“You have convinced me!” Israel said. “My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
Yet, when they told their father everything Joseph had said to them and he saw the wagons Joseph had sent to bring him back, his spirits were lifted.
Israel moved with all he had. When he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Israel said to Joseph, “Now that I’ve seen for myself that you’re still alive, I’m ready to die.”
