Yoseph has revealed himself to his brothers and they have reconciled. All of Egypt and Pharaoh himself hear of this reunion. Now it is time for Yaakov and the whole family to reunite and come to Egypt. To this purpose, Pharaoh tells Yoseph to load up the animals, presumably the animals the brothers came down with, and commands Yoseph to send wagons back to Canaan with his brothers to transport the entire family to Egypt. Pharaoh is so thrilled that he tells Yoseph that his family should leave all their possessions behind, for Pharaoh will provide them with the best Egypt has to offer. Yoseph sends the brothers back with the empty wagons and with a total of twenty animals, laden with all the food necessary for the family journey from Canaan to Egypt. When the brothers return to Canaan, they tell Yaakov the amazing news that Yoseph is alive and is the ruler of all Egypt. Yaakov does not believe them, but when he sees the wagons, he believes and his spirit is revived.
