17. So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Load up your animals, and go back to Canaan.

18. Take your father and your families, and come to me. I will give you the best land in Egypt. Then you can enjoy the best food in the land.’

19. “Give them this order: ‘Take wagons with you from Egypt for your children and your wives. Bring your father, and come back.

20. Don’t worry about your belongings because the best of everything in Egypt is yours.’ ”

21. Israel’s sons did as they were told. Joseph gave them wagons and supplies for their trip as Pharaoh had ordered.

22. He gave each of them a change of clothes, but he gave Benjamin three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothes.
