Now, the report, was heard by the house of Pharaoh, saying, The brethren of Joseph have come in, And it was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

So then Pharaoh said unto Joseph - Say unto thy brethren This, do, - lade your asses, and go enter into the land of Canaan;

and fetch your father and your households and come in unto me, - that I may give you the best of the land of Egypt, and eat ye the fat of the land.

Thou, therefore command them, This, do ye, - Take you out of the land of Egypt, waggons for your little ones and for your wives, so shall ye bring your father and come in.

Your eye, moreover, let it not look with pity upon your goods, - for, the best of all the land of Egypt, is, yours.

And the sons of Israel did so, and Joseph gave them waggons, at the bidding of Pharaoh, - and gave them provisions for the way:

to all of them, gave he to each man changes of raiment, - but, to Benjamin, he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.

Moreover, to his father, sent he as followeth - ten he-asses, laden from the best of Egypt, - and ten she-asses laden with corn and bread and nourishing food for his father for the way.

Thus sent he forth his brethren and they departed, - and he said unto them, Do not fall out by the way.

And they went up out of Egypt, - and came into the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their father.

And they told him saying - Joseph: is, yet alive, yea, indeed, he, is ruler in all the land of Egypt. And his heart became faint, for he believed them not.

So they spake unto him all the words of Joseph which he had spoken unto them h then saw he the waggons, which Joseph had sent to carry him, - and the spirit of Jacob their father revived.

And Israel said, Enough! Joseph my son is, yet alive, I must go and see him before I die!
