Context
7Nilipokuwa ninarudi kutoka Padani, katika huzuni yangu Raheli alifariki katika nchi ya Kanaani tulipokuwa tungali tukisafiri, tukiwa karibu kufika Efrathi. Kwa hiyo nilimzika huko, kando ya njia iendayo Efrathi” (yaani Bethlehemu). 8Wakati Israeli alipowaona wana wa Yosefu, akauliza, “Hawa ni nani?” 9Yosefu akamjibu baba yake, “Hawa ni wana ambao Mungu amenipa nikiwa huku.”
Ndipo Israeli akasema, “Walete kwangu ili niwabariki.” 10Basi macho ya Israeli yalikuwa hayaoni vizuri kwa sababu ya uzee, naye aliona kwa shida. Kwa hiyo Yosefu akawaleta wanawe karibu na baba yake, Israeli akawabusu na akawakumbatia. 11Israeli akamwambia Yosefu, “Kamwe sikutazamia kuuona uso wako tena, lakini sasa Mungu ameniruhusu kuwaona watoto wako pia.”
