Come down to me; do not tarry. 10 iYou shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your children’s children, and your flocks, your herds, and all that you have. 11 jThere I will provide for you, for there are yet five years of famine to come, so that you and your household, and all that you have, do not come to poverty.’Genesis 49:26

up to the bounties kof the everlasting hills. ▼
