23 Also to his father he sent the following: ten donkeys carrying from the best of Egypt, and ten female donkeys carrying grain and food and provisions for his father’s journey.
24 Then he sent his brothers off, and as they departed, he said to them, “Don’t be anxious on the way.”
25 Then they went up from Egypt and came to the land of Canaan, to Jacob their father.
26 They told him saying, “Joseph is still alive and he is ruler of the whole land of Egypt!” His heart went numb, for he did not believe them.
27 But they told him all of Joseph’s words that he had told them. When he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to pick him up, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.
28 Then Israel said, “Enough! My son Joseph is still alive. I must go and see him, before I die.”
