17 So the king said to Joseph:Tell your brothers to load their donkeys and return to Canaan.
18 They must bring their father and their families here. I will give them the best land in Egypt, and they can eat and enjoy everything that grows on it.
19 Also tell your brothers to take some wagons from Egypt for their wives and children to ride in. And they must be sure to bring their father.
