Genesis 45:16-24
16Now when 1the 2news was heard in Pharaoh’s house 3that Joseph’s brothers had come, it 4pleased Pharaoh and his servants. 17Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: load your beasts and 5go to the land of Canaan, 18and take your father and your households and come to me, and 6I will give you the 7best of the land of Egypt and you will eat the fat of the land.’ 19Now you are ordered, ‘Do this: 8take 9wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father and come. 20Do not 10concern yourselves with your goods, for the 11best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”
21Then the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them 12wagons according to the 13command of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey. 22To 14each of them he gave 15changes of garments, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and 16five changes of garments. 23To his father he sent 17as follows: ten donkeys loaded with the 18best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and sustenance for his father 19on the journey.
24So he sent his brothers away, and 20as they departed, he said to them, “Do not 21quarrel on the journey.”
