17. And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Tell your brothers this: Load your animals and return to the land of Canaan,
18. And get your father and your households and come to me. And I will give you the best in the land of Egypt and you will live on the fat of the land.
19. You therefore command them, saying, You do this: take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father and come.
20. Also do not look with regret or concern upon your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.
21. And the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them wagons, as the order of Pharaoh permitted, and gave them provisions for the journey.
22. To each of them he gave changes of raiment, but to Benjamin he gave 300 pieces of silver and five changes of raiment.
23. And to his father he sent as follows: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-donkeys laden with grain, bread, and nourishing food and provision for his father [to supply all who were with him] on the way.
24. So he sent his brothers away, and they departed, and he said to them, See that you do not disagree (get excited, quarrel) along the road.
25. So they went up out of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan to Jacob their father,
26. And they said to him, Joseph is still alive! And he is governor over all the land of Egypt! And Jacob's heart began to stop beating and [he almost] fainted, for he did not believe them.
27. But when they told him all the words of Joseph which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived [and warmth and life returned].
28. And Israel said, It is enough! Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.
