³ And He said, I am El Elohei Avicha; fear not to go down to Mitzrayim; for there I will make thee a Goy Gadol;

⁴ I will go down with thee to Mitzrayim; and I will also surely bring thee up again; and Yosef shall put his yad upon thine eyes.

²⁸ And he sent Yehudah before him unto Yosef, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into Eretz Goshen.

²⁹ And Yosef made ready his merkavah, and went up to meet Yisroel Aviv, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a long time.

³⁰ And Yisroel said unto Yosef, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.

³¹ And Yosef said unto his achim, and unto Bais Aviv, I will go up, and speak to Pharaoh, and say unto him, My achim and Bais Avi, which were in Eretz Kena’an, are come unto me;

³² And the anashim are roei tzon (shepherds), keepers of livestock; and they have brought their tzon, and their bakar, and all that they have.

³³ And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is ma’aseichem (your occupation)?

³⁴ That ye shall say, Thy avadim hath been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we, and also Avoteinu; that ye may dwell in Eretz Goshen; for every ro’eh tzon is a toevat Mitzrayim.
