May God Almighty grant you mercy before the man, that he may release your other brother along with Benjamin. As for me, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved.”
Read word by wordSo the men took these gifts, along with double the amount of silver, and Benjamin as well. Then they hurried down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.
Read word by wordWhen Joseph saw Benjamin with his brothers, he said to the steward of his house, “Take these men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare it, for they shall dine with me at noon.”
Read word by wordThe man did as Joseph had commanded and took the brothers to Joseph’s house.
Read word by wordBut the brothers were frightened that they had been taken to Joseph’s house. “We have been brought here because of the silver that was returned in our bags the first time,” they said. “They intend to overpower us and take us as slaves, along with our donkeys.”
Read word by wordBut when we came to the place we lodged for the night, we opened our sacks and, behold, each of us found his silver in the mouth of his sack! It was the full amount of our silver, and we have brought it back with us.
Read word by word“It is fine,” said the steward. “Do not be afraid. Your God, the God of your father, gave you the treasure that was in your sacks. I received your silver.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.
Read word by wordAnd the steward took the men into Joseph’s house, gave them water to wash their feet, and provided food for their donkeys.
Read word by wordSince the brothers had been told that they were going to eat a meal there, they prepared their gift for Joseph’s arrival at noon.
Read word by wordWhen Joseph came home, they presented him with the gifts they had brought, and they bowed to the ground before him.
Read word by wordWhen Joseph looked up and saw his brother Benjamin, his own mother’s son, he asked, “Is this your youngest brother, the one you told me about?” Then he declared, “May God be gracious to you, my son.”
Read word by wordThen Joseph instructed his steward: “Fill the men’s sacks with as much food as they can carry, and put each one’s silver in the mouth of his sack.
Read word by wordPut my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one’s sack, along with the silver for his grain.” So the steward did as Joseph had instructed.
Read word by wordThey had not gone far from the city when Joseph told his steward, “Pursue the men at once, and when you overtake them, ask, ‘Why have you repaid good with evil?
Read word by wordWhen the steward overtook them, he relayed these words to them.
Read word by wordSo each one quickly lowered his sack to the ground and opened it.
Read word by word“What can we say to my lord?” Judah replied. “How can we plead? How can we justify ourselves? God has exposed the iniquity of your servants. We are now my lord’s slaves—both we and the one who was found with the cup.”
Read word by wordMy lord asked his servants, ‘Do you have a father or a brother?’
Read word by wordSo we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father. If he were to leave, his father would die.’
Read word by wordNow when we returned to your servant my father, we relayed your words to him.
Read word by wordNow if you also take this one from me and harm comes to him, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.’
Read word by wordsees that the boy is not with us, he will die. Then your servants will have brought the gray hair of your servant our father down to Sheol in sorrow.
Read word by wordIndeed, your servant guaranteed the boy’s safety to my father, saying, ‘If I do not return him to you, I will bear the guilt before you, my father, all my life.’
Read word by wordFor how can I go back to my father without the boy? I could not bear to see the misery that would overwhelm him.”
Read word by wordBut he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh’s household soon heard of it.
Read word by wordJoseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But they were unable to answer him, because they were terrified in his presence.
Read word by wordThen Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near me.” And they did so. “I am Joseph, your brother,” he said, “the one you sold into Egypt!
Read word by wordAnd now, do not be distressed or angry with yourselves that you sold me into this place, because it was to save lives that God sent me before you.
Read word by wordTherefore it was not you who sent me here, but God, who has made me a father to Pharaoh—lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
Read word by wordAnd there I will provide for you, because there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise, you and your household and everything you own will come to destitution.’
Read word by wordTell my father about all my splendor in Egypt and everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”
Read word by wordPharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do as follows: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan.
Read word by wordThen bring your father and your families and return to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat from the fat of the land.’
Read word by wordYou are also directed to tell them: ‘Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your young children and your wives, and bring your father and come back.
Read word by wordThen Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way!”
Read word by wordHowever, when they relayed all that Joseph had told them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob was revived.
Read word by wordThen Jacob departed from Beersheba, and the sons of Israel took their father Jacob in the wagons Pharaoh had sent to carry him, along with their children and wives.

Read word by wordThen Israel said to Joseph, “Finally I can die, now that I have seen your face and know that you are still alive!”
Read word by wordthe land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and brothers in the best part of the land. They may dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know of any talented men among them, put them in charge of my own livestock.”
Read word by wordThen Joseph brought in his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Read word by word“My travels have lasted 130 years,” Jacob replied. “My years have been few and hard, and they have not matched the years of the travels of my fathers.”
Read word by wordThen Jacob blessed Pharaoh and departed from his presence.
Read word by wordSo Joseph settled his father and brothers in the land of Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
