Genesis 45:15-25 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

15. Joseph kissed each of his brothers as he wept, and afterward his brothers talked with him.

16. When the news reached Pharaoh’s palace, “Joseph’s brothers have come,” Pharaoh and his servants were pleased.

17. Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals and go on back to the land of Canaan.

18. Get your father and your families, and come back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you can eat from the richness of the land.’

19. You are also commanded, ‘Do this: Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your young children and your wives and bring your father here.

20. Do not be concerned about your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’ ”

21. The sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had commanded, and he gave them provisions for the journey.

22. He gave each of the brothers changes of clothes, but he gave Benjamin 300 pieces of silver and five changes of clothes.

23. He sent his father the following: 10 donkeys carrying the best products of Egypt and 10 female donkeys carrying grain, food, and provisions for his father on the journey.

24. So Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Don’t argue on the way.”

25. So they went up from Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.
