But when they told him all that Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the wagons Joseph had sent to take him to Egypt, he recovered from the shock. “My son Joseph is still alive!” Israel said. “Now I’m convinced! I must go to see him before I die.”

Israel said, “I’ve heard enough—my son Joseph is still alive. I’ve got to go and see him before I die.” * * *
