Genesis 45:17
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan; And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
Pharaoh himself added his own authority to the invitation Joseph had given to his brothers. He commanded them to load their animals for the journey and to set out back toward the land of Canaan. Their errand was to return there and then bring their father and their families down to Egypt.
