וַיַּגִּ֨דוּ ל֜וֹ לֵאמֹ֗ר ע֚וֹד יוֹסֵ֣ף חַ֔י וְכִֽי־ה֥וּא מֹשֵׁ֖ל בְּכָל־אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם וַיָּ֣פָג לִבּ֔וֹ כִּ֥י לֹא־הֶאֱמִ֖ין לָהֶֽם׃
他們告訴他說：«約瑟還活著，而且他作了全埃及地的統治者。» 雅各的心就冷了，因為他不相信他們的話。

Genesis 45,26. “when he saw the carriages that Joseph had sent, etc.” Joseph had hinted to Yaakov that he should not be concerned about his family going into exile, as what was occurring now was a forerunner of the eventual redemption from exile. Temporary hardship, such as their having to leave the Holy Land now, would result in much greater good in the end. Both the word עגלה, carriage, which is a chair or couch on circular wheels, i.e. עיגול, circle, and the word סיבה, the cause of Yaakov been transported to Egypt on wheels into “exile” is related to this revolving nature of fate, סבב, spinning, revolving. Joseph wished to indicate to his father that temporary residence of his family in Egypt would result subsequently in his descendants inheriting the whole land of Israel.
