24 E despediu a seus irmãos, e foram-se. E ele lhes disse: Não brigais pelo caminho.

25 E subiram do Egito, e chegaram à terra de Canaã a Jacó seu pai.

26 E deram-lhe as novas, dizendo: José vive ainda; e ele é senhor toda a terra do Egito. E seu coração se desmaiou; pois não cria neles.

27 E eles lhe contaram todas as palavras de José, que ele lhes havia falado; e vendo ele os carros que José enviava para levá-lo, o espírito de Jacó seu pai reviveu.

28 Então disse Israel: Basta; José meu filho vive ainda: irei, e lhe verei antes que eu morra.
