and,removed Yōşēf/(Joseph) DOM=them

Alternate translation: “Then Joseph took his sons away” or “Then Joseph had his sons step away”

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

מֵ⁠עִ֣ם בִּרְכָּ֑י⁠ו

from,on knees,his

Joseph’s sons (who were in their 20s) were near Israel's knees, so that he could hug them; they were not sitting on his knees or lap. Also make sure your translation of his refers to Joseph's father (Israel/Jacob), not Joseph. Alternate translation: “from near his father,”

וַ⁠יִּשְׁתַּ֥חוּ

and,bowed

Alternate translation: “and he prostrated himself before him”

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

לְ⁠אַפָּ֖י⁠ו אָֽרְצָ⁠ה

with,face,his ground,to

Joseph bowed to the ground to show thankfulness and respect to his father and possibly also to God. If necessary, you could make that information explicit in your translation or put it in a footnote. Alternate translation: “with his face toward the ground in thankfulness and respect.”
