Genesis 45:9-22 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

9. Haste and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says thy son Joseph: God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, tarry not.

10. And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near to me, thou, and thy sons, and thy sons' sons, and thy sheep, and thy cattle, and all that thou hast.

11. And there will I maintain thee; for yet there are five years of famine; in order that thou be not impoverished, thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast.

12. And behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which speaks to you.

13. And tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen, and haste and bring down my father hither.

14. And he fell on his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept on his neck.

15. And he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them; and after that his brethren talked with him.

16. And the report was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come. And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his bondmen.

17. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to thy brethren, Do this: load your beasts and depart, go into the land of Canaan,

18. and take your father and your households, and come to me; and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.

19. And thou art commanded--this do: take waggons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and take up your father, and come.

20. And let not your eye regret your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt shall be yours.

21. And the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them waggons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.

22. To each one of them all he gave changes of clothing; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing.
