27 Med de to sønnene som ble født til Josef i Egypt, var alle medlemmene av Jakobs husstand som dro til Egypt sytti i alt.

28 Jakob sendte Juda foran til Josef for å få veibeskrivelse til Gosen. Da de kom til området Gosen,

gjorde Josef i stand vognen sin og dro til Gosen for å møte sin far Israel. Så snart han kom til syne for ham, omfavnet han ham og gråt lenge.

30 Israel sa til Josef: "Nå er jeg klar til å dø, etter å ha sett med egne øyne at du fortsatt lever."

31 Josef sa til sine brødre og til sin fars husstand: "Jeg vil dra opp og tale til farao, og fortelle ham: 'Mine brødre og min fars husstand, som bodde i Kanaan, har kommet til meg.
