27 Joseph had 2 sons born in Egypt. So the total number in the family of Jacob in Egypt was 70.
28 Jacob sent Judah ahead of him to see Joseph in Goshen. Then Jacob and his people came into the land of Goshen.
29 Joseph prepared his chariot and went to meet his father Israel in Goshen. As soon as Joseph saw his father, he hugged his neck. And he cried there for a long time.
30 Then Israel said to Joseph, “Now I am ready to die. I have seen your face. And I know that you are still alive.”
31 Joseph said to his brothers and his father’s family, “I will go and tell the king you are here. I will say, ‘My brothers and my father’s family have left the land of Canaan. They have come here to me.
32 They are shepherds and take care of farm animals. And they have brought their flocks and their herds and everything they own with them.’
33 When the king calls you, he will ask, ‘What work do you do?’
