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. |
