Genesis 45:17-28 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

17. and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `Say unto thy brethren, This do ye: lade your beasts, and go, enter ye the land of Canaan,

18. and take your father, and your households, and come unto me, and I give to you the good of the land of Egypt, and eat ye the fat of the land.

19. `Yea, thou--thou hast been commanded: this do ye, take for yourselves out of the land of Egypt, waggons for your infants, and for your wives, and ye have brought your father, and come;

20. and your eye hath no pity on your vessels, for the good of all the land of Egypt [is] yours.'

21. And the sons of Israel do so, and Joseph giveth waggons to them by the command of Pharaoh, and he giveth to them provision for the way;

22. to all of them hath he given--to each changes of garments, and to Benjamin he hath given three hundred silverlings, and five changes of garments;

23. and to his father he hath sent thus: ten asses bearing of the good things of Egypt, and ten she-asses bearing corn and bread, even food for his father for the way.

24. And he sendeth his brethren away, and they go; and he saith unto them, `Be not angry in the way.'

25. And they go up out of Egypt, and come in to the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their father,

26. and they declare to him, saying, `Joseph [is] yet alive,' and that he [is] ruler over all the land of Egypt; and his heart ceaseth, for he hath not given credence to them.

27. And they speak unto him all the words of Joseph, which he hath spoken unto them, and he seeth the waggons which Joseph hath sent to bear him away, and live doth the spirit of Jacob their father;

28. and Israel saith, `Enough! Joseph my son [is] yet alive; I go and see him before I die.'
