 Bᵊeir ShëvꞋa, Kᵊna•anꞋ |
So Yi•sᵊr•â•eilꞋ sent YᵊhudꞋâh north to Ankh-Tawi, while they continued west along the north coast of the Sin•aiꞋ toward the Delta, so that Yo•seiphꞋ could give YᵊhudꞋâh directions exactly where their new home of GōshꞋen was located in the Delta.

 Më•rᵊkâv•âhꞋ archer |
When YᵊhudꞋâh returned to Ankh-Tawi, Yo•seiphꞋ harnessed horses to his më•rᵊkâv•âhꞋ and went down with YᵊhudꞋâh GōshꞋen-ward to rendezvous with his father, Yi•sᵊr•â•eilꞋ, and his brothers, Bᵊn•eiꞋ-Yi•sᵊrâ•eilꞋ.
Upon seeing his father, Yo•seiphꞋ reined-in his më•rᵊkâv•âhꞋ and horses, jumped down and ran to hug his father. Then he wept for joy some more.
"Now," Yi•sᵊr•â•eilꞋ exclaimed to Yo•seiphꞋ, "I can die having seen your face, that you're alive!"
Optional parental preparation:
Where is this map on a globe? Relative to where you live?
âÌÉùÑÆï (and âÌÉùÑÀðÈä), the northeast region of the Nile Delta in Lower Egypt – may, along with ðÈâÇùÑ, derive from âÌåÌùÑ (in contrast to cognates of ÷ÈøÇá). If this proposed derivation from âÌåÌùÑ is correct, then âÌÉùÑÆï may be Yo•seiphꞋ's translation and contraction (changing âÌåÌùÑÆï to âÌÉùÑÆï) in Hebrew, of Par•ohꞋ's reference to the area (in some Egyptian phrase), as âÌÒùÑ + ï ("their bloc").
Questions you might anticipate that your child might raise and be prepared to discuss:
What does rendezvous mean?
What is an archer?
What does rein-in mean?
