“And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:”
You shall live in the region of Goshen and be near me — you, your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and all you have. The provision of Goshen — a region suitable for their flocks, near enough to Joseph — is the specific and generous provision for the covenant family's settlement. The application: the care for the whole household — children, grandchildren, flocks, herds — is the covenant provision that honors the full scope of what family means.
