LIV:101  And Jacob rose up to meet them, and saw his sons dressed in royal garments and he saw all
          the treasures that Joseph had sent to them.
LIV:102  And they said unto him, Be informed that our brother Joseph is living, and it is he who
          ruleth throughout the land of Egypt, and it is he who spoke unto us as we told thee.
LIV:103  And Jacob heard all the words of his sons, and his heart palpitated at their words, for he
          could not believe them until he saw all that Joseph had given them and what he had sent him,
          and all the signs which Joseph had spoken unto them.
LIV:104  And they opened out before him, and showed him all that Joseph had sent, they gave unto
          ach what Joseph had sent him, and he knew that they had spoken the truth, and he rejoiced
          exceedingly on account of his son.
LIV:105  And Jacob said, It is enough for me that my son Joseph is still living, I will go and see him
          before I die.
LIV:106  And his sons told him all that had befallen them, and Jacob said, I will go down to Egypt to
          see my son and his offspring.
LIV:107  And Jacob rose up and put on the garments which Joseph had sent him, and after he had
          washed, and shaved his hair, he put upon his head the turban which Joseph had sent him.
LIV:108  And all the people of Jacob’s house and their wives put on the garments which Joseph had
          sent to them, and they greatly rejoiced at Joseph that he was still living and that he was ruling
          in Egypt.
LIV:109  And all the inhabitants of Canaan heard of this thing, and they came and rejoiced much
          with Jacob that he was still living.
LIV:110  And Jacob made a feast for them for three days, and all the kings of Canaan and nobles of
          the land ate and drank and rejoiced in the house of Jacob.
