Genesis 45:25

And they went up out of Egypt
That lying lower than the land of Canaan: and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father;
they found him alive and well.

Genesis 45:25 In-Context

23 He sent his father these gifts: ten donkeys loaded with Egypt's best products and another ten donkeys loaded with grain and bread, provisions for his father's journey back.
24 Then he sent his brothers off. As they left he told them, "Take it easy on the journey; try to get along with each other."
25 They left Egypt and went back to their father Jacob in Canaan.
26 When they told him, "Joseph is still alive - and he's the ruler over the whole land of Egypt!" he went numb; he couldn't believe his ears.
27 But the more they talked, telling him everything that Joseph had told them and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him back, the blood started to flow again - their father Jacob's spirit revived.
