Genesis 45:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 45:18

16 Now the report of it was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, “Joseph’s brothers have come.” So it pleased Pharaoh and his servants well.

17 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals and depart; go to the land of Canaan.

18 Bring your father and your households and come to me; I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat ^athe fat of the land.

19 Now you are commanded—do this: Take carts out of the land of Egypt for your little ones and your wives; bring your father and come.

20 Also do not be concerned about your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’ ”

21 Then the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them ^acarts, according to the command of Pharaoh, and he gave them provisions for the journey.

22 He gave to all of them, to each man, ^achanges of garments; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and ^bfive changes of garments.
