1 Then Joseph3130 could3201 not3808 refrain himself662 before all3605 them that stood5324 by5921 him; and he cried,7121 Cause every3605 man376 to go out3318 from4480 5921 me. And there stood5975 no3808 man376 with854 him, while Joseph3130 made himself known3045 unto413 his brethren.251 2 And he wept aloud:5414 853 6963 1065 and the Egyptians4714 and the house1004 of Pharaoh6547 heard.8085 3 And Joseph3130 said559 unto413 his brethren,251 I589 am Joseph;3130 doth my father1 yet5750 live?2416 And his brethren251 could3201 not3808 answer6030 him; for3588 they were troubled926 at his presence.4480 6440 4 And Joseph3130 said559 unto413 his brethren,251 Come near5066 to413 me, I pray you.4994 And they came near.5066 And he said,559 I589 am Joseph3130 your brother,251 whom834 ye sold4376 into Egypt.4714 5 Now6258 therefore be not408 grieved,6087 nor408 angry2734 with yourselves,5869 that3588 ye sold4376 me hither:2008 for3588 God430 did send7971 me before6440 you to preserve life.4241 6 For3588 these2088 two years8141 hath the famine7458 been in7130 the land:776 and yet5750 there are five2568 years,8141 in the which834 there shall neither369 be earing2758 nor harvest.7105 7 And God430 sent7971 me before6440 you to preserve7760 you a posterity7611 in the earth,776 and to save your lives2421 by a great1419 deliverance.6413 8 So now6258 it was not3808 you859 that sent7971 me hither,2008 but3588 God:430 and he hath made7760 me a father1 to Pharaoh,6547 and lord113 of all3605 his house,1004 and a ruler4910 throughout all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714 9 Haste4116 ye, and go up5927 to413 my father,1 and say559 unto413 him, Thus3541 saith559 thy son1121 Joseph,3130 God430 hath made7760 me lord113 of all3605 Egypt:4714 come down3381 unto413 me, tarry5975 not:408 10 And thou shalt dwell3427 in the land776 of Goshen,1657 and thou shalt be1961 near7138 unto413 me, thou,859 and thy children,1121 and thy children's1121 children,1121 and thy flocks,6629 and thy herds,1241 and all3605 that834 thou hast: 11 And there8033 will I nourish3557 thee; for3588 yet5750 there are five2568 years8141 of famine;7458 lest6435 thou,859 and thy household,1004 and all3605 that834 thou hast, come to poverty.3423 12 And, behold,2009 your eyes5869 see,7200 and the eyes5869 of my brother251 Benjamin,1144 that3588 it is my mouth6310 that speaketh1696 unto413 you. 13 And ye shall tell5046 my father1 of 853 all3605 my glory3519 in Egypt,4714 and of all3605 that834 ye have seen;7200 and ye shall haste4116 and bring down3381 853 my father1 hither.2008 14 And he fell5307 upon5921 his brother251 Benjamin's1144 neck,6677 and wept;1058 and Benjamin1144 wept1058 upon5921 his neck.6677 15 Moreover he kissed5401 all3605 his brethren,251 and wept1058 upon5921 them: and after310 that3651 his brethren251 talked1696 with854 him. 16 And the fame6963 thereof was heard8085 in Pharaoh's6547 house,1004 saying,559 Joseph's3130 brethren251 are come:935 and it pleased Pharaoh well,3190 5869 6547 and his servants.5650 17 And Pharaoh6547 said559 unto413 Joseph,3130 Say559 unto413 thy brethren,251 This2063 do6213 ye; lade2943 853 your beasts,1165 and go,1980 get935 you unto the land776 of Canaan;3667 18 And take3947 853 your father1 and your households,1004 and come935 unto413 me: and I will give5414 you 853 the good2898 of the land776 of Egypt,4714 and ye shall eat398 853 the fat2459 of the land.776 19 Now thou859 art commanded,6680 this2063 do6213 ye; take3947 you wagons5699 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt4714 for your little ones,2945 and for your wives,802 and bring5375 853 your father,1 and come.935 20 Also regard5869 2347 not408 your stuff;3627 for3588 the good2898 of all3605 the land776 of Egypt4714 is yours. 21 And the children1121 of Israel3478 did6213 so:3651 and Joseph3130 gave5414 them wagons,5699 according to5921 the commandment6310 of Pharaoh,6547 and gave5414 them provision6720 for the way.1870 22 To all3605 of them he gave5414 each man376 changes2487 of raiment;8071 but to Benjamin1144 he gave5414 three7969 hundred3967 pieces of silver,3701 and five2568 changes2487 of raiment.8071 23 And to his father1 he sent7971 after this2063 manner; ten6235 asses2543 laden5375 with the good things4480 2898 of Egypt,4714 and ten6235 she asses860 laden5375 with corn1250 and bread3899 and meat4202 for his father1 by the way.1870 24 So he sent7971 853 his brethren251 away, and they departed:1980 and he said559 unto413 them, See that ye fall not out7264 408 by the way.1870 25 And they went up5927 out of Egypt,4480 4714 and came935 into the land776 of Canaan3667 unto413 Jacob3290 their father,1 26 And told5046 him, saying,559 Joseph3130 is yet5750 alive,2416 and he1931 is governor4910 over all3605 the land776 of Egypt.4714 And Jacob's heart3820 fainted,6313 for3588 he believed539 them not.3808 27 And they told1696 413 him 853 all3605 the words1697 of Joseph,3130 which834 he had said1696 unto413 them: and when he saw7200 853 the wagons5699 which834 Joseph3130 had sent7971 to carry5375 him, the spirit7307 of Jacob3290 their father1 revived:2421 28 And Israel3478 said,559 It is enough;7227 Joseph3130 my son1121 is yet5750 alive:2416 I will go1980 and see7200 him before2962 I die.4191 |

1 Non se poterat ultra cohibere Joseph multis coram astantibus: unde præcepit ut egrederentur cuncti foras, et nullus interesset alienus agnitioni mutuæ. 2 Elevavitque vocem cum fletu, quam audierunt Ægyptii, omnisque domus Pharaonis. 3 Et dixit fratribus suis: Ego sum Joseph: adhuc pater meus vivit? Non poterant respondere fratres nimio terrore perterriti. 4 Ad quos ille clementer: Accedite, inquit, ad me. Et cum accessissent prope: Ego sum, ait, Joseph, frater vester, quem vendidistis in Ægyptum. 5 Nolite pavere, neque vobis durum esse videatur quod vendidistis me in his regionibus: pro salute enim vestra misit me Deus ante vos in Ægyptum. 6 Biennium est enim quod cœpit fames esse in terra: et adhuc quinque anni restant, quibus nec arari poterit, nec meti. 7 Præmisitque me Deus ut reservemini super terram, et escas ad vivendum habere possitis. 8 Non vestro consilio, sed Dei voluntate huc missum sum: qui fecit me quasi patrem Pharaonis, et dominum universæ domus ejus, ac principem in omni terra Ægypti. 9 Festinate, et ascendite ad patrem meum, et dicetis ei: Hæc mandat filius tuus Joseph: Deus fecit me dominum universæ terræ Ægypti: descende ad me, ne moreris, 10 et habitabis in terra Gessen: erisque juxta me tu, et filii tui, et filii filiorum tuorum, oves tuæ, et armenta tua, et universa quæ possides: 11 ibique te pascam (adhuc enim quinque anni residui sunt famis) ne et tu pereas, et domus tua, et omnia quæ possides. 12 En oculi vestri, et oculi fratris mei Benjamin, vident quod os meum loquatur ad vos. 13 Nuntiate patri meo universam gloriam meam, et cuncta quæ vidistis in Ægypto: festinate, et adducite eum ad me. 14 Cumque amplexatus recidisset in collum Benjamin fratris sui, flevit: illo quoque similiter flente super collum ejus. 15 Osculatusque est Joseph omnes fratres suos, et ploravit super singulos: post quæ ausi sunt loqui ad eum. 16 Auditumque est, et celebri sermone vulgatum in aula regis: Venerunt fratres Joseph: et gavisus est Pharao, atque omnis familia ejus. 17 Dixitque ad Joseph ut imperaret fratribus suis, dicens: Onerantes jumenta, ite in terram Chanaan, 18 et tollite inde patrem vestrum et cognationem, et venite ad me: et ego dabo vobis omnia bona Ægypti, ut comedatis medullam terræ. 19 Præcipe etiam ut tollant plaustra de terra Ægypti, ad subvectionem parvulorum suorum ac conjugum: et dicito: Tollite patrem vestrum, et properate quantocius venientes. 20 Nec dimittatis quidquam de supellectili vestra: quia omnes opes Ægypti vestræ erunt. 21 Feceruntque filii Israël ut eis mandatum fuerat. Quibus dedit Joseph plaustra, secundum Pharaonis imperium, et cibaria in itinere. 22 Singulis quoque proferri jussit binas stolas: Benjamin vero dedit trecentos argenteos cum quinque stolis optimis: 23 tantumdem pecuniæ et vestium mittens patri suo, addens et asinos decem, qui subveherent ex omnibus divitiis Ægypti, et totidem asinas, triticum in itinere, panesque portantes. 24 Dimisit ergo fratres suos, et proficiscentibus ait: Ne irascamini in via. 25 Qui ascendentes ex Ægypto, venerunt in terram Chanaan ad patrem suum Jacob. 26 Et nuntiaverunt ei, dicentes: Joseph filius tuus vivit: et ipse dominatur in omni terra Ægypti. Quo audito Jacob, quasi de gravi somno evigilans, tamen non credebat eis. 27 Illi e contra referebant omnem ordinem rei. Cumque vidisset plaustra et universa quæ miserat, revixit spiritus ejus, 28 et ait: Sufficit mihi si adhuc Joseph filius meus vivit: vadam, et videbo illum antequam moriar. |
