Genesis 45:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ They told him, “Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is ruler of the whole land of Egypt.” Jacob was shocked. He didn’t believe them. ²⁷ So they told him everything Joseph had said to them. Jacob saw the carts Joseph had sent to carry him back. That gave new life to their father Jacob. ²⁸ Israel said, “I believe it now! My son Joseph is still alive. I’ll go and see him before I die.”
