创世记 42:1-4 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 42:1-38

God's trials of his people. The trial of Joseph is over. Now comes the trial of his brethren and of Jacob. The Spirit of God is at work in all their hearts. True men they were and yet sinful men. Before they can be made partakers of the blessing of Joseph they must pass through the fire. He who is appointed minister of grace to them is the instrument of their trials. Notice— I. The trial is one of CONSCIENCE . "We are verily guilty concerning our brother. "His blood is required."... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 42:2

And he said, Behold, I have heard (this does not imply that the rumor had not also reached Jacob's sons, but only that the proposal to visit Egypt did not originate with them) that there is corn — שֶׁבֶר ut supra , σῖτος ( LXX .) , triticum (Vulgate)— in Egypt: get you down thither. That Jacob did not, like Abraham ( Genesis 12:10 )and Isaac ( Genesis 26:2 ), propose to remove his family to Egypt, may be explained either by the length of the journey, which was too... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 42:3

And Joseph's ten brethren went down —either it was for safety that all the ten went, or because, the corn being sold to individuals, the quantity received would depend on their numbers (Lange)— to buy corn —the word for corn, בָּר , if not a primitive, like the Latin far (Furst), may be derived from בָּרַר , to separate, sever, choose out, hence purify (Aben Ezra, Kimchi, Gesenius), and may describe grain as that which has been cleaned from chaff, as in Jeremiah 4:11 — in ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 42:4

But (literally, and) Benjamin, Joseph's brother ( vide Genesis 35:18 ), Jacob sent not with his brethren . Not because of his youth (Patrick, Lange), since he was now upwards of twenty years of age, but because he was Joseph's brother, and had taken Joseph's place in his father's affections (Lawson, Lange, Murphy, &c.;), causing the old man to cherish him with tender solicitude. For he said (to, or within, himself, perhaps recalling the fate of Joseph), Lest peradventure... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 42:1-2

Genesis 42:1-2 . When Jacob saw That is, heard, as the word is used, Exodus 20:18; or saw the corn which his neighbours had bought there and brought home. Why look ye one upon another? As careless and helpless persons, each one expecting relief from the other; but none offering either counsel or help for the subsistence of all. Go down thither Masters of families must not only pray for daily bread for their families, but must, with care and industry, endeavour to provide it. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 42:1-38

Joseph and his brothers (42:1-45:28)When Joseph’s brothers came to Egypt to buy grain, Joseph recognized them but they did not recognize him (42:1-8). Rather than make himself known to them immediately, Joseph decided to test them to see if they had experienced any change of heart over the years. Joseph was not looking for revenge. His apparently harsh treatment of them, mixed with kindness, was designed to stir their consciences. They realized they were being punished for their unjust... read more
