The Hebrew word for "household" is "בֵּית" (beit), which signifies not just a physical dwelling but also a family or lineage. Joseph's household would have included not only his immediate family but also servants and others under his care. This reflects the patriarchal structure of ancient Near Eastern societies, where the family unit was central to social and economic life. Joseph, as a leader in Egypt, had a significant household, emphasizing his status and the respect he commanded.<p><b>and his brothers</b><br />The mention of "his brothers" highlights the reconciliation and restoration of relationships that have occurred since the earlier chapters of Genesis. The Hebrew word for "brothers" is "אָחִים" (achim), which can also mean kinsmen or relatives. This is significant because it underscores the theme of forgiveness and unity within the family of Jacob, despite the earlier betrayal and conflict. The brothers' presence signifies their acceptance of Joseph's leadership and the healing of past wounds.<p><b>and his father’s household</b><br />This phrase extends the scope of those accompanying Joseph to include the broader family of Jacob. The term "household" again emphasizes the collective nature of the family unit. Jacob's household would have been substantial, including not only his sons but also their families and servants. This reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to Jacob that his descendants would be numerous and influential. The inclusion of Jacob's household in this journey signifies the continuation of the covenantal promise through the generations.<p><b>Only their children and flocks and herds were left in Goshen</b><br />The word "Only" (Hebrew: רַק, rak) serves to highlight the exception to the otherwise comprehensive movement of the family. The decision to leave "their children and flocks and herds" in Goshen indicates a temporary departure, suggesting that the journey was not intended to be permanent. Goshen, located in the fertile Nile Delta, was a region given to the Israelites by Pharaoh, symbolizing God's provision and favor. The retention of children and livestock in Goshen underscores the practical considerations of maintaining their livelihood and ensuring the safety of the next generation. This decision reflects the wisdom and foresight of Joseph and his family, ensuring that their return to Egypt would be to a place of security and prosperity.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/genesis/50-8.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">along with all</span><br /><span class="heb">וְכֹל֙</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ḵōl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun -
