Genesis 45:3-11, 15
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.
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 don`t be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.
6For these two years has the famine been in the land, and there are yet five years, in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
7God sent me before you to preserve you a remnant in the earth, and to save you alive by a great deliverance.
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.
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.
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.
11There I will nourish 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.
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."
14He fell on his brother Benjamin`s neck, and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.
15He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him.
