Genesis 45:16-24
16 Now athe news was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” And it was good in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants. 17 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: load your beasts and go to the land of Canaan, 18 and take your father and your households and come to me, and aI will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.’ 19 Now you are commanded, ‘Do this: take awagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father and come. 20 Now do not concern yourselves with your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”
21 Then the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them awagons according to the command of Pharaoh, and he gave them provisions for the journey. 22 To each of them he gave achanges of garments, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and bfive 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.”
