“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:”
Now hurry back to my father and say to him: this is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; don't delay. The urgency — hurry, don't delay — is the urgency of five years of famine ahead and a father who needs to know his son is alive. The application: the covenant person who has been revealed cannot send back comfort slowly. Joseph sends them quickly: go tell my father.
