Genesis 50:23 please click scripture is says brought up, in this translation. To me it speaks personally about the children like myself (for example) were brought up very young, closely on the knees of my Dad & Granddad. Where you see what they read, what they watch , near everything they did. It is in an amazingly close relationship.
