Gênesis 46:29 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 46:29

And Joseph made ready his chariot
Or "bound" ^F25 it, fastened the horses to it, harnessed them, and put them to; this he did not himself, as Jarchi thinks, for the honour of his father; but rather, as Aben Ezra, by ordering his servants to do it:

and went up to meet Israel his father in Goshen;
that being higher than the other part of Egypt, as it must be, if it was in Thebes, or upper Egypt, as some Jewish writers say ^F26; and Fium, supposed to be the place the Israelites dwelt in, see ( Genesis 47:11 ) , stood very high ^F1:

and presented himself unto him;
alighted from his chariot, and came up to his father, and stood before him, and showed himself to him, declaring who he was:

and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while:
either Jacob fell on the neck of Joseph, and wept over him a good while before he could speak to him, as the father of the prodigal son fell on his neck and kissed him, ( Luke 15:20 ) ; or, as Jarchi, Joseph fell on his father's neck, as he had done upon his brethren before, but wept over him longer; their embraces were no doubt mutual and extremely affectionate, that for a while they were not able to speak a word to each other.

Gênesis 46:29 In-Context

27 e os filhos de José, que lhe nasceram no Egito, eram duas almas. Todas as almas da casa de Jacó, que vieram para o Egito eram setenta.

28 Ora, Jacó enviou Judá adiante de si a José, para o encaminhar a Gósen; e chegaram � terra de Gósen.

29 Então José aprontou o seu carro, e subiu ao encontro de Israel, seu pai, a Gósen; e tendo-se-lhe apresentado, lançou-se ao seu pescoço, e chorou sobre o seu pescoço longo tempo.

30 E Israel disse a José: Morra eu agora, já que tenho visto o teu rosto, pois que ainda vives.

31 Depois disse José a seus irmãos, e � casa de seu pai: Eu subirei e informarei a Faraó, e lhe direi: Meus irmãos e a casa de meu pai, que estavam na terra de Canaã, vieram para mim.
