15. Joseph then kissed all his brothers and wept over them; and only then were his brothers able to talk with him.
16. The news reached Pharaoh’s house: “Joseph’s brothers have come.” Pharaoh and his officials were pleased.
17. So Pharaoh told Joseph: “Say to your brothers: ‘This is what you shall do: Load up your animals and go without delay to the land of Canaan.
18. There get your father and your households, and then come to me; I will assign you the best land in Egypt, where you will live off the fat of the land.’
19. Instruct them further: ‘Do this. Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your children and your wives and bring your father back here.
20. Do not be concerned about your belongings, for the best in the whole land of Egypt shall be yours.’”
21. The sons of Israel acted accordingly. Joseph gave them the wagons, as Pharaoh had ordered, and he supplied them with provisions for the journey.
