He's bringing them to Egypt.

He saves them from famine.

And

there's an interesting detail at the very end when he's setting up his family in Egypt, when they're going to live in Goshen.

And in Genesis 43, we see twice this reference to this kind of racial animosity between the Hebrews and the Egyptians.

And look what they say.

They say, and they sat on him for him by himself and they for themselves, his family, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him.

So this is talking about

Joseph's family, the Israelites, eating with the Egyptians, but they're eating by them.

They're separate.

So the Egyptians are eating by themselves.

This is because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews for that is abomination unto the Egyptians.

So they felt that eating with a Hebrew was an abomination.

But really before Joseph, there weren't where we see any Israelites in Egypt.

We don't really see it, but there's this historic hatred.

And then it says in Genesis 46, and this is, again, a common detail.

We normally just kind of, we read it, makes sense.

We just kind of gloss over it.

It says, when they're putting Joseph's family in Goshen and

He says that you shall say your servant's trade has been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we and also our fathers, that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen.
