And Israel said, “I’m convinced! My son Joseph is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
But when they told him everything Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts Joseph had sent to carry him back, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.
So Israel set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Israel said to Joseph, “Now I am ready to die, since I have seen for myself that you are still alive.”
