[⁴into ¹For ⁶nation ⁵a great ²I will make ³you] there. 4 And I will go down with you into Egypt. And I will transport you to the end.

And he wept weeping greatly. 30 And Israel said to Joseph, I will gladly die from now on, since I have seen your face, for still you live. 31 [³said ¹And ²Joseph] to his brothers, In ascending, I will report to Pharaoh. And I will say to him, My brothers, and the house of my father, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me. 32 And the men are shepherds, [³men ¹for ⁴grazing cattle ²they were].
