Genesis 45 - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

1 also, ‘Do this: take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.

20Give no thought to your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’ ”

21The 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 and all of them he gave festal garments; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five festal garments.

23To his father he sent as follows: ten asses loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses loaded with grain, bread, and provision for his father on the journey.

24Then he sent his brothers away, and as they departed, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way.”

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

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

27But 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 carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived;

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