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.

Genesis 45:13 In-Context

11 I will care for you during the next five years of hunger so that you and your family and all that you have will not starve.'

12 "Now you can see for yourselves, and so can my brother Benjamin, that the one speaking to you is really Joseph.

13 So tell my father about how powerful I have become in Egypt. Tell him about everything you have seen. Now hurry and bring him back to me."

14 Then Joseph hugged his brother Benjamin and cried, and Benjamin cried also.

15 And Joseph kissed all his brothers and cried as he hugged them. After this, his brothers talked with him.
