New American Standard Bible
Chapter 45
10For you shall live in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your grandchildren, and your flocks and your herds and all that you have. 11There I will also provide for you, for there are still five years of famine to come, and you and your household and all that you have would be impoverished.'?’ 12Behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my mouth which is speaking to you. 13Now you must tell my father of all my splendor in Egypt, and all that you have seen; and you must hurry and bring my father down here.' 14Then he fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck. 15And he kissed all his brothers and wept on them, and afterward his brothers talked with him.
16Now when the news was heard in Pharaoh’s house that Joseph’s brothers had come, it pleased Pharaoh and his servants.
17Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, 'Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: load your livestock and go to the land of Canaan,
18and take your father and your households and come to me; and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.’
19Now you are ordered, ‘Do this: take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father and come.
20And do not concern yourselves with your property, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’?'
King James Version
Chapter 45
10And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast: 11And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty. 12And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you. 13And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
14And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
15Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
16And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
17And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
18And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
19Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
20Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.

Chapter 45
10You can settle in the land of Goshen and be near me—you, your children, and your grandchildren, your flocks, your herds, and all you have. 11There I will sustain you, for there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise, you, your household, and everything you have will become destitute."’ 12Look! Your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin can see that I’m the one speaking to you. 13Tell my father about all my glory in Egypt and about all you have seen. And bring my father here quickly."
14Then Joseph threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept on his shoulder.
15Joseph kissed each of his brothers as he wept, and afterward his brothers talked with him.
16When the news reached Pharaoh’s palace, "Joseph’s brothers have come," Pharaoh and his servants were pleased.
17Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals and go on back to the land of Canaan.
18Get your father and your families, and come back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you can eat from the richness of the land.’
19You are also commanded to tell them, ‘Do this: Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your dependents and your wives and bring your father here.
20Do not be concerned about your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’"

Chapter 45
10You can live in the region of Goshen, where you can be near me with all your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and everything you own. 11I will take care of you there, for there are still five years of famine ahead of us. Otherwise you, your household, and all your animals will starve.’'
12Then Joseph added, 'Look! You can see for yourselves, and so can my brother Benjamin, that I really am Joseph!
13Go tell my father of my honored position here in Egypt. Describe for him everything you have seen, and then bring my father here quickly.'
14Weeping with joy, he embraced Benjamin, and Benjamin did the same.
15Then Joseph kissed each of his brothers and wept over them, and after that they began talking freely with him.
17Pharaoh said to Joseph, 'Tell your brothers, ‘This is what you must do: Load your pack animals, and hurry back to the land of Canaan.
18Then get your father and all of your families, and return here to me. I will give you the very best land in Egypt, and you will eat from the best that the land produces.’'
