45:16-20
Pharaoh heard about what had happened and was glad about it. He blessed them and urged Joseph’s family to come and live in Egypt. Later on when a new Pharaoh was in power the attitude changed for the worse, but for now Israel had favour with Egypt. This Pharaoh had a very generous attitude towards Joseph and his family.
45:21-28
So the brothers were given waggons and loaded up with goods, with Benjamin getting more than the others. Joseph sent them on their way, and he also warned them not to quarrel. Joseph had not forgotten what they were like! When they arrived back in Canaan at first Jacob did not believe them. But after seeing the waggons and hearing all they had to say he started to believe, and agreed to go to Egypt to see his son Joseph.
