Genesis 45:17-21 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

17. So the king said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers to load their animals and go back to the land of Canaan.

18. Tell them to bring their father and their families back here to me. I will give them the best land in Egypt. And they will eat the best food we have here.

19. Tell them to take some wagons from Egypt for their children and their wives. And tell them to bring their father back also.

20. Tell them not to worry about bringing any of their things with them. We will give them the best of what we have in Egypt.”

21. So the sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them wagons as the king had ordered. And he gave them food for their trip.
