Charles Spurgeon Commentary Genesis 45:9

"Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not;" — Genesis 45:9 (ASV)

Hurry, and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt: come down to me, do not delay.

See how love attracts; Joseph must have his brothers near him, now he wants to have his father also near. "Go up to my father, and say to him, 'Come down to me.'" See how great love turns pleader again; he who said to his brothers, "Come near to me," sends to his father the message, "Come down to me."

Haste you, and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, tarry not:

Joseph, having made himself known to his brothers, tells them to return to their father, and bring him down to Egypt to see his long-lost son.
