Finally Joseph can hold out no more and makes himself known to his brothers. Maybe some of the actions he had carried out before would help his brothers to realise that it was really him. For a long time had passed, and it would be difficult for them to believe.
Joseph also understands what God was doing over the last few years with the whole series of events. See how he treated his brothers. First he sent all the others away so that he could see them in private. Then he deals with them mercifully, not making them feel bad about the past.
Joseph tells his brothers to go and bring Jacob back. They were also to tell Jacob about all the honour that Joseph had received. Pharaoh too commanded them to take riches with them.
Not surprisingly Jacob was delighted to receive the news.
