Genesis 45:13 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 45:13

And you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt
His wealth and riches, his grandeur and dignity, his power and authority:

and of all that you have seen;
what a magnificent house he dwelt in; what a numerous train of servants he had; in what majesty he rode in the second chariot to the king; and what authority he exercised over the people, and what reverence they gave him, and what power he had, particularly in the distribution of corn:

and ye shall haste, and bring down my father hither;
for Joseph had an eager desire to see him, wherefore this is repeated.

11 I will provide for you there, so that you won't become poverty-stricken, you, your household and all that you have; because five years of famine are yet to come."'

12 Here! Your own eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Binyamin, that it is my own mouth speaking to you.

13 Tell my father how honored I am in Egypt and everything you have seen, and quickly bring my father down here!"

14 Then he embraced his brother Binyamin and wept, and Binyamin wept on his neck,

15 and he kissed all his brothers and wept on them. After that, his brothers talked with him.
