Genesis 45:21-28 ▼

21 Then the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them wagons according to the command of Pharaoh, and he gave them provisions for the journey.

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

23 Now to 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.

24 So he sent his brothers away, and they departed. And he said to them, “Do not be stirred up on the journey.”

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

26 And they told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and indeed he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” But his heart was stunned, for he did not believe them.

27 Yet they told him all the words of Joseph that he had spoken to them, and he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him. Then the spirit of their father Jacob revived.

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