Jacob and Joseph Reunited

Genesis 46

28 And Judah he hath sent before him unto Joseph, to direct before him to Goshen, and they come into the land of Goshen; 29 and Joseph harnesseth his chariot, and goeth up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and appeareth unto him, and falleth on his neck, and weepeth on his neck again; 30 and Israel saith unto Joseph, `Let me die this time, after my seeing thy face, for thou [art] yet alive.' 31 And Joseph saith unto his brethren, and unto the house of his father, `I go up, and declare to Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and the house of my father who [are] in the land of Canaan have come in unto me; 32 and the men [are] feeders of a flock, for they have been men of cattle; and their flock, and their herd, and all that they have, they have brought.' 33 `And it hath come to pass when Pharaoh calleth for you, and hath said, What [are] your works? 34 that ye have said, Thy servants have been men of cattle from our youth, even until now, both we and our fathers, -- in order that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen, for the abomination of the Egyptians is every one feeding a flock.'
