And the report was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, The brothers of Joseph have come. And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants.

Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to your brothers, Do this; load your animals and depart; go to the land of Canaan.

And take your father, and your houses, and come to me. And I will give to you the good of the land of Egypt; and you shall eat the fat of the land.

And you are commanded; you do this: Take for yourselves wagons from the land of Egypt, for your little ones, and for your wives. And take your father and come.

And your eye, let it have no regard for your vessels, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.

And the sons of Israel did so. And Joseph gave wagons to them according to the mouth of Pharaoh, and he gave provision to them for the way.

He gave to all of them, to each one, changes of clothing. And he gave to Benjamin three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of clothing.

And to his father he sent this: ten asses bearing the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses bearing grain, and bread, and food for his father for the way.

And he sent his brothers away; and they went. And he said to them, Do not quarrel along the way.

And they went up from Egypt and came into the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.

And they told him, saying, Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler in all the land of Egypt. And his heart froze up, for he did not believe them.

And they spoke to him all Joseph's words which he had spoken to them. And he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him; and the spirit of their father Jacob revived.

And Israel said, It is enough! My son Joseph is alive; I will go and see him before I die.
