After years of separation, Jacob’s family is finally reunited. Jacob, his sons, and all their wives and children have set out from Canaan to join Joseph, and after many years of waiting, it seems God really is fulfilling his promise to Abraham, making his descendent as numerous as the stars in the sky.
