Take your father and your households, and come to me, and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.'

And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.

Commentary

And take your father, and your households,.... Or families, for they were all married persons, and had children, and no doubt servants a lso: all were to be brought with them: and come unto me; into his kingdom, to his metropolis, and to his palace, and into his presence: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt; the best things which it affords, and the best and most fruitful part of it, as he afterwards did, which was the land of Goshen: and ye shall eat the fat of the land; the choicest fruits of the earth, such as were produced in fields and gardens; meaning that they should have the finest of the wheat for themselves, and the fattest pastures for their flocks.
