1. Mosebok 45,26

IsraelJosephEgypt
Doubt

24 Han sendte brødrene sine av sted, og da de dro, sa han til dem: «Ikke krangle på veien!»

25 De dro opp fra Egypt og kom til sin far Jakob i Kanaans land.

De fortalte ham: «Josef lever ennå, og han er hersker over hele Egypt.» Jakob ble lamslått, for han trodde dem ikke.

27 Men da de fortalte ham alle de ordene Josef hadde talt til dem, og da han så vognene Josef hadde sendt for å bære ham, ble deres far Jakobs ånd gjenopplivet.

28 Da erklærte Israel: «Dette er nok; min sønn Josef lever ennå. Jeg vil dra og se ham før jeg dør.»
