לאלוקי אביו יצחק, He had become this because Yitzchok had previously built an altar there to this G’d when G’d had appeared to him there as we know from 26,25 where Yitzchok was reported offering sacrifices there as had done his father Avraham.

אעלך גם עלה, G’d meant that He would both descend with Yaakov to Egypt and also return with him to the Holy Land. The single expression גם serving as preposition for two activities, also occurs in Exodus 12,32 וברכתם גם אותי, when Pharaoh asked Moses to bless him as well as the Jewish people when they would offer sacrifices to their G’d.

(2) ALSO RAISING. That he was buried in with his ancestors in the Cave of Machpelah.

ישית ידו על עיניך, the word עיניך does not mean “your eyes,” but “your affairs, your needs.” Joseph will look after all of Yaakov’s needs during the years remaining to him in Egypt The expression occurs in Job 9,33.

יעקב ובניו, Yaakov is included in the number 70 as is evident from the plain meaning of the words in front of us, i.e. כל נפש בניו ובנותיו של יעקב ולאה הכל שלושים ושלוש (verse 15). This total of 33 presupposes that Yaakov is included.

כל נפש בניו ובנותיו, Our sages in Baba Batra 123 claim that the number includes Yocheved who was born at the border with Egypt, Yaakov not being part of the count of 33.

(1) [ALL THE PERSONS WHO CAME WITH YA'AKOV TO EGYPT] HIS OWN ISSUE. Who are coming to Egypt.

(2) ALL THESE PERSONS NUMBERED 66. For Ya'akov, who was among the count of 33 relating to Leah, is not among "his own issue," for "his own issue" were only 69. And this is what Moshe said (Deut. 10:22), "Your ancestors went down to Egypt seventy persons in all, for Ya'akov and his descendants were 70.

A GOOD WHILE. Much, as it is written (Job 34:23), "He will not require much of a person." [JPS: He has no set time for man.]

THE MEN ARE SHEPHERDS. Yosef said all this to Par'oh.

For [all shepherds] are an abomination in Egypt - All shepherds were disgraceful in their eyes, for sheep were loathsome to them - whether for eating or for sacrifice - as it is written, "If we sacrifice what is abominable to the Egyptians..." (Ex. 9:22)
