Genesis 45:28

וַ יֹּאמֶר יִשְׂרָאֵל רַב עֹוד יֹוסֵף בְּנִי חָי אֵלְכָה וְ אֶרְאֶנּוּ בְּ טֶרֶם אָמוּת
And El-Strives is saying, `Abundant, again He-Adds my builder is a living-one1300 I am walking and I am seeing him before I am dying.`
1300

A father and builder are both spoken of as חַי chay, a living-one.
