Genesis 45:17-25

17Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: load your beasts and 1go to the land of Canaan, 18and take your father and your households and come to me, and 2I will give you the 3best of the land of Egypt and you will eat the fat of the land.’ 19Now you are ordered, ‘Do this: 4take 5wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father and come. 20Do not 6concern yourselves with your goods, for the 7best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’”

21Then the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them 8wagons according to the 9command of Pharaoh, and gave them provisions for the journey. 22To 10each of them he gave 11changes of garments, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and 12five changes of garments. 23To his father he sent 13as follows: ten donkeys loaded with the 14best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and sustenance for his father 15on the journey.

24So he sent his brothers away, and 16as they departed, he said to them, “Do not 17quarrel on the journey.” 25Then they went up from Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to their father Jacob.
