¹⁶ Now when ^(A)the ^[a]news was heard in Pharaoh’s house ^[b]that Joseph’s brothers had come, it ^[c]pleased Pharaoh and his servants. ¹⁷ Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: load your livestock and ^[d]go to the land of Canaan, ¹⁸ and take your father and your households and come to me; and ^(B)I will give you the ^[e]best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.’ ¹⁹ Now you are ordered, ‘Do this: ^[f]take ^(C)wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father and come. ²⁰ And do not ^[g]concern yourselves with your property, for the ^[h]best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”

²¹ Then the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them ^(D)wagons according to the ^[i]command of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey. ²² To ^[j]each of them he gave ^(E)changes of garments, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and ^(F)five changes of garments. ²³ And to his father he sent ^[k]the following: ten male donkeys loaded with the ^[l]best things of Egypt, ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and sustenance for his father ^[m]on the journey.

²⁴ So he sent his brothers away, and ^[n]as they departed, he said to them, “Do not ^[o]quarrel on the journey.” ²⁵ Then they went up from Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob. ²⁶ And they told him, saying, “Joseph is still alive, and indeed he is ruler over all the land of Egypt.” But ^[p]he was stunned, for ^(G)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 ^(H)wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, then the spirit of their father Jacob revived. ²⁸ Then Israel said, “It is enough; my son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
