Conclusion of The Family Moves to Egypt

Then Joseph throws his arms around his brothers, and he hugs and kisses them all.  When Phar'aoh hears that Joseph's brothers  have come, he tells Joseph: 'Let them take the wagons and go get their father and their families and come back here.  I will give them the best land in all of Egypt.' 

That is what they did. Joseph met his father when he got to Egypt with whole family. 

Jacob's family ad become very bit. Altogether there were  70 when they moved to Egypt, counting Jacob and his children and grandchildren. But there was also the wives, and probably many servants too.  These all settled in Egypt.  They were called Israelites, because God had changed the name of  Jacob to Israel. The Israelites became a very special people to God, as we will see later.
