Bereshit 45
וְעַתָּה לֹֽא־אַתֶּם שְׁלַחְתֶּם אֹתִי הֵנָּה כִּי הָאֱלֹהִים וַיְשִׂימֵנִֽי לְאָב לְפַרְעֹה וּלְאָדוֹן לְכׇל־בֵּיתוֹ וּמֹשֵׁל בְּכׇל־אֶרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃
Now [then] it was not you that sent me here, but Elohim; and He has made me as a father to Pharaoh, and master of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

ועלו אל אבי. אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל גְּבוֹהָה מִכָּל הָאֲרָצוֹת:
וְיָשַׁבְתָּ בְאֶֽרֶץ־גֹּשֶׁן וְהָיִיתָ קָרוֹב אֵלַי אַתָּה וּבָנֶיךָ וּבְנֵי בָנֶיךָ וְצֹאנְךָ וּבְקָרְךָ וְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר־לָֽךְ׃
You will dwell in the land of Goshen, and you will be close to me—you, your children, your grandchildren, your sheep, your cattle and all that you own.

וְכִלְכַּלְתִּי אֹֽתְךָ שָׁם כִּי־עוֹד חָמֵשׁ שָׁנִים רָעָב פֶּן־תִּוָּרֵשׁ אַתָּה וּבֵֽיתְךָ וְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר־לָֽךְ׃
I will provide for you there, since there will be another five years of famine; lest you become impoverished together with your household and all that is yours.

פן תורש. דִּלְמָא תִּתְמַסְכַּן, לְשׁוֹן מוֹרִישׁ וּמַעֲשִׁיר:
וְהִנֵּה עֵֽינֵיכֶם רֹאוֹת וְעֵינֵי אָחִי בִנְיָמִין כִּי־פִי הַֽמְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃

והנה עיניכם ראות. בִּכְבוֹדִי, וְשֶׁאֲנִי אֲחִיכֶם שֶׁאֲנִי מָהוּל כָּכֶם, וְעוֹד, כי פי המדבר אליכם בִּלְשׁוֹן הַקֹּדֶשׁ (בראשית רבה):
ועיני אחי בנימין. הִשְׁוָה אֶת כֻּלָּם יַחַד לוֹמַר, שֶׁכְּשֵׁם שֶׁאֵין לִי שִׂנְאָה עַל בִּנְיָמִין אָחִי, שֶׁהֲרֵי לֹא הָיָה בִמְכִירָתִי, כָּךְ אֵין בְּלִבִּי שִׂנְאָה עֲלֵיכֶם:
וְהִגַּדְתֶּם לְאָבִי אֶת־כׇּל־כְּבוֹדִי בְּמִצְרַיִם וְאֵת כׇּל־אֲשֶׁר רְאִיתֶם וּמִֽהַרְתֶּם וְהוֹרַדְתֶּם אֶת־אָבִי הֵֽנָּה׃
