(this is a scan from the exact, authentic, original 1611 'HE' King James Bible)

1 Then Ioseph could not refraine himselfe before all them that stood by him: and he cried, Cause euery man to goe out from me; and there stood no man with him, while Ioseph made himselfe knowen vnto his brethren.

2 And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians, and the house of Pharaoh heard.

3 And Ioseph said vnto his brethren, I am Ioseph; Doeth my father yet liue? and his brethren could not answere him: for they were troubled at his presence.

4 And Ioseph said vnto his brethren, Come neere to me, I pray you: and they came neere; and he said, I am Ioseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.

5 Now therefore bee not grieued, nor angry with your selues, that yee sold me hither: for God did send me before you, to preserue life.

6 For these two yeeres hath the famine bene in the land: and yet there are fiue yeeres, in the which there shall neither be earing nor haruest.

7 And God sent me before you, to preserue you a posteritie in the earth, and to saue your liues by a great deliuerance.

8 So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

9 Haste you, and goe vp to my father, and say vnto him, Thus saith thy sonne Ioseph; God hath made me lord of all Egypt; come downe vnto me, tary not.

10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be neere vnto me, thou, and thy children, and thy childrens children, and thy flockes, and thy heards, and all that thou hast.

11 And there wil I nourish thee, (for yet there are fiue yeeres of famine) lest thou and thy houshold, and all that thou hast, come to pouertie.

12 And behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Beniamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh vnto you.

13 And you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you haue seene, and ye shall haste, and bring downe my father hither.

14 And he fel vpon his brother Beniamins necke, and wept: and Beniamin wept vpon his necke.

15 Moreouer hee kissed all his brethren, and wept vpon them: and after that, his brethren talked with him.

16 ¶ And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaohs house, saying, Iosephs brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his seruants.

17 And Pharaoh said vnto Ioseph, Say vnto thy brethren, This doe yee, lade your beasts and goe, get you vnto the land of Canaan.

18 And take your father, and your housholds, and come vnto mee: and I wil giue you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.

19 Now thou art commanded, this doe yee; Take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wiues, and bring your father, and come.

20 Also regard not your stuffe: for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.

21 And the children of Israel did so: and Ioseph gaue them wagons, according to the commandement of Pharaoh, and gaue them prouision for the way.

22 To all of them he gaue each man changes of raiment: but to Beniamin hee gaue three hundred pieces of siluer, and fiue changes of raiment.

23 And to his father hee sent after this maner: ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten shee asses laden with corne, and bread and meat for his father by the way.

24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and hee said vnto them, See that yee fall not out by the way.

25 ¶ And they went vp out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan vnto Iacob their father,

26 And told him, saying, Ioseph is yet aliue, and he is gouernour ouer all the land of Egypt. And Iacobs heart fainted, for he beleeued them not.

27 And they told him all the words of Ioseph, which hee had saide vnto them: and when hee saw the wagons which Ioseph had sent to carie him, the spirit of Iacob their father reuiued.

28 And Israel said, It is enough; Ioseph my sonne is yet aliue: I will goe and see him before I die.

S Long's Genesis Chapter 45 comment on 5/14/2013, 5:54am...

WOW – What a Story of forgiveness! If we could only understand that our Heavenly Father has everything in the palm of his hand. He is the Mighty God. He has the master plan and a purpose for our lives. We are special to him. Please don’t hold malice against anyone and miss what our Father has for you.

 


Olayinka oye's Genesis Chapter 45 comment on 1/20/2013, 12:23am...

Joseph knew that God preserved him for a purpose. No wonder he told his brothers in Genesis 45:5, Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me to preserve life. You can imagine what could have happen if Joseph was not sold into slavery in Egypt. There he was able to realize his dreams. That difficult situation in our lives is to take us to our expected end if we don't quit or look for a short cut different from God's agenda for us. There is a purpose in God's heart in preserving us in that great challenge we are facing. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose, Romans 8:28.

 


Timothy Wayne George's Genesis Chapter 45 comment on 5/22/2012, 6:11am...

Joseph does not blame his brothers for the evil things that happened to him, rather he said God sent him ahead of them to preserve life. Joseph completely forgives his brothers, and tells them to go and get his father. Joseph weeps with his brothers, and kisses each one of them, to show his love for all of them. In order to be children of God we must love one another, and forgive each other as God has commanded. We are to forgive 70 x 7 as Jesus told Peter. Which is to say completely forgive from the heart, just as Joseph forgave his brothers. We must always look to see the hand of God in everything that comes our way. God causes both good, and bad things to work together for our ultimate good to those who love him, and are called according to his purpose. Never become bitter at people God uses, but rather praise God for allowing people to be used for his glory. That is why Jesus said on the cross father forgive them, for they know not what they do. Jesus knows all things, and he said I came down from heaven to do all those things that please my father. We praise God, and give him the glory for what he is doing in our lives.

Notice the language barrier here. Joseph had to interperate and translate what pharoh was saying. This demonstrates how even though the languages were close, they were different. Think like someone speaking french to a portugese person.

 


RALPH M. WATERS's Genesis Chapter 45 comment on 1/11/2011, 11:39am...

Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.

We will always in this life run into situations that will cause us disconfort. But remember GOD is at work in all things. We learn as children and therefore we are chastised as such. We also are rewarded just as equally.

Joseph had the FULL ARMOUR OF THE LORD on, during this entire period. We need to learn from the examples that are in GOD'S WORD.

PUT on the FULL ARMOUR of THE LORD and walk by FAITH not by sight.

Distractions will be here - But JUST KNOW GOD is in charge.
