Genesis 45 (résumé): Joseph makes himself known

Joseph could not bear it any longer, so finally told his brothers who he was, and they froze in silent fear! But Joseph told them not to be afraid because all that had happened had been part of God's plan to save lives. Joseph then told them to go and get his father and all his people, flocks and herds so that he could care for them in the 5 years of famine which were still ahead. Joseph wept and hugged Benjamin and kissed all his brothers. When Pharoah got to hear about this family reunion he was thrilled and told them to bring Jacob and all to enjoy the fat of the land. So the brothers travelled to Canaan and gave their father the wonderful news that Joseph was alive as the governor of all Egypt! At first he couldn't believe it, but when he saw all the carts that convinced him, and he agreed to go to Egypt to see Joseph before he died.
