The steward replied, “What you have said is right, but only the one who is found to have it will be my slave, and the rest of you will be blameless.”

The sons of Israel did this. Joseph gave them wagons as Pharaoh had commanded, and he gave them provisions for the journey.

Joseph said to his father, “Not that way, my father! This one is the firstborn. Put your right hand on his head.”
