Genesis 45:8-13 Good News Bible (GNB)

8. So it was not really you who sent me here, but God. He has made me the king's highest official. I am in charge of his whole country; I am the ruler of all Egypt.

9. “Now hurry back to my father and tell him that this is what his son Joseph says: ‘God has made me ruler of all Egypt; come to me without delay.

10. You can live in the region of Goshen, where you can be near me — you, your children, your grandchildren, your sheep, your goats, your cattle, and everything else that you have.

11. If you are in Goshen, I can take care of you. There will still be five years of famine; and I do not want you, your family, and your livestock to starve.’ ”

12. Joseph continued, “Now all of you, and you too, Benjamin, can see that I am really Joseph.

13. Tell my father how powerful I am here in Egypt and tell him about everything that you have seen. Then hurry and bring him here.”
