Joseph gives gifts to his brethren; as in genesis 45:21-23: "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. 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. 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.
