Genesis 45:1-5, Reads, Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried out, "Make everyone go out from me! While he reveals himself to his brothers. And Joseph said, I am Joseph your brother, does my father still live? his brothers could not answer him, because they were troubled in his presence. Joseph said to his brothers, come near to me, and they came near. Joseph said to them I am your brother whom you sold into Egypt. Now be not grieved, nor angry, with yourselves, that you sold me: For God did send me before to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. [God's love out weights the hurtful experiences, of his brothers, and he was able to forgive them from his heart. and enjoy peace with God.]
Genesis 45:8-18 Joseph said, So now it is not you that sent me here, but God: And Pharaoh hath made me lord over all his house, and ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus say your son Joseph, God hath made me lord over Egypt: come down to me tarry not: And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and be near to me, thou and thy Children, and thy Children's Children; and thy flocks, thy herds.And there will I nourish thee for there are yet five years of famine. Then he fell on his brother Benjamin neck and wept, and he kissed all his brother and wept, and talk to his brothers,[ though the pain was great, for Joseph, his attitude towards his brothers were wonderfully loving, and kind.]
Genesis 45:21-28, Joseph gave them carts, according to the command of Pharaoh, and provision for the journey. He gave to every man changes of garments, and for his father ten donkeys loaded with good things from Egypt, grains,bread, and food for his father for the journey. He told his brothers see that you do not become troubled on the way. Then they came to the land of Canaan to there father. And they told him saying, "Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. Jacob heart stop for awhile, because he did not believed them. But when they told him all the words of Joseph his spirit revived. then he said, it is enough; Joseph my son is alive. [It was a joyful news given to Jacob he live to see his son that he thought was dead, but God had preserved him,thanks be to God, His love has no limits]
Genesis 46:1-And Israel took the journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac. And God spoke to him in a vision in the night and said Jacob, Jacob, and he said here I am. God, said, I AM God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; For I will make thee a great nation: I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will surely bring you up again. And the sons of Jacob carried their father, and there little ones, and there wives, there sons and daughters, there livestock and all that they had, and all his descendants he brought into Egypt. When they arrived Joseph went and told Pharaoh that his brethren, and his father's house was there, from the land of Canaan. and Joseph brought in his father Jacob to Pharaoh. and Jacob blessed Pharaoh. [At the invitation of Joseph Jacob went to Egypt, he arranged for them to get the best, with Pharaoh's help, and the goodness of God.]

Joseph tested his Brothers affection for his younger brother Benjamin, and his father
Joseph showed special regard for Benjamin, that he might see if his Brothers would envied his brother Rachel son Benjamin, as they has hated him. After they eat drink and make merry with Joseph, and stayed the night. Genesis 44:1-15 And Joseph command the steward of his house to fill the men's sock's with food, and put every man's money in his sacks mouth. And Joseph's silver cup in Benjamin sacks, with his money. In the morning the men were sent away, When they were out of the City. Joseph said to his steward, up follow after the men; over take them and said, wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good? Is not this cup my master drink from? how then could you have stole my lord silver cup? behold the money that was in our sacks we brought it back, why then would we take my lord, silver cup. With whomsoever of thy servant the cup is found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's servant. And he search the brother's sacks, and the cup was found in Benjamin's sacks.
Then they rent there clothes. and return to Joseph house, Joseph said to them what have you done. Judah said, what shall we say unto my lord? how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold we are my lord's servants, both we and he also with whom the cup was found. Joseph said, God forbid, the man in whose hand the cup was found, he shall be my servant; Then Judah came near unto him, I pray thee let thy servant speak, let not anger burn against thy servant: we have a father he is an old man, and Benjamin was a child of his old age. and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother. And if he leave his father, his father will die.
Now therefore when I come to my Father, if the lad is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in
the lad's life. And when he see that the lad is not with us, thy servant shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. for thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, if I bring him not again to my father, I shall bear the blame for ever. Now therefore, let thy servant abide instead of the lad.and let the lad go up with his brethren. For how can I go up to my father, and the lad is not with me, lest perhaps I see the evil that shall come upon my father.
