Gênesis 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.

Gênesis 48:11 In-Context

9 Respondeu José a seu pai: “São os filhos que Deus me deu aqui”.Então Israel disse: “Traga-os aqui para que eu os abençoe”.
10 Os olhos de Israel já estavam enfraquecidos por causa da idade avançada, e ele mal podia enxergar. Por isso José levou seus filhos para perto dele, e seu pai os beijou e os abraçou.
11 E Israel disse a José: “Nunca pensei que veria a sua face novamente, e agora Deus me concede ver também os seus filhos!”
12 Em seguida, José os tirou do colo de Israel e curvou-se com o rosto em terra.
13 E José tomou os dois, Efraim à sua direita, perto da mão esquerda de Israel, e Manassés à sua esquerda, perto da mão direita de Israel, e os aproximou dele.
