9. Hurry, and go up to my father, and say to him: 'Your son Joseph commands this: God has caused me to be lord of the entire land of Egypt. Come down to me, do not delay,
10. and you will live in the land of Goshen. And you will be next to me, you and your sons and the sons of your sons, your sheep and your herds, and all that you possess.
11. And there I will pasture you, (for there are still five years of famine remaining) lest both you and your house perish, along with all that you possess.'
12. Behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that it is my mouth speaking to you.
13. You will report to my father about all my glory, and about all that you have seen in Egypt. Hurry, and bring him to me."
14. And then falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept. And likewise, Benjamin wept at the same time on his neck.
15. And Joseph kissed all his brothers, and he cried over each one. After this, they were emboldened to speak to him.
16. And it was overheard, and the news spread by word throughout the king's court. The brothers of Joseph had arrived, and Pharaoh was gladdened along with all his family.
17. And he told Joseph that he should command his brothers, saying: " 'Burden your beasts, and go into the land of Canaan,
18. and take from there your father and kindred, and come to me. And I will give you all the good things of Egypt, so that you may eat from the marrow of the land.' "
19. "And you may even instruct that they take wagons from the land of Egypt, in order to transport their little ones as well as their wives. And say: 'Take your father, and come quickly, as soon as possible.
20. You need not give up anything from your household, for all the riches of Egypt will be yours.' "
