Genesis 45:14-24
New International Version
14 Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin(A) embraced him,(B) weeping. 15 And he kissed(C) all his brothers and wept over them.(D) Afterward his brothers talked with him.(E)
16 When the news reached Pharaoh’s palace that Joseph’s brothers had come,(F) Pharaoh and all his officials(G) were pleased.(H) 17 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Tell your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals(I) and return to the land of Canaan,(J) 18 and bring your father and your families back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt(K) and you can enjoy the fat of the land.’(L)
19 “You are also directed to tell them, ‘Do this: Take some carts(M) from Egypt for your children and your wives, and get your father and come. 20 Never mind about your belongings,(N) because the best of all Egypt(O) will be yours.’”
21 So the sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them carts,(P) as Pharaoh had commanded, and he also gave them provisions for their journey.(Q) 22 To each of them he gave new clothing,(R) but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels[a] of silver and five sets of clothes.(S) 23 And this is what he sent to his father: ten donkeys(T) loaded with the best things(U) of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain and bread and other provisions for his journey.(V) 24 Then he sent his brothers away, and as they were leaving he said to them, “Don’t quarrel on the way!”(W)

Genesis 45:14-24
King James Version
14 And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
15 Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
16 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
18 And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
20 Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is your's.
21 And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
22 To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
23 And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
24 So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
