Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

גֹּ֑שְׁנָ⁠ה

Goshen,to

Goshen was a region or territory that was part of the country of Egypt. For some languages it is better to make that explicit here, rather than wait until the end of the verse. Do what is best in your language. Also be consistent here with how you spelled Goshen in Gen 45:10. Alternate translation: “to the region of Goshen.” or “to Goshen County.”

and=they_came

Make sure it is clear in your translation who is being referred to here. Alternate translation: “Then Jacob and his family traveled to”

towards=land Goshen

If you use the land of Goshen earlier in this verse, it may be better to just say Goshen here. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “the region of Goshen.” or “Goshen County.”
