For this is the second year of dearth in the land, and five
more are behind in which there shall neither be earing nor
harvest. Wherefore God sent me before you to make provision, that
ye might continue in the earth and to save your lives by a great
deliverance. So now it was not ye that sent me hither, but God:
and he hath made me father unto Pharao and lord over all his
house, and ruler in all the land of Egypt. Haste you and go to my
father and tell him, this sayeth thy son Ioseph: God hath made me
lord over all Egypt. Come down unto me and tarry not. And thou
shalt dwell in the land of Gosan and be by me: both thou and thy
children, and thy children's children: and thy sheep, and beasts
and all that thou hast. There will I make provision for thee: for
there remain yet five years of dearth, lest thou and thy household
and all that thou hast perish. Behold, your eyes do see, and the
eyes also of my brother Ben Iamin, that I speak to you by mouth.
Therefore tell my father of all my honour which I have in Egypt
and of all that ye have seen, and make haste and bring in father
hither. And he fell on his brother Ben Iamin's neck and wept, and
Ben Iamin wept on his neck. Moreover he kissed all his brethren
and wept upon them.
