18and take your father and your households and come to me; and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.’
19Now you are ordered, ‘Do this: take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father and come.
20And do not concern yourselves with your property, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.’?'
