New Testament

Genesis 45:8-14 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

8. Now, therefore, it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

9. Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, 'Thus says your son Joseph, "God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not delay.

10. You shall live in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your children's children and your flocks and your herds and all that you have.

11. There I will also provide for you, for there are still five years of famine to come, and you and your household and all that you have would be impoverished."'

12. Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my mouth which is speaking to you.

13. Now you must tell my father of all my splendor in Egypt, and all that you have seen; and you must hurry and bring my father down here."

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