CHAP. XLV.
1. Ioseph maketh himselfe knowne to his brethren. 5, Hee comforteth them in Gods providence. 9, Hee sendeth for his father. 16, Pharach confirmeth it. 21, Ioseph furnisheth them for their journey, and exhor∣teth them to concord. 25, Iakob is revived with the newes.
ANd Ioseph could not refraine himselfe, before all that stood by him; and he cry∣ed, [unspec 1] Cause every man to goe-out from mee: and there stood not a man with him, when Ioseph made himselfe knowne, unto his bre∣thren. And he gave forth his voice, with wee∣ping: [unspec 2] and the Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard. And Ioseph said unto his [unspec 3] brethren, I am Ioseph; is my father yet li∣ving? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were suddenly troubled at his presence. And Ioseph said unto his brethren; [unspec 4] Come neere to mee I pray you, and they came neere: and he said, I, am Ioseph your brother; hee whom you sold, into Egypt. And now, bee not grieved; neither let there [unspec 5] be anger in your eyes, that ye sold mee hi∣ther: for God did send me before you, for preservation-of-life. For these two yeeres [unspec 6] hath the famine beene in midst of the land: and yet, (there are) five yeeres; in which there shall be no earing, or harvest. And God sent [unspec 7] me, before you; to put for you a remnant, in the earth: and to preserve life unto you, by a great escaping. And now, not-you send [unspec 8] me hither, but God: and he hath put me, for a father to Pharaoh; and a Lord, to all his house; and a ruler, in all the land of Egypt. Haste you, and goe up to my father; and say [unspec 9] unto him: thus saith thy sonne Ioseph; God hath put me for a Lord, of all Egypt: come downe unto mee, stand not still. And thou [unspec 10] shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be neere unto me; thou, and thy sonnes, and thy sonnes sonnes: and thy flocks and thy herds, and all that thou hast. And I will [unspec 11] nourish thee, there; for yet, (there are) five yeeres of famine: lest thou be impoverished, thou and thy house, and all that thou hast. [unspec 12] And behold, your eyes see; and the eyes of my brother Benjamin: that it is my mouth, that speaketh unto you. And you shall tell [unspec 13] my father of all my glory in Egypt; and of all that ye have seene: and ye shall haste, and bring-downe my father; hither. And he fell [unspec 14] upon his brother Benjamins necke, & wept: and Benjamin, wept upon his necke. And [unspec 15] hee kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and afterward, his brethren spake with him. And the voyce was heard, in Pharaohs [unspec 16] house, saying; Iosephs brethren, are come: and it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh: and in the eyes of his servants. And Pharaoh said unto Ioseph; say unto thy brethren, this doe [unspec 17] ye; lade your beasts, and goe get ye, to the land of Canaan. And take our father, & your [unspec 18] houses, and come unto me: and I will give you, the good of the land of Egypt; and yee shall eate, the fat of the land. And thou art [unspec 19] commanded, this doe ye: take unto you out of the land of Egypt, wagons, for your little ones, and for your wives; and take-up your father, and come. And your eye, let it not [unspec 20] spare your stuffe: so the good of all the land of Egypt, is yours. And the sonnes of Israel [unspec 21] did so; and Ioseph gave them wagons, ac∣cording to the mouth of Pharaoh: and gave them provision, for the way. To all of them [unspec 22]
