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.
22. He also gave to each of them a set of clothes, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes.
23. Moreover, what he sent to his father was ten donkeys loaded with the finest products of Egypt and another ten loaded with grain and bread and provisions for his father’s journey.
24. As he sent his brothers on their way, he told them, “Do not quarrel on the way.”
25. So they went up from Egypt and came to the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.
26. When they told him, “Joseph is still alive—in fact, it is he who is governing all the land of Egypt,” he was unmoved, for he did not believe them.
27. But when they recounted to him all that Joseph had told them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to transport him, the spirit of their father Jacob came to life.
28. “Enough,” said Israel. “My son Joseph is still alive! I must go and see him before I die.”
