Chap. XLV.
Ioseph manifesteth himself to his bretheren. who being much terified he comforteth
them, and weeping embraceth euerie one. 16. The bruite wherof
coming to Pharao, he congratulating commandeth Ioseph to cal his father
with al his familie into Ægypt. 21. So the eleuen brothers are sent away
with giftes and prouision for Iacobs iourney. 26. Al which the father
vnderstanding is reuiued in spirite.
1 Ioseph could no longer refrayne manie standing by in
presence: wherupon he commanded that al should goe
forth, and no stranger should be present at their acknowledging
one of another.
2 And he lifted vp his voice with
weeping, which the Ægyptians heard, and al the house of
Pharao.
3 And he said to his Brethren: I am Ioseph: is my
father yet liuing? His brethren could not answer him being
teribly astonyed out of measure.
4 To whom gently he said:
Come hither to me. And when they were come nere him,
I am, quoth he, Ioseph, your brother, whom you solde into
Ægypt.
5 Be not affraid, neither let it seeme to you a hard case
that you did sel me into these countries: for note God sent me
before you into Ægypt for your preseruation.
6 For it is
two yeares since the famin begain to be vpon the earth, and
yet fiue yeares remaine, wherin there can be neither caring
nor reaping.
7 And God sent me before, that you may be preserued
-- --
Ioseph.
vpon the earth, and may haue victuals to liue.
8 Not
by your counsail, but by the wil of God was I sent hither:
who hath made me as it were a father to Pharao, and lord of
his whole house, and prince in al the land of Ægypt.
9 Make
hast and get ye vp to my father, and you shal say to him: Thy
sonne Ioseph willeth thus: God hath made me lord of the
whole land of Ægypt: come downe to me, tary not.
10 And
thou shalt dwel in the land of Gessen: and thou shalt be nere
me thou and thy sonnes, and thy sonnes children, thy shepe,
and thy heardes. and al things that thou dost possesse.
11 And
there I wil fede thee (for yet there are fiue yeares of famine
remayning) lest both thou perish, and thy house, & al things
that thou dost possesse.
12 Behold, your eyes, and the eyes
of my brother Beniamin doe see, that it is my mouth that
speaketh vnto you.
13 Report to my father my whole glorie
and al things that you haue seene in Ægypt: make hast, and
bring him to me.
14 And falling vpon the neck of his brother
Beniamin, embracing him he wept: he also in like maner
weeping vpon his neck.
15 And Ioseph kissed al his brethren,
and wept vpon euerie one: after which things they were
bold to speake vnto him.
16 And it was heard of, and very
famously reported abrode in the kings courte: The brethren
of Ioseph are come: and note Pharao was glad, and al his familie.
17 And he spake to Ioseph that he should command his
brethren, saying: Loading your beasts goe into the Land of
Chanaan,
18 and take thence your father and kinne, and come
to me: and I wil geue you al the good things of Ægypt, that
you may eate the marow of the land.
19 Geue commandment
also that they take waynes out of the land of Ægypt,
for the carage of their litle ones and wyues: and say: Take
vp your father, and make hast to come with al spede.
20 Neither
doe you leaue any thing of your houshould stuffe: for
al the riches of Ægypt, shal be yours.
21 And the sonnes of
Israel did as it was commanded them. To whom Ioseph
gaue waynes according to Pharaos commandment: and
victuals for the way.
22 He bad also to be brought vp for
euery one two robes: but to Beniamin he gaue three hundred
peeces of siluer with fiue robes of the best:
23 sending to his
father as much money and rayment, adding besides them he
asses that should carie of al the riches of Ægypt, and as many
shee asses, carying wheat for the iourney and bread.
24 Therfore
-- --
Ioseph.
he dismissed his brethren, and when they were departing
he said to them:09Q0096 Be not angrie in the way.
25 Who
going vp out of Ægypt, came into the land of Chanaan to
their father Iacob.
26 And they told him saying: Ioseph thy
sonne is liuing: and he ruleth in al the Land of Ægypt. Which
when Iacob heard, awaking as it were out of a heauie sleepe,
notwithstanding did not beleeue them.
27 They on the contrarie
side reported the whole order of the thing. And when
he sawe the waynes and al things that he had sent, his spirit
reuiued,
28 and he said: It sufficeth me if Ioseph my sonne
be liuing yet: I wil goe, and see him before I dye.
