What does Genesis 45:25 mean?

Joseph has sent his 11 brothers back to their home in Canaan with a two-part mission (Genesis 45:17–20). They are to tell their father Jacob that Joseph is alive (Genesis 37:31–34). In fact, he is thriving as a powerful ruler in Egypt (Genesis 41:44). Then they need to convince Jacob to pack up all they own and move the entire extended family to Egypt. This will allow Joseph to provide a place for them to survive the famine (Genesis 45:6, 10–11).

The brothers arrive home with all the brothers safe and sound (Genesis 43:14), accompanied by wagons and gifts. Jacob has likely been anxiously awaiting the worst news since sending his sons away to buy grain (Genesis 43:1–2). Instead, he will hear news far better than he ever could have hoped.
