Genesis 45:23-28

New Century Version NCV

23 Joseph also sent his father ten donkeys loaded with the best things from Egypt and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and other food for his father on his trip back.

24 Then Joseph told his brothers to go. As they were leaving, he said to them, "Don't quarrel on the way home."

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

26 They told him, "Joseph is still alive and is the ruler over all the land of Egypt." Their father was shocked and did not believe them.

27 But when the brothers told him everything Joseph had said, and when Jacob saw the wagons Joseph had sent to carry him back to Egypt, he felt better.

28 Israeln said, "Now I believe you. My son Joseph is still alive, and I will go and see him before I die."

New International Version NIV

23 And this is what he sent to his father: ten donkeys loaded with the best things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other provisions for his journey.

24 Then he sent his brothers away, and as they were leaving he said to them, “Don’t quarrel on the way!”

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

26 They told him, “Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is ruler of all Egypt.” Jacob was stunned; he did not believe them.

27 But when they told him everything Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.

28 And Israel said, “I’m convinced! My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
