9. “Now hurry back to my father and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me master over all the land of Egypt. So come down to me immediately!
10. You can live in the region of Goshen, where you can be near me with all your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and everything you own.
11. I will take care of you there, for there are still five years of famine ahead of us. Otherwise you, your household, and all your animals will starve.’”
12. Then Joseph added, “Look! You can see for yourselves, and so can my brother Benjamin, that I really am Joseph!
13. Go tell my father of my honored position here in Egypt. Describe for him everything you have seen, and then bring my father here quickly.”
14. Weeping with joy, he embraced Benjamin, and Benjamin did the same.
15. Then Joseph kissed each of his brothers and wept over them, and after that they began talking freely with him.
