Israel sets out stopping only to worship God at a
significant place from his past, Beersheba, where Jacob's grandfather made an oath. Although Jacob is going on about dying and he wants to see Joseph before he does die, he still stops to worship. there may be a message here?
There are 70 direct family members of Jacob who go to Egypt, in the form of children and grand children.
Joseph goes
out and has a fond re-union with his father, Jacob on the outskirts of Egypt and instructs his family on
how to what to tell Pharaoh to make sure that they are welcomed into the land and also that they are well taken care of.
I guess it helps getting fast track through immigration if you are the father of the prime minister!
Generally this is a heartwarming chapter but there really is not a lot here that gets me excited.
