to God; and being afraid that the happiness there was in Egypt might tempt
his posterity to fall in love with it, and settle in it, and no more think

them; as also being afraid, lest, if this descent into Egypt were made
without the will of God, his family might be destroyed there; out of fear,
withal, lest he should depart this life before he came to the sight of
Joseph; he fell asleep, revolving these doubts in his mind.
