1 T hen Joseph could not restrain himself before all those who stood by him, and he called out, Cause every man to go out from me! So no one stood there with Joseph while he made himself known to his brothers.

And Joseph hath not been able to refrain himself before all those standing by him, and he calleth, `Put out every man from me;' and no man hath stood with him when Joseph maketh himself known unto his brethren,

2 A nd he wept and sobbed aloud, and the Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard about it.

and he giveth forth his voice in weeping, and the Egyptians hear, and the house of Pharaoh heareth.

3 A nd Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph! Is my father still alive? And his brothers could not reply, for they were distressingly disturbed and dismayed at his presence.

And Joseph saith unto his brethren, `I Joseph, is my father yet alive?' and his brethren have not been able to answer him, for they have been troubled at his presence.

4 A nd Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me, I pray you. And they did so. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt!

And Joseph saith unto his brethren, `Come nigh unto me, I pray you,' and they come nigh; and he saith, `I Joseph, your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt;

5 B ut now, do not be distressed and disheartened or vexed and angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me ahead of you to preserve life.

and now, be not grieved, nor let it be displeasing in your eyes that ye sold me hither, for to preserve life hath God sent me before you.

6 F or these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years more in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.

`Because these two years the famine in the heart of the land, and yet five years, which there is neither ploughing nor harvest;

7 G od sent me before you to preserve for you a posterity and to continue a remnant on the earth, to save your lives by a great escape and save for you many survivors.

and God sendeth me before you, to place of you a remnant in the land, and to give life to you by a great escape;

8 S o now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

and now, ye -- ye have not sent me hither, but God, and He doth set me for a father to Pharaoh, and for lord to all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

9 H urry and go up to my father and tell him, Your son Joseph says this to you: God has put me in charge of all Egypt. Come down to me; do not delay.

`Haste, and go up unto my father, then ye have said to him, Thus said Joseph thy son, God hath set me for lord to all Egypt; come down unto me, stay not,

10 Y ou will live in the land of Goshen, and you will be close to me—you and your children and your grandchildren, your flocks, your herds, and all you have.

and thou hast dwelt in the land of Goshen, and been near unto me, thou and thy sons, and thy son's sons, and thy flock, and thy herd, and all that thou hast,

11 A nd there I will sustain and provide for you, so that you and your household and all that are yours may not come to poverty and want, for there are yet five years of famine.

and I have nourished thee there -- for yet five years of famine -- lest thou become poor, thou and thy household, and all that thou hast.

12 N ow notice! Your own eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that I am talking to you personally.

`And lo, your eyes are seeing, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that my mouth which is speaking unto you;

13 A nd you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt and of all that you have seen; and you shall hurry and bring my father down here.

and ye have declared to my father all my honour in Egypt, and all that ye have seen, and ye have hasted, and have brought down my father hither.'

14 A nd he fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.

And he falleth on the neck of Benjamin his brother, and weepeth, and Benjamin hath wept on his neck;

15 M oreover, he kissed all his brothers and wept upon them; and after that his brothers conversed with him.

and he kisseth all his brethren, and weepeth over them; and afterwards have his brethren spoken with him.

16 W hen the report was heard in Pharaoh’s house that Joseph’s brothers had come, it pleased Pharaoh and his servants well.

And the sound hath been heard in the house of Pharaoh, saying, `Come have the brethren of Joseph;' and it is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants,

17 A nd Pharaoh said to Joseph, Tell your brothers this: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan,

and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `Say unto thy brethren, This do ye: lade your beasts, and go, enter ye the land of Canaan,

18 A nd get your father and your households and come to me. And I will give you the best in the land of Egypt and you will live on the fat of the land.

and take your father, and your households, and come unto me, and I give to you the good of the land of Egypt, and eat ye the fat of the land.

19 Y ou therefore command them, saying, You do this: take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father and come.

`Yea, thou -- thou hast been commanded: this do ye, take for yourselves out of the land of Egypt, waggons for your infants, and for your wives, and ye have brought your father, and come;

20 A lso do not look with regret or concern upon your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.

and your eye hath no pity on your vessels, for the good of all the land of Egypt yours.'

21 A nd the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them wagons, as the order of Pharaoh permitted, and gave them provisions for the journey.

And the sons of Israel do so, and Joseph giveth waggons to them by the command of Pharaoh, and he giveth to them provision for the way;

22 T o each of them he gave changes of raiment, but to Benjamin he gave 300 pieces of silver and five changes of raiment.

to all of them hath he given -- to each changes of garments, and to Benjamin he hath given three hundred silverlings, and five changes of garments;

23 A nd to his father he sent as follows: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-donkeys laden with grain, bread, and nourishing food and provision for his father on the way.

and to his father he hath sent thus: ten asses bearing of the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses bearing corn and bread, even food for his father for the way.

24 S o he sent his brothers away, and they departed, and he said to them, See that you do not disagree (get excited, quarrel) along the road.

And he sendeth his brethren away, and they go; and he saith unto them, `Be not angry in the way.'

25 S o they went up out of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father,

And they go up out of Egypt, and come in to the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their father,

26 A nd they said to him, Joseph is still alive! And he is governor over all the land of Egypt! And Jacob’s heart began to stop beating and fainted, for he did not believe them.

and they declare to him, saying, `Joseph yet alive,' and that he ruler over all the land of Egypt; and his heart ceaseth, for he hath not given credence to them.

27 B ut when they told him all the words of Joseph which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.

And they speak unto him all the words of Joseph, which he hath spoken unto them, and he seeth the waggons which Joseph hath sent to bear him away, and live doth the spirit of Jacob their father;

28 A nd Israel said, It is enough! Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.

and Israel saith, `Enough! Joseph my son yet alive; I go and see him before I die.'
