Kejadian 46:29

46:29 Joseph harnessed his chariot and went up to meet his father Israel in Goshen. When he met him, ¹  he hugged his neck and wept on his neck for quite some time.

Kejadian 47:7

47:7 Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and presented him ²  before Pharaoh. Jacob blessed ³  Pharaoh.

[46:29]  ¹ tn Heb “and he appeared to him.”

[47:7]  ² tn Heb “caused him to stand.”

[47:7]  ³ sn The precise meaning of the Hebrew verb translated “blessed” is difficult in this passage, because the content of Jacob’s blessing is not given. The expression could simply mean that he greeted Pharaoh, but that seems insufficient in this setting. Jacob probably praised Pharaoh, for the verb is used this way for praising God. It is also possible that he pronounced a formal prayer of blessing, asking God to reward Pharaoh for his kindness.
