Genesis 45:17-25

17Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals and go on back to the land of Canaan.

18Get your father and your families, and come back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you can eat from the richness of the land.’

19You are also commanded to tell them, ‘Do this: Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your dependents and your wives and bring your father here.

20Do not be concerned about your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”

21The sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had commanded, and he gave them provisions for the journey.

22He gave each of the brothers changes of clothes, but he gave Benjamin three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of clothes.

23He sent his father the following: ten donkeys carrying the best products of Egypt and ten female donkeys carrying grain, food, and provisions for his father on the journey.

24So Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Don’t argue on the way.”

25So they went up from Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.
