[The Pentateuch]

And Joseph said unto his brethren: come near to me / and they came near. And he ⟨image 77⟩said: I am Joseph your brother whom ye sold in to Egypt. And now be not grieved therewith / nether let it seem a cruel thing in your eyes / that ye sold me hither. For God did send me before you to save life. For this is the second year of dearth in the land / and five moo are behind in which there shall nether be earing nor harvest.

And Joseph sayde vnto his brethern: come nere to me / and they came nere. And he ⟨image 77⟩sayde: I am Joseph youre brother whom ye sold in to Egipte. And now be not greued therwith / nether let it seme a cruel thinge in youre eyes / that ye solde me hither. For God dyd send me before you to saue lyfe. For this is the seconde yere of derth in the lande / and fyue moo are behynde in which there shall nether be earynge nor hervest.

Wherefore God sent me before you to make provision / that ye might continue in the earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not ye that sent me hither / but God: and he hath made me father unto Pharaoh and lord over all his house / and dueller in all the land of Egypt. Hast you and goo to my father and tell him / this sayeth thy son Joseph: God hath made me lord over all Egypt. Come down unto me and tarry not / And thou shalt dwell in the land of Gosan & be by me: both thou and thy children / and thy children's children: and thy sheep / and beasts and all that thou hast. There will I make provision for thee: for there remain yet v years of dearth / lest thou and thy household and all that thou hast perish.

Wherfore God sent me before you to make prouision / that ye myghte continue in the erth and to save youre lyues by a greate delyuerance. So now it was not ye that sent me hither / but God: and he hath made me father vnto Pharao and lorde ouer all his house / and •ueler in all the land of Egipte. Hast you ād goo to my father and tell him / this sayeth thy sonne Joseph: God hath made me lorde ouer all Egipte. Come downe vnto me and tarye not / And thou shalt dwell in the londe of Gosan & be by me: both thou and thi childern / and thi childerns childern: and thy shepe / and beestes and all that thou hast. There will I make provision for the: for there remayne yet v yeres of derth / lest thou and thi houshold and all that thou hast perish.
