Midrasz do Rodzaju 45:2
וַיִּתֵּ֥ן אֶת־קֹל֖וֹ בִּבְכִ֑י וַיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ מִצְרַ֔יִם וַיִּשְׁמַ֖ע בֵּ֥ית פַּרְעֹֽה׃
I podniósł głos swój z płaczem: i usłyszeli Micrejczycy, i usłyszał dom Faraona.
Sefer HaYashar (midrash)
- And Joseph commanded his steward to bring unto his brothers offerings and gifts and garments. And he brought unto them many regal garments and great many gifts. And Joseph divided it amongst them. And to each of them Joseph gave changes of golden and silver raiments and three hundred pieces of silver. And Joseph commanded them to put on those garments. And he brought them before Pharaoh, and when Pharaoh saw all the brothers of Joseph, all of them powerful men and of comely appearance, he rejoiced exceedingly. And after this they went away from the presence of Pharaoh to go into the land of Canaan, unto their father, and Benjamin their brother with them. And Joseph took eleven chariots of Pharaoh and gave unto them. And Joseph gave unto them likewise his own chariot in which he rode on the day he was made king of Egypt, to bring their father in it unto Egypt. And Joseph sent garments to all the children of his brothers and a hundred pieces of silver to every one of them, and he sent also garments for the wives of his brothers from the garments of the king's wives according to their numbers, and various perfumeries he sent likewise unto them. And he gave to every one of his brothers ten men to go with them into the land of Canaan to attend upon them and their children and all belonging to them in coming into Egypt. And Joseph sent by the hand of his brother Benjamin, ten garments for his ten sons, an additional gift above the gifts sent to the other children of Jacob's sons. And he sent to each of them fifty pieces of silver and ten of Pharaoh’s chariots. And to his father he sent ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father, and all those that were with him, for provision on the road. And unto his sister Dinah he sent garments of silver and of gold and frankincense and myrrh and aloes, and all sorts of toilet articles in abundance. And he sent likewise such things to the wives of Benjamin from Pharaoh’s wives. And he gave unto all his brothers and also to their wives, from all sorts of onyx stones and bdellium, rubies and emeralds, and from all luxuries worn by the nobility of the Egyptians. There was nothing left, of all precious things that Joseph did not send unto his father's house. And he sent away his brothers and they went, and his brother Benjamin he sent with them, to go into the land of Canaan. And Joseph went out, to accompany them on the road on to the boundaries of Egypt, and he instructed them concerning his father and his household and their coming down into Egypt. And he said unto them: See that you fall not out by the way, for this thing was from the Lord in order to save the multitude of people from the famine, for five years yet will the famine be in the earth. And he commanded them saying: When you come into the land of Canaan do not bring that matter suddenly upon my father, but act prudently.
