Genesis 45:11-13
New English Translation

11 I will provide you with food[a] there because there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise you would become poor—you, your household, and everyone who belongs to you.”’ 12 You and my brother Benjamin can certainly see with your own eyes that I really am the one who speaks to you.[b] 13 So tell[c] my father about all my honor in Egypt and about everything you have seen. But bring my father down here quickly!”[d]
