Da Josef kom for å møte sin far Jakob i landet Goshen, omfavnet han sin fars hals og gråt.

When Joseph came to meet his father Jacob in the land of Goshen, he wrapped his arms around his father’s neck and cried.

Israel sa til Josef: 'Nå kan jeg dø etter å ha sett deg. Måtte Herren, Israels Gud, Abrahams Gud og Isaks Gud — som ikke har holdt tilbake sin vennlighet og barmhjertighet fra sin tjener Jakob — bli velsignet.

Israel said to Joseph: ‘Now let me die after I have seen you. Now may the Lord, the God of Israel, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac — who has not withheld his kindness and his mercy from his servant Jacob — be blessed.

Det er nok for meg at jeg har sett ditt ansikt mens jeg lever, fordi det synet jeg så i Betel var absolutt sant. Måtte Herren min Gud bli velsignet for evig tid, og måtte hans navn bli velsignet'.

It is enough for me that I have seen your face while I am alive, because the vision that I saw in Bethel was certainly true. May the Lord my God be blessed forever and ever and may his name be blessed’.

Josef og brødrene hans spiste mat og drakk vin foran sin far. Jakob var overmåte glad fordi han så Josef spise og drikke med sine brødre foran seg. Han velsignet skaperen av alt som hadde bevart ham og bevart hans tolv sønner for ham.

Joseph and his brothers ate food and drank wine in front of their father. Jacob was extremely happy because in front of him he saw Joseph eating and drinking with his brothers. He blessed the creator of all who had preserved him and preserved his twelve sons for him.

Josef ga sin far og sine brødre rett til å bo i landet Goshen og i Ramses; og han ga dem alle dens distrikter som de skulle styre i faraos nærvær. Israel og hans sønner bodde i landet Goshen, den beste delen av Egyptens land. Israel var 130 år da han kom til Egypt.

As a gift Joseph gave his father and his brothers (the right) to live in the land of Goshen and in Ramses; and (he gave) them all its districts which they would rule in the pharaoh’s presence. Israel and his sons lived in the land of Goshen, the best part of the land of Egypt. Israel was 130 years of age when he came into Egypt.

Josef sørget for så mye mat for sin far, sine brødre, og også for deres buskap som ville være nok for dem i de sju årene med hungersnød.

Joseph provided as much food for his father, his brothers, and also for their livestock as would be sufficient for them for the seven years of famine.

Mens Egyptens land led under hungersnøden, vant Josef hele Egyptens land for farao i bytte mot mat. Han skaffet folket, deres buskap, og alt for farao.

As the land of Egypt suffered from the famine, Joseph gained the whole land of Egypt for the pharaoh in exchange for food. He acquired the people, their cattle, and everything for the pharaoh.

Da årene med hungersnød var over, ga Josef såkorn og mat til folket som var i landet så de kunne så korn i det åttende året fordi elven hadde oversvømmet hele Egyptens land.

When the years of the famine were completed, Joseph gave seed and food to the people who were in the land so that they could sow seed in the eighth year because the river had overflowed the entire land of Egypt.

For i de sju årene med hungersnød hadde den kun vannet noen få steder ved elvebredden, men nå flommet den over. Egypterne sådde landet, og det ga god avling det året.

For during the seven years of the famine it had irrigated only a few places at the river bank, but now it overflowed. The Egyptians seeded the land, and it yielded good produce that year.

He slept with his fathers and was buried near his father Abraham in the double cave in the land of Canaan — in the grave which he had dug for himself in the double cave in the land of Hebron.

He gave all his books and the books of his fathers to his son Levi so that he could preserve them and renew them for his sons until today.
