Genesis 45:1-20

Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all those who stood by
him, and he cried out, "Send everyone away from me."  So no one stayed
with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.  And he wept so
loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard it.
Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph.  Is my father still alive?"
But his brothers could not answer him, so dismayed were they at his
presence.



Then Joseph said to his brothers, "Come closer to me."  And they came
closer.  He said, "I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.
And now do not be distressed, or angry with yourselves, because you sold
me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life.  For the famine has
been in the land these two years; and there are five more years in which
there will be neither plowing nor harvest.  God sent me before you to
preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many
survivors.  So it was not you who sent me here, but God; he has made me a
father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land
of Egypt.  Hurry and go up to my father and say to him, 'Thus says your
son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not
delay.  You shall settle in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me,
you and your children and your children's children, as well as your
flocks, your herds, and all that you have.  I will provide for you there —
since there are five more years of famine to come — so that you and your
household, and all that you have, will not come to poverty.'  And now your
eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my own mouth that
speaks to you.  You must tell my father how greatly I am honored in Egypt,
and all that you have seen.  Hurry and bring my father down here."  Then
he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, while Benjamin wept
upon his neck.  And he kissed all his brothers and wept upon them; and
after that his brothers talked with him.

When the report was heard in Pharaoh's house, "Joseph's brothers have
come," Pharaoh and his servants were pleased.  Pharaoh said to Joseph,
"Say to your brothers, 'Do this: load your animals and go back to the land
of Canaan.  Take your father and your households and come to me, so that I
may give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you may enjoy the fat of
the land.'  You are further charged to say, 'Do this: take wagons from the
land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your
father, and come.  Give no thought to your possessions, for the best of
all the land of Egypt is yours.'"
