19“Now you are commanded, ‘Do this: 1take awagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father and come.

20‘Now do not 1concern yourselves with your goods, for the 2best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”

21Then the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them awagons according to the 1command of Pharaoh, and he gave them provisions for the journey.

22To 1each of them he gave achanges of garments, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and bfive changes of garments.

23Now to his father he sent 1as follows: ten donkeys loaded with the 2best things of Egypt and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and sustenance for his father 3on the journey.

24So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. And he said to them, “Do not be stirred up on the journey.”

25Then they went up from Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to their father Jacob.

26And they told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and indeed he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” But 1his heart was stunned, for ahe did not believe them.

27Yet they told him all the words of Joseph that he had spoken to them, and he saw the awagons that Joseph had sent to carry him. Then the spirit of their father Jacob revived.
