Genesis 45v1-28

Heavenly father, give us grace to be reconciled to others today. 

¹  Then Joseph couldn’t control himself before all those who stood before him, and he called out, “Cause everyone to go out from me!”
No one else stood with him, while Joseph made himself known to his brothers. 
² He wept aloud. The Egyptians heard, and the house of Pharaoh heard. 
³ Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Does my father still live?”
His brothers couldn’t answer him; for they were terrified at his presence. 
⁴ Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.”
They came near. He said, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into Egypt. 
⁵ Now don’t be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life. 
⁹ Hurry, and go up to my father, and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says, “God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me. Don’t wait. ¹⁰ You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be near to me, you, your children, your children’s children, your flocks, your herds, and all that you have. ¹¹ There I will provide for you; for there are yet five years of famine”
¹⁴ He fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck. 
¹⁵ He kissed all his brothers, and wept on them. After that his brothers talked with him.

¹⁶ The report of it was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” It pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants. 
²⁴ So Joseph sent his brothers away, and they departed. He said to them, “See that you don’t quarrel on the way.”

²⁵ They went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father. 
²⁶ They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” His heart fainted, for he didn’t believe them. 
²⁷ They told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them.
When he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob, their father, revived. 
²⁸ Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
