Jacob, Joseph & Egypt

and thou hast dwelt in the land of Goshen, and been near unto me, thou and thy sons, and thy son's sons, and thy flock, and thy herd, and all that thou hast,

and I have nourished thee there--for yet are five years of famine--lest thou become poor, thou and thy household, and all that thou hast.

`And lo, your eyes are seeing, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth which is speaking unto you;

and ye have declared to my father all my honour in Egypt, and all that ye have seen, and ye have hasted, and have brought down my father hither.'

And he falleth on the neck of Benjamin his brother, and weepeth, and Benjamin hath wept on his neck;

and he kisseth all his brethren, and weepeth over them; and afterwards have his brethren spoken with him.

And the sound hath been heard in the house of Pharaoh, saying, `Come have the brethren of Joseph;' and it is good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants,

and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `Say unto thy brethren, This do ye: lade your beasts, and go, enter ye the land of Canaan,

and take your father, and your households, and come unto me, and I give to you the good of the land of Egypt, and eat ye the fat of the land.

`Yea, thou--thou hast been commanded: this do ye, take for yourselves out of the land of Egypt, waggons for your infants, and for your wives, and ye have brought your father, and come;

and your eye hath no pity on your vessels, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.'

And the sons of Israel do so, and Joseph giveth waggons to them by the command of Pharaoh, and he giveth to them provision for the way;

to all of them hath he given--to each changes of garments, and to Benjamin he hath given three hundred silverlings, and five changes of garments;

and to his father he hath sent thus: ten asses bearing of the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses bearing corn and bread, even food for his father for the way.

And he sendeth his brethren away, and they go; and he saith unto them, `Be not angry in the way.'

And they go up out of Egypt, and come in to the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their father,

and they declare to him, saying, `Joseph is yet alive,' and that he is ruler over all the land of Egypt; and his heart ceaseth, for he hath not given credence to them.

And they speak unto him all the words of Joseph, which he hath spoken unto them, and he seeth the waggons which Joseph hath sent to bear him away, and live doth the spirit of Jacob their father;

and Israel saith, `Enough! Joseph my son is yet alive; I go and see him before I die.'

And Israel journeyeth, and all that he hath, and cometh in to Beer-Sheba, and sacrificeth sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac;

and God speaketh to Israel in visions of the night, and saith, `Jacob, Jacob;' and he saith, `Here am I.'

And He saith, `I am God, God of thy father, be not afraid of going down to Egypt, for for a great nation I set thee there;

I--I go down with thee to Egypt, and I--I also certainly bring thee up, and Joseph doth put his hand on thine eyes.'

And Jacob riseth from Beer-Sheba, and the sons of Israel bear away Jacob their father, And their infants, and their wives, in the waggons which Pharaoh hath sent to bear him,

and they take their cattle, and their goods which they have acquired in the land of Canaan, and come into Egypt--Jacob, and all his seed with him,
