The news soon reached Pharaoh’s palace: “Joseph’s brothers have arrived!” Pharaoh and his officials were delighted to hear this.
Pharaoh said to Joseph, ” Tell your brothers, ‘This is what you must do: Load your pack animals , and hurry back to the land of Canaan. Then get your father and all of your families, and return here to me. I will give you the very best land in Egypt, and you will eat from the best that the land produces.”
So the sons of Jacob did as they were told. Joseph provided them with wagons, as Pharaoh had commanded, and he gave them supplies for their journey. And he gave each of them new clothes-but to Benjamin he gave five changes of clothes and 300 pieces of silver. He also sent his father ten male donkeys, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other supplies he would need on his journey. (vv. 16-23, NLT)
