Joseph accompanied his eleven brethren to the frontier,
and there he took leave of them with the wish that they and
all their families come down to Egypt,[291] and he enjoined

Do not take too large steps; do not discuss Halakic
subjects, that you lose not your way; and enter the city at
the latest with the going down of the sun.[292]
