And Pharao spake vnto Ioseph: saye vnto thy brethern/ this do ye: lade
youre beestes ãd get you hence/ And when ye be come vnto the londe of
Canaan/ take youre father and youre housholdes and come vnto me/ and I
will geue you the beste of the lande of Egipte/ and ye shall eate the
fatt of the londe. And commaunded also. This do ye: take charettes
with you out of the lande of Egipte/ for youre childern and for youre
wyues: and brynge youre father and come. Also/ regarde not your stuff/
for the goodes of all the londe of Egipte shalbe youres.
And the childern of Israell dyd euen so/ and Ioseph gaue them
charettes at the commaundment of Pharao/ and gaue them vitayle also to
spende by the waye. And he gaue vnto eche of them chaunge of rayment:
but vnto Ben Iamin he gaue iij. hundred peces of syluer and .v.
chaunge of rayment. And vnto his father he sent after the same maner:
x. he asses laden with good out of Egipte/ and .x. she asses laden
with corne/ bred and meate: to serue his father by the waye. So sent
he his brethern awaye/ and they departed. And he sayde vnto them: se
that ye fall not out by the waye.
And they departed from Egipte and came in to the land of Canaan vnto
Iacob their father/ and told him saynge. Ioseph is yet a lyue and is
gouerner ouer all the land of Egipte. And Iacobs hert wauered/ for he
beleued thẽ not. And they tolde him all the wordes of Ioseph which
he had sayde vnto them. But when he sawe the charettes which Ioseph
had sent to carie him/ then his sprites reviued. And Israel sayde. I
haue ynough/ yf Ioseph my sonne be yet alyue: I will goo and se him/
yer that I dye.

and offred offrynges vnto the God of his father Isaac. And God sayde

And he answered: here am I. And he sayde: I am that mightie God of thy
father/ feare not to goo downe in to Egipte. For I will make of the
there a great people. I will go downe with y^e in to Egipte/ & I will
also bringe the vp agayne/ & Ioseph shall put his hand apon thine
eyes.
And Iacob rose vp from Berseba. And y^e sonnes of Israel caried Iacob
their father/ ãd their childern and their wyues in the charettes
which Pharao had sent to carie him. And they toke their catell ãd the
goodes which they had gotten in the land of Canaan/ and came in to
Egipte: both Iacob and all his seed with him/ his sonnes and his
sonnes sonnes with him: his doughters and his sonnes doughters and all
his seed brought he with him in to Egipte.
