Joseph's brothers returned to Egypt with Joseph's cup and Judah
asked that Benjamin be allowed to return to Canaan. Then Joseph
told his brothers that he was their brother Joseph.
Joseph asked them to come near to him. He explained that God had
made him governor over Egypt to save their lives. Then Joseph commanded
them to bring his father to Goshen so that he could provide for
them.
Joseph wept on Benjamin's neck. Then he wept on all his brothers'
necks and kissed them.
Pharaoh and his servants heard that Joseph's brothers had come
from Canaan and they were very happy for Joseph. Pharaoh commanded
them to bring Joseph's father to Egypt. Pharaoh sent donkeys, mules,
and carts with them to bring their families back to Egypt. Pharaoh
told them not to worry about bring all of their possessions to Egypt
since they would be given the best of the land.
Joseph's brothers return to their father in Canaan. They told Jacob
