Genesis 45:22-28 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

22. Likewise, he ordered two robes for each of them to be brought. Yet truly, to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver along with five of the best robes.

23. And he sent just as much money and clothing to his father, adding also ten male donkeys, with which to transport all the riches of Egypt, and as many female donkeys, carrying wheat and bread for the journey.

24. Thus he sent away his brothers, and as they set out he said, "Do not become angry on the way."

25. And they ascended out of Egypt, and they arrived in the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.

26. And they reported to him, saying: "Your son Joseph is alive, and he is ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. When Jacob heard this, he was stirred up, as if from a deep sleep, yet he did not believe them.

27. To the contrary, they explained the entire matter in order. And when he had seen the wagons, and all that he had sent, his spirit revived,

28. and he said: "It is enough for me, if my son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die."
