Genesis 45:19–27

¹⁹You are also commanded, ‘Do this: Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your young children and your wives and bring your father here. ^d20Do not be concerned about your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’ ” ^e

²¹The sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had commanded, and he gave them provisions for the journey. ²²He gave each of the brothers changes of clothes, ^fbut he gave Benjamin 300 pieces of silver and five changes of clothes. ^g23He sent his father the following: 10 donkeys carrying the best products of Egypt and 10 female donkeys carrying grain, food, and provisions for his father on the journey. ²⁴So Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Don’t argue on the way.”

²⁵So they went up from Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan. ²⁶They said, “Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt!” Jacob was stunned, ^hfor he did not believe them. ²⁷But when they told Jacob all that Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to transport him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.
