21 So the sons of Israel did that. And Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey. 22 He gave to all of them, to each one, a change of clothing. But to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothing. 23 To his father he sent the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and food and provision for his father on the journey. 24 So he sent his brothers off, and as they departed he said to them, |Do not be fearful on the journey.| 25 So they went up out of Egypt and came into the land of Canaan to their father Jacob. 26 And they told him, saying, |Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.| But he was unmoved, because he did not believe them. 27 But when they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to transport him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived. 28 Then Israel said, |I'm convinced. My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.| Genesis 45:21-28, New Heart English Bible. Public domain.
