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.
