וְאַתָּ֥ה צֻוֵּ֖יתָה זֹ֣את עֲשׂ֑וּ קְחוּ־לָכֶם֩ מֵאֶ֨רֶץ מִצְרַ֜יִם עֲגָל֗וֹת לְטַפְּכֶם֙ וְלִנְשֵׁיכֶ֔ם וּנְשָׂאתֶ֥ם אֶת־אֲבִיכֶ֖ם וּבָאתֶֽם׃
“Engkau pun diperintahkan menyampaikan: Lakukanlah ini: ambillah bagimu kereta-kereta dari tanah Mesir untuk anak-anakmu yang kecil dan untuk istri-istrimu, lalu angkutlah ayahmu dan datanglah.”
Bereshit Rabbati
(Genesis 45:19) "Take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones [and for your wives] and bring your father." The nations of the world, since they are not commanded regarding honoring their father and mother, Pharaoh preempted this by urging the sons and their wives to bring their father. But the sons of Jacob, who were righteous and careful about honoring their father and mother, initially carried their father, and afterward their sons and wives. This is beloved, as it is stated, "And the children of Israel carried Jacob, their father," and afterward, "and their little ones and their wives" (Exodus 46:5).
