1And Joseph could not refrain himself when all were standing by him, but said, Dismiss all from me; and no one stood near Joseph, when he made himself known to his brethren.
1Then Joseph couldn’t control himself before all those who stood before him, and he called out, “Cause everyone to go out from me!” No one else stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.
2And he uttered his voice with weeping; and all the Egyptians heard, and it was reported to the house of Pharao.
2He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard.
3And Joseph said to his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him, for they were troubled.
3Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Does my father still live?” His brothers couldn’t answer him; for they were terrified at his presence.
4And Joseph said to his brethren, Draw nigh to me; and they drew nigh; and he said, I am your brother Joseph, whom ye sold into Egypt.
4Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” They came near. He said, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
5Now then be not grieved, and let it not seem hard to you that ye sold me hither, for God sent me before you for life.
5Now don’t be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
6For this second year there is famine on the earth, and there are yet five years remaining, in which there is to be neither ploughing, nor mowing.
6For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be no plowing and no harvest.
7For God sent me before you, that there might be left to you a remnant upon the earth, even to nourish a great remnant of you.
7God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
8Now then ye did not send me hither, but God; and he hath made me as a father of Pharao, and lord of all his house, and ruler of all the land of Egypt.
8So now it wasn’t you who sent me here, but God, and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
9Hasten, therefore, and go up to my father, and say to him, These things saith thy son Joseph; God has made me lord of all the land of Egypt; come down therefore to me, and tarry not.
9Hurry, and go up to my father, and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says, “God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Don’t wait.
10And thou shalt dwell in the land of Gesem of Arabia; and thou shalt be near me, thou and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, thy sheep and thine oxen, and whatsoever things are thine.
10You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children’s children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.
11And I will nourish thee there: for the famine is yet for five years ; lest thou be consumed, and thy sons, and all thy possessions.
11There I will provide for you; for there are yet five years of famine; lest you come to poverty, you, and your household, and all that you have.”’
12Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
12Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaks to you.
13Report, therefore, to my father all my glory in Egypt, and all things that ye have seen, and make haste and bring down my father hither.
13You shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. You shall hurry and bring my father down here.”
14And he fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept on him; and Benjamin wept on his neck.
14He fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.
15And he kissed all his brethren, and wept on them; and after these things his brethren spoke to him.
15He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him.
16And the report was carried into the house of Pharao, saying, Joseph's brethren are come; and Pharao was glad, and his household.
16The report of it was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
17And Pharao said to Joseph, Say to thy brethren, Do this; fill your waggons, and depart into the land of Chanaan.
17Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals, and go, travel to the land of Canaan.
18And take up your father, and your possessions, and come to me; and I will give you of all the goods of Egypt, and ye shall eat the marrow of the land.
18Take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.’
19And do thou charge them thus; that they should take for them waggons out of the land of Egypt, for your little ones, and for your wives; and take up your father, and come.
19Now you are commanded to do this: Take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
20And be not sparing in regard to your property, for all the good of Egypt shall be yours.
20Also, don’t concern yourselves about your belongings, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.”
21And the children of Israel did so; and Joseph gave to them waggons, according to the words spoken by king Pharao; and he gave them provision for the journey.
21The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.

23And to his father he sent [presents] at the same rate, and ten asses, bearing some of all the good things of Egypt, and ten mules, bearing bread for his father for the journey.
23He sent the following to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provision for his father by the way.
24And he sent away his brethren, and they went; and he said to them, Be not angry by the way.
24So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, “See that you don’t quarrel on the way.”
25And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Chanaan, to Jacob their father.
25They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.
26And they reported to him, saying, Thy son Joseph is living, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt; and Jacob was amazed, for he did not believe them.
26They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” His heart fainted, for he didn’t believe them.
27But they spoke to him all the words uttered by Joseph, whatsoever he said to them; and having seen the chariots which Joseph sent to take him up, the spirit of Jacobtheir fatherrevived.
27They told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them. When he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, revived.
28And Israel said, It is a great thing for me if Joseph my son is yet alive, I will go and see him before I die.
28Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
1And Israel departed, he and all that he had, and came to the well of the oath; and he offered sacrifice to the God of his fatherIsaac.
1Israel traveled with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac.
2And God spoke to Israel in a night vision, saying, Jacob, Jacob; and he said, What is it?
2God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” He said, “Here I am.”
3And he says to him, I am the God of thy fathers; fear not to go down into Egypt, for I will make thee there a great nation.
3He said, “I am God, the God of your father. Don’t be afraid to go down into Egypt, for there I will make of you a great nation.
4And I will go down with thee into Egypt, and I will bring thee up at the end; and Joseph shall put his hands on thine eyes.
4I will go down with you into Egypt. I will also surely bring you up again. Joseph’s hand will close your eyes.”
5And Jacob rose up from the well of the oath; and the sons of Israel took up their father, and the baggage, and their wives on the waggons, which Joseph sent to take them.
