Context 16Now when the news was heard in Pharaohs house that Josephs brothers had come, it pleased Pharaoh and his servants. 17Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to your brothers, Do this: load your beasts and go to the land of Canaan, 18and take your father and your households and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt and you will eat the fat of the land. 19Now you are ordered, Do this: take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father and come. 20Do not concern yourselves with your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours. 21Then the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them wagons according to the command of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey. 22To each of them he gave changes of garments, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of garments. 23To his father he sent as follows: ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and sustenance for his father on the journey. 24So he sent his brothers away, and as they departed, he said to them, Do not quarrel on the journey. 25Then they went up from Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to their father Jacob. 26They told him, saying, Joseph is still alive, and indeed he is ruler over all the land of Egypt. But he was stunned, for he did not believe them. 27When they told him all the words of Joseph that he had spoken to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived. 28Then Israel said, It is enough; my son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.
