Kejadian 45:17-21

45:17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals and go ¹  to the land of Canaan! 45:18 Get your father and your households and come to me! Then I will give you ²  the best land in Egypt and you will eat ³  the best ⁴  of the land.’ 45:19 You are also commanded to say, ⁵  ‘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 ⁶  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. ⁷  Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had instructed, ⁸  and he gave them provisions for the journey.
