Genesis 45:12-24 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. “And look, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Binyamin see that it is my mouth that speaks to you.

13. “And you shall inform my father of all my esteem in Mitsrayim, and of all that you have seen. And you shall hurry and bring my father down here.”

14. And he fell on his brother Binyamin’s neck and wept, and Binyamin wept on his neck.

15. And he kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers spoke with him.

16. And the report of it was heard by the house of Pharaoh, saying, “The brothers of Yosĕph have come.” And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants.

17. And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your beasts and go, enter the land of Kena‛an,

18. and take your father and your households and come to me, and I give you the best of the land of Mitsrayim, and you eat the fat of the land.

19. ‘And you, you have been commanded, do this: Take wagons out of the land of Mitsrayim for your little ones and your wives. And you shall bring your father, and come.

20. ‘And do not be concerned about your goods, for the best of all the land of Mitsrayim is yours.’ ”

21. And the sons of Yisra’ĕl did so. And Yosĕph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh, and he gave them food for the journey.

22. He gave to all of them, to each man, changes of garments, but to Binyamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of garments.

23. And he sent to his father this: ten donkeys loaded with the best of Mitsrayim, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, and bread, and food for his father for the journey.

24. So he sent his brothers away, and they left. And he said to them, “Do not quarrel along the way.”
