²⁸ And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.

²¹ A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

²² And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

²⁹ Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:

³⁰ For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

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