Yakov is sure Yosef is alive when he sees the wagons sent to him. What do the wagons signify?
Answer: A wagon is called an “Agala.” He and Yosef had last been learning the issue of the “Egla Arufa,” the heifer whose neck is broken as part of the ritual when an unidentified corpse is found. “Agala” and “Egla” share the same letters, and were a kind of code that Yosef was indeed alive.
