Genesis 45:16-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ In the house of Pharaoh they heard the report: “The brothers of Joseph have arrived.” This pleased Pharaoh and his ministers. ¹⁷ Pharaoh said to Joseph: “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: load up your animals, leave, and go to the land of Canaan. ¹⁸ Then bring your father and your families and come to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the finest products of the land.’

¹⁹ “As for you, give them this command: ‘Do this: take wagons with you from the land of Egypt for your children and your wives. Bring your father and come. ²⁰ Do not be concerned about your possessions, for the best of everything in the land of Egypt shall be yours.’ ”
