創世記 46:1-3 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 46:1-7

God speaking in the visions of the night. While there were providential intimations which were clear enough, still the direct revelation of God was necessary for Jacob's assurance. At Beersheba, the consecrated spot, Jacob offers sacrifices in the covenant spirit, and receives in return the message of the covenant God: " I will make of thee a great nation." " I will also surely bring thee up again," i.e. in thy descendants. The vision is not a mere personal matter for Jacob's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 46:1-10

The three meetings. I. BETWEEN JACOB AND GOD . 1. A gracious meeting. In the visions of the night, at Beersheba, Jehovah, after a lapse of upwards of a quarter of a century, again makes known his presence to his servant. It was a signal act of gracious condescension on the part of God. 2. A promised meeting. As the God of Abraham and of Isaac, Jehovah had solemnly taken Jacob into covenant with himself, and engaged to be with him for guidance and succor wherever... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 46:1-34

The descent of Jacob and his family into Egypt. I. THE DEPARTURE FROM CANAAN ( Genesis 46:1-7 ). 1. The journey to Beersheba . Distant from Hebron somewhere over twenty miles, Beersheba lay directly in the way to Egypt. Yet doubtless the chief motive for halting at "the well of the oath" consisted in the fact that it had been, so to speak, consecrated by the previous encampments of Abraham and Isaac, by the altars they had there erected, and the revelations they had there... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 46:2

And God (Elohim) sp ake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob —the name Jacob being employed probably to remind Jacob of what he had been (Lawson, Bush, Wordsworth), and repeated ut magis attentus reddatur ( Calvin ). And he said, Here am I— literally, behold me (cf. Genesis 22:1 ), read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 46:3

And he said, I am God, the God of thy father —literally, I am the El (the Mighty One), the Elohim of thy father . Though in consequence of this phrase the section ( Genesis 46:1-7 ), indeed the entire chapter, is usually assigned to the Elohist (Tuch, Bleek, Vaihinger), yet the contents of this theophany are felt to be so substantially Jehovistic in their import (Hengstenberg), that certain critics have been constrained to give Genesis 46:1-5 to the Jehovist (Colenso), or,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 46:3-4

Guidance. Convinced that Joseph really lived, Jacob's first impulse was to hasten to him. But at Beersheba, ere he left the land of Canaan, he sought guidance of God. The promise made him reminds of that at Bethel. Each on the occasion of leaving the land; each revealing God's protecting care. His presence is the only pledge of safety (cf. Exodus 33:14 , Exodus 33:15 ). It was not a word for Jacob only. Had it been so it would have failed, for Jacob never returned to Canaan. It was... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 46:1

Genesis 46:1. Israel came to Beer-sheba Which place he chose in remembrance of the communion which his father and grandfather had had with God in that place. And offered sacrifices That is, extraordinary sacrifices, besides those he was wont to offer at stated times; and this he did, as well to express his gratitude for the preservation of Joseph’s life, and the many other blessings which he had received, as by way of supplication to God for his direction in this important affair, whether... read more

Genesis 46:2. God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night Probably the next night after he had offered his sacrifices. Those who desire to keep up communion with God, shall find that it never fails on his side. If we speak to him as we ought, he will not fail to speak to us. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 46:3

Genesis 46:3. I am God, the God of thy father True to the covenant made with him. Fear not to go down into Egypt It seems though Jacob, upon the first intelligence of Joseph’s life and glory in Egypt, resolved, without any hesitation, I will go and see him, yet, upon second thoughts, he saw difficulties in Gen 2:1 st, He was one hundred and thirty years old; it was a long journey, and he was unfit to travel. 2d, He feared lest his sons should be tainted with the idolatry of Egypt, and... read more
