12. Behold, your eyes, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that speaketh to you.

13. You shall tell my father of all my glory, and all things that you have seen in Egypt: make haste and bring him to me.

14. And falling upon the neck of his brother Benjamin, he embraced him and wept: and Benjamin in like manner wept also on his neck.

15. And Joseph kissed all his brethren, and wept upon every one of them: after which they were emboldened to speak to him.

16. And it was heard, and the fame was abroad in the king's court: The brethren of Joseph are come: and Pharao with all his family was glad.

17. And he spoke to Joseph that he should give orders to his brethren, saying: Load your beasts, and go into the land of Chanaan.

18. And bring away from thence your father and kindred, and come to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, that you may eat the marrow of the land.

19. Give orders also that they take wagons out of the land of Egypt, for the carriage of their children and their wives: and say: Take up your father, and make haste to come with all speed:

20. And leave nothing of your household stuff: for all the riches of Egypt shall be yours.

21. And the sons of Israel did as they were bid. And Joseph gave them wagons according to Pharao's commandment: and provisions for the way.

22. He ordered also to be brought out for every one of them two robes: but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver with Ave robes of the best:

23. Sending to his father as much money and raiment, adding besides ten he asses to carry off all the riches of Egypt, and as many she asses, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.

24. So he sent away his brethren, and at their departing said to them: Be not angry in the way.
