This Parsha opens up with Judah approaching him, Joseph which is the ruler over all the land of Egypt. Vayigash means "he approached him." Genesis 44:18. From this point on Judah goes over the conversation that he had with Joseph about their younger brother, Benjamin for the recompense of the silver cup and that his Father would be appalled if he did not return home. Genesis 44:19-23. Joseph had been told that the baby should stay near the father, Jacob, and it came to pass that their father was given the words of Joseph who had been missing, because he thought Joseph had been succumbed to mischief or foul play, the his father Israel will be sorrowful again if anything should happen to Benjamin, he would worry with grey hairs and die a day early.
EGenesis 45:8-15
Joseph tells them, it is not you that sent me here, but God that has sent me here, made me a fatherly figure to Pharaoh, and lord over all his house, and ruler throughout the land of Egypt.
The he ordered them to get his father, tell him that your son Joseph is "alive," and that God has made him lord over all over all of Egypt and that he shall dwell in the land of Goshen.

He was sending for his father and gave them plenty of supplies, for the trip too, and told the brothers to get along with each other.
Genesis 45:25-28
So the brothers safely made it back to the land of Canaan to get their father Jacob. The brothers told their father, Jacob everything that Joseph had said because is still alive, and he is the governor over all the land of Egypt. After hearing this great report that his favorite son was still alive, Israel was so happy that his son had sent for him. Israel said, I want to see my son while I am still alive, this is what he wants and that is to see you his father Israel. Likewise the father said that he needed to see Joseph before he died, and then he knew that he would die only once.
