Israel said, “Enough! My son Joseph is still alive. I must go and see him before I die.”
But when they told him all the words of Joseph that he had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.
When Israel set out on his journey with all that he had and came to Beer-sheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Israel said to Joseph, “I can die now, having seen for myself that you are still alive.”
