Genesis

And Ioseph [was] not able to withhold of all [to] the [ones] standing beside him. Thus, he said: "Send all away from me." And no one stood beside Ioseph when he made himself known to his brothers.

And he let [it] go with a voice of weeping. And all the Aigyptiois heard [it], and it became audible into the house of Pharao.

And Ioseph said to his brothers: "I am Ioseph. [Does] my father still live?" And the brothers [were] not able to respond to him, for they were disturbed.

And Ioseph said to his brothers: "Approach towards to me." And they approached. And he said: "I am your brother Ioseph, whom you delivered into Aigyptos.

Now then, be not distressed, nor let it appear harsh to you that you delivered me here, for the Theos sent me into life before you.

For this second year [there is] famine upon the earth, and [there are] still five years remaining in which there is no ploughing nor harvest.

For the Theos sent me before you [that there might] be left to you a remnant upon the earth, even a great remnant to nourish you.

Now then, you did not send me here, but the Theos. And he has made me as [a] father to Pharao, and lord of all his house, and ruler of all [the] land of Aigyptos.

Hastening then, you ascend to my father, and say to him: 'Thus says your son Ioseph: The Theos made me lord of all the land of Aigyptos. Therefore, come down to me, and remain not [there].

And you shall dwell in [the] land of Gesem of Arabia. And you will be near me, you and your sons, and the sons of your sons, your sheep and your cows, and as much as is yours.

And I will nourish you there, for [there is] still five years of famine, that you shall not be obliterated, you and your sons, and all your possessions.'

Behold: Your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Beniamin, that my mouth [is] speaking to you.

Therefore, report [to] my father all my glory in Aigyptos, and as much as you saw. And hastening, bring down my father here.

And falling upon the neck of his brother Beniamin, he wept upon him. And Beniamin wept upon his neck.

And kissing all his brothers, he wept upon them. And after this, his brothers spoke to him.

And the report was proclaimed forth into the house of Pharao, saying: "The brothers of Ioseph have come." And Pharao rejoiced, and his service.

And Pharao said [to] Ioseph: "Say to your brothers: 'Do this: Fill your carriages, and go forth into [the] land of Chanaán.

And taking up your father and your possessions, come to me. And I will give to you of all the good [things] of Aigyptos. And you shall eat the marrow of the land.'

And you charge them to take for them wagons from out of [the] land of Aigyptos for your children and your wives. 'And taking up your father, come!

And be not sparing to the eyes of your goods, for all the good [things] of Aigyptos will be unto you."

And they did thus, the sons of Israél. And Ioseph gave to them wagons, according to the sayings by the king Pharao. And he gave to them provisions for the journey.

And he gave to all double robes. But to Beniamin, he gave three hundred [pieces] of gold, and five changings of robes.

And to his father, he sent according to the same, and ten donkeys carrying [the gifts] of all the good [things] of Aigyptos, and ten mules carrying bread loaves to his father into the journey.

And he sent out his brothers, and they went. And he said to them: "Do not be provoked to anger in the way."

And they ascended from out of Aigyptos. And they came into [the] land of Chanaán, to their father Iakob.

And they announced to him, saying that: "Your son Ioseph lives, and he rules over all [the] land of Aigyptos." And Iakob receded in [his] thought, for he did not trust them.

But they spoke to him all the sayings of Ioseph, as much as he said to them. And seeing the wagons which Ioseph sent, so as to take him, the spirit of their father Iakob rekindled.

And Israél said: "It is great to me if my son Ioseph still lives. In going, I will see him before dying."
