16 And the news of their meeting was reported in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brothers are come; and the news pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants. 17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to your brothers, Do this: load your beasts with wheat, and go, and carry it to the land of Canaan; 18 And take your father and your households, and come to me; and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat of the fat of the land. 19 Behold, you are the governor; say to your brothers, Do this: take wagons from the land of Egypt for your wives and for your little ones, and bring your father, and come. 20 And do not regard your stuff which you leave behind; for the choicest of all the land of Egypt is yours. 21 And the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the command of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey. 22 To all of them he gave each man two pairs of garments; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five pairs of garments. 23 And to his father he sent after this manner: ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses laden with wheat, wine, and provisions for his father's journey. 24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed; and he said to them, Quarrel not on the journey. 25 And they went up out of Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to their father Jacob. 26 And they told him, saying, Joseph is still alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. But Jacob disregarded their story, for he did not believe them. 27 And they told him all the words which Joseph had said to them; and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, their father Jacob was content. 28 And he said, This is great news for me, for my son Joseph is still alive; I will go and see him before I die.
