ook little Benjamin in his arms and wept over him, and
kissed him, and kissed all his brothers, and after that his brothers
talked with him. The king heard the story of Joseph's brothers and was
pleased. He told Joseph to send wagons for the wives and little ones
of his brothers, and to tell them to bring their father, and all their
cattle and sheep, and come to live in Goshen where they should have the
best of the land for their flocks and herds.

Joseph did as the king commanded, and also gave them food for the
journey, and a suit of clothing to each brother, but to little Benjamin
he gave five suits, and three hundred pieces of silver. He also loaded
twenty asses with the good things of Egypt as presents to his father,
so he sent them all on their journey saying:

"See that ye fall not out by the way."

When they came to Jacob in Hebron, they told him the wonderful story of
the finding of Joseph, and his heart was faint, for he did not believe
them; but when he had heard all Joseph's messages, and had seen the
gifts, and the wagons, he said:

"It is enough: Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before
I die."

So they began the long journey to Egypt, for it took a long time to
travel with a great family, and with thousands of cattle and sheep. At
Beersheba Jacob stopped and worshiped God, where his father had built
an altar years before; and God told him in the night that he need not
fear to go down into Egypt, for He would there make him a great nation,
and that He would bring him back again to his own land.

So Jacob with all his children and their little ones, and all his
flocks and herds came into Egypt. There were sixty-seven souls, and
when they had counted Joseph and his two sons, there were seventy.

Jacob sent Judah on before to see Joseph and ask the way to Goshen, so
that they might go directly there with the cattle and sheep. And when
Joseph knew that his father was coming, he went to meet him in Goshen,
and there he wept on his father's neck a long time, and Jacob said:

"Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet
alive."

After this Joseph presented five of his brothers to Pharaoh, and the
king spoke very kindly to them, and gave them the best of the land for
their flocks, and hired some of them to oversee his own shepherds.

Joseph brought his father in also and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

So the family of Jacob lived in peace, and were cared for by Josep
