Jacob Hears that Joseph is Alive
The brothers speedily brought home the news to their father Jacob, reviving his spirit.
Genesis 45:25-28
They went up from Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan. And they told him, “Joseph is still alive; yes, he is ruler over the whole land of Egypt.” His heart went numb, for he did not believe them. But when they recounted all that Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to transport him, the spirit of their father Jacob revived.
"Enough!" said Israel. "My son Joseph is still alive! I must go and see him before I die."
