Egypt and of all that ye have seen, and make haste and bring in father
hither. And he fell on his brother Ben Iamin's neck and wept, and Ben
Iamin wept on his neck. Moreover he kissed all his brethren and wept
upon them. And after that, his brethren talked with him. And when the
tidings was come unto Pharao's house that Ioseph's brethren were come,
it pleased Pharao well and all his servants. And Pharao spake unto
Ioseph: say unto thy brethren, this do ye: lade your beasts and get you
hence. And when ye be come unto the land of Canaan, take your father
and your households and come unto me, and I will give you the best of
the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land. And commanded
also. This do ye: take chariots with you out of the land of Egypt, for
your children and for your wives: and bring your father and come. Also,
regard not your stuff, for the goods of all the land of Egypt shall be
yours. And the children of Israel did even so. And Ioseph gave them
chariots at the commandment of Pharao, and gave them vitaille also to
spend by the way. And he gave unto each of them change of raiment: but
unto Ben Iamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes
of raiment. And unto his father he sent after the same manner: ten he
asses laden with goods out of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn,
bread and meat: to serve his father by the way. So sent he his brethren
away, and they departed. And he said unto them: see that ye fall not
out by the way. And they departed from Egypt and came into the land of
Canaan unto Iacob their father, and told him saying. Ioseph is yet
alive and is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Iacob's heart
wavered, for he believed them not. And they told him all the words of
Ioseph which he had said unto them. But when he saw the chariots which
Ioseph had sent to carry him, then his spirits revived. And Israel
said: I have enough, if Ioseph my son be yet alive: I will go and see
him, yer that I die.
