And when they came in before Joseph, he took his parents unto him, and said Come into Egypt safe, if Allah will!
Then when they came in to Yusuf, he took his parents to lodge with him and said Enter safe into Egypt, if Allah please.

1221
And he of Egypt who purchased him said unto his wife Receive him honourably. Perchance he may prove useful to us or we may adopt him as a son. Thus we established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah was predominant in His career, but most of mankind know not.
And the Egyptian who bought him said to his wife Give him an honorable abode, maybe he will be useful to us, or we may adopt him as a son. And thus did We establish Yusuf in the land and that We might teach him the interpretation of sayings; and Allah is the master of His affair, but most people do not know.
The man in Egypt who bought him, said to his wife "Make his stay (among us) honourable may be he will bring us much good, or we shall adopt him as a son." Thus did We establish Joseph in the land, that We might teach him the interpretation of stories (and events). And God hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not.
Are the words really supposed to mean Egypt/Egyptian? What do these words actually mean?
Take care.
