The Meeting of Foseph and his Father.

HEN the eleven brothers went back joyfully to their father ;
and told old Jacob the good news that Joseph was alive,
and governor of the land of Egypt. And Jacob made haste to
go at once to his beloved son, sending on Judah, to tell Joseph
by which road he should journey. And Joseph went to meet his
father in the land of Goshen. And when he saw the old man,
he “fell on his neck, and wept on his neck, a good while.”
And Jacob thanked Gon for letting him see Joseph once
more before he died,

 

Facob Brought before Pharaoh. LOE

HARAOH wished to see the father of his wise servant

Joseph ; so Joseph brought Jacob into the presence of
the King. And the aged man blessed the monarch who had
been so good to his lost son. Pharaoh gave the land of Goshen
to Joseph for his family to dwell in; and Jacob was blessed with
the tender care of his dear son all the rest/of his life. Thus
Joseph’s dreams were fulfilled. His brethren bowed down to |
him ; his father depended on his care.

In the story of these brothers we see the truth of the ©
Proverb—

« The wise shall inherit glory; but shame shall be the promotion
of fools” (the wicked).—PRrov. iii. 35.
