Thus God has sent me ahead of you to insure your survival in the land and to sustain you for a momentous deliverance. And now - It was not you who sent me here, but God; He has made me father to Pharaoh, master of his entire household, and ruler throughout the entire land of Egypt. Hurry — go up to my father and say to him, 'So said your son Joseph - "God has made me master of all Egypt. Come down to me; do not delay. You will reside in the land of Goshen and you will be near to me — you, your sons, your grandchildren, your flock and your cattle, and all that is yours. And I will provide for you there — for there will be five more years of famine — so you do not become destitute, you, your household, and all that is yours. " ' "Behold! Your eyes see as do the eyes of my brother Benjamin that it is my mouth that is speaking to you. Therefore, tell my father of all my glory in Egypt and all that you saw; but you must hurry, and bring my father down here." Then he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck. He then kissed all his brothers and wept upon them; afterwards his brothers conversed with him. The news was heard in Pharaoh's palace saying, "Joseph's brothers have come!" And it was pleasing in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants. Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Say to your brothers, 'Do this - Load up your animals and go directly to the land of Canaan. Bring your father and your households and come to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt and you will eat the fat of the land.' And you are commanded [to say], 'Do this - Take for yourselves from the land of Egypt wagons for your small children and for your wives; transport your father and come. And let your eyes not take pity on your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt — it is yours.' "
