18 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 ye shall eat the heart of the land.

19 And thou being commanded, this do ye; take to you from the land of Egypt, wagons for your little ones, and for your wives, and take your father and come.

20 And your eye shall not spare upon your vessels: for the good of all the land of Egypt is to you.

21 And the sons of Israel will do so: and Joseph will give to them wagons, by the mouth of Pharaoh, and he will give to them provision for the way.

22 To all of them he gave, to each, changes of garments: and to Benjamin he gave three hundred of silver and five changes of garments.

23 And to his father he sent according to this: ten asses lifting up from the good of Egypt, and ten she-asses lifting up grain and bread: and food for his father for the way.

24 And he will send his brethren away, and they will go; and he will say to them, Ye shall not be angry in the way.

25 And they will go up from Egypt, and will come to the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.

26 And they will announce to him, saying, Joseph is yet living, and that he the ruler over all the land of Egypt. And his heart will be cold for he believed them not.

27 And they will say to him all the words of Joseph which he spake to them: and he will see the wagons which Joseph sent to take him, and the spirit of Jacob their father will live.

28 And Israel will say, It is much: Joseph my son is yet living: I will go and see him before I shall die.
