Genesis 45:11 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 45:11

And there will I nourish thee
Provide for him and his family:

for yet [there are] five years of famine;
still to come, two of the seven only being past:

lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty;
his whole posterity be consumed, as it would be in all probability, if he did not procure food for his family during the famine.

10 et habita in terra Gessen erisque iuxta me tu et filii tui et filii filiorum tuorum oves tuae et armenta tua et universa quae possides
