45:16 Now it was reported 1 in the household of Pharaoh, “Joseph’s brothers have arrived.” It pleased 2 Pharaoh and his servants. 45:17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals and go 3 to the land of Canaan! 45:18 Get your father and your households and come to me! Then I will give you 4 the best land in Egypt and you will eat 5 the best 6 of the land.’ 45:19 You are also commanded to say, 7 ‘Do this: Take for yourselves wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives. Bring your father and come. 45:20 Don’t worry 8 about your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt will be yours.’”
45:21 So the sons of Israel did as he said. 9 Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had instructed, 10 and he gave them provisions for the journey. 45:22 He gave sets of clothes to each one of them, 11 but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five sets of clothes. 12 45:23 To his father he sent the following: 13 ten donkeys loaded with the best products of Egypt and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, food, and provisions for his father’s journey. 45:24 Then he sent his brothers on their way and they left. He said to them, “As you travel don’t be overcome with fear.” 14
