shalt thou dwell in the land of Goshen, and shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons’ sons,—and thy flocks and thy herds, and all that is thine; 11so will I sustain thee, there, for there are yet five years, of famine,—lest thou come to poverty—thou, and thy house, and all who are thine. 12Now lo! your own eyes, do see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin,—that it is, my own mouth, that doth speak unto you. 13As soon as ye have told my father all my honour in Egypt, and all that ye have seen, so soon shall ye hasten, and bring down my father, hither. 14Then fell he upon the neck of Benjamin his brother, and wept,—and, Benjamin, wept on his, neck. 15Then kissed he all his brethren, and wept upon them,—and, thereafter, his brethren spake with him.

16Now, the report, was heard by the house of Pharaoh, saying, The brethren of Joseph have come in. And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. 17So then Pharaoh said unto Joseph—Say unto thy brethren, This, do,—lade your asses, and go, enter into the land of Canaan; 18and fetch your father and your households, and come in unto me,—that I may give you the best of the land of Egypt, and eat ye the fat of the land. 19Thou, therefore, command them, This, do ye,—Take you, out of the land of Egypt, waggons for your little ones, and for your wives, so shall ye bring your father, and come in. 20Your eye, moreover, let it not look with pity upon your goods,—for, the best of all the land of Egypt, is, yours. 21And the sons of Israel did so, and Joseph gave them waggons, at the bidding of Pharaoh,—and gave them provisions for the way: 22to all of them, gave he, to each man, changes of raiment,—but, to Benjamin, he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment. 23Moreover, to his father, sent he as followeth—ten he-asses, laden from the best of Egypt,—and ten she-asses, laden with corn and bread and nourishing food for his father, for the way. 24Thus sent he forth his brethren, and they departed,—and he said unto them, Do not fall out, by the way.

25And they went up out of Egypt,—and came into the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their father. 26And they told him, saying—Joseph, is, yet alive, yea, indeed, he, is ruler in all the land of Egypt. And his heart became faint, for he believed them not. 27So they spake unto him all the words of Joseph, which he had spoken unto, them, then saw he the waggons, which Joseph had sent to carry him,—and the spirit of Jacob their father revived. 28And Israel said, Enough! Joseph my son is, yet, alive. I must go and see him before I die!
