Genesis 45:22-27 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

22. He gave each brother a change of clothes. But he gave Benjamin five changes of clothes. And Joseph gave him about seven and one-half pounds of silver.

23. Joseph also sent his father ten donkeys loaded with the best things from Egypt. And he sent ten female donkeys. They were loaded with grain, bread and other food for his father on his trip back.

24. Then Joseph told his brothers to go. As they were leaving, he said to them, “Don’t quarrel on the way home.”

25. So the brothers left Egypt and went to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.

26. They told him, “Joseph is still alive. He is the ruler over all the land of Egypt.” Their father was shocked and did not believe them.

27. But the brothers told him everything Joseph had said. Then Jacob saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him back to Egypt. Now Jacob felt better.
