Génesis 48:11 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 48:11

And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy
face
Some years ago he never expected to have seen him any more; he had given him up for lost, as a dead man, when his sons brought him his coat dipped in blood; and by reason of the long course of years which passed before ever he heard anything of him: and, lo, God hath showed me also thy seed;
it was an additional favour to see his offspring; it can hardly be thought, that in a course of seventeen years he had been in Egypt, he had not seen them before, only he takes this opportunity, which was the last he should have of expressing his pleasure on this occasion.

Génesis 48:11 In-Context

9 Y José respondió a su padre: Son mis hijos, los que Dios me ha dado aquí. Y él dijo: Acércalos a mí, te ruego, para que yo los bendiga.
10 Y los ojos de Israel estaban tan débiles por la vejez que no podía ver. Entonces José se los acercó, y él los besó y los abrazó.
11 E Israel dijo a José: Nunca esperaba ver tu rostro, y he aquí, Dios me ha permitido ver también a tus hijos.
12 Entonces José los tomó de las rodillas de Jacob, y se inclinó con su rostro en tierra.
13 Y José tomó a los dos, a Efraín con la derecha, hacia la izquierda de Israel, y a Manasés con la izquierda, hacia la derecha de Israel, y se los acercó.
