Genesis 46:29
And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while. And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
The meeting took place at Goshen, where Joseph went up to meet his father Israel, also called Jacob. He did not remain in his chariot but left it and hastened and ran on foot to meet his father. He embraced him, falling on his neck, and father and son wept over each other together for a long time, a good while.
The reunion was very affectionate and moving, a very affecting outpouring of the deep love and joy that had been restrained during their many years apart. Jacob had long mourned Joseph as dead, and after seeing him alive again he said he was now willing and ready to die. Joseph's greeting showed deep filial reverence, respect and love, and he tenderly cared for his father's comfort in his declining years.
His example teaches young people to love and honor their parents, and love for one's mother is a trait God approves.
