21 Les fils d’Israël firent ainsi. Joseph leur donna des chars, selon l’ordre de Pharaon; il leur donna aussi des provisions pour la route.

22 Il leur donna à tous des vêtements de rechange, et il donna à Benjamin trois cents sicles d’argent et cinq vêtements de rechange.

23 Il envoya à son père dix ânes chargés de ce qu’il y avait de meilleur en Égypte, et dix ânesses chargées de blé, de pain et de vivres, pour son père pendant le voyage.

24 Puis il congédia ses frères, qui partirent; et il leur dit: Ne vous querellez pas en chemin.
