Genesis 45:24

Conflict and reconciliationPeace

22 He gave new garments to each of them, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes.

23 And he sent to his father the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and provisions for his father’s journey.

Then Joseph sent his brothers on their way, and as they were leaving, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way!”

25 So the brothers went up out of Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.

26 “Joseph is still alive,” they said, “and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt!” But Jacob was stunned, for he did not believe them.
