Context of Genesis 45:25
23And to his father he sent after this manner ; ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and food for his father by the way. 24So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said to them, See that ye contend not by the way.
