Genesis 45:21-27
New American Standard Bible 1995
21 Then the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them (A)wagons according to the [a]command of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey. 22 To [b]each of them he gave (B)changes of garments, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and (C)five changes of garments. 23 To his father he sent [c]as follows: ten donkeys loaded with the [d]best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and sustenance for his father [e]on the journey.
24 So he sent his brothers away, and [f]as they departed, he said to them, “Do not [g]quarrel on the journey.” 25 Then they went up from Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to their father Jacob. 26 They told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and indeed he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” But [h]he was stunned, for (D)he did not believe them. 27 When they told him all the words of Joseph that he had spoken to them, and when he saw the (E)wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.
