John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 44:30

Now therefore, when I come to thy servant my father ,.... That is, should he return to him in the land of Canaan with the rest of his brethren: and the lad be not with us ; his brother Benjamin, so called here, and in the following verses, though thirty years of age and upwards, see Genesis 43:8 , seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life ; he is as closely united to him in affection, and is as dear to him as his own soul; quite wrapped up in him, and cannot live without... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 44:31

It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us , that he will die ,.... As soon as ever he sees us, without asking any question and observes that Benjamin is missing he will conclude at once that he is dead, which will so seize his spirits, that he will expire immediately: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant, our father, with sorrow to the grave ; as he said would be the case, Genesis 44:29 ; and which would be very afflicting to his... read more

For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father ,....

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 44:33

Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord ,.... Being, as Jarchi observes preferable to Benjamin for strength, for war, and for service: in this Judah was a type of Christ, from whose tribe he sprung, who became the surety of God's Benjamins, his children who are beloved by him, and as dear to him as his right hand, and put himself in their legal place and stead, and became sin and a curse for them, that they might go free, as Judah desired his... read more

For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me ?.... Signifying that he must abide in Egypt, and chose to do it, and could not go up to the land of Canaan any more or see his father's face without Benjamin along with him, to whom he was a surety for him: lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father ; see him die, or live a life of sorrow worse than death: this he could not bear, and chose rather to be a slave in Egypt, than to be the spectator of such... read more

Character built on faith. This chapter continues the same thread of Joseph's policy, and the same lessons are in it. I. PRACTICAL WISDOM THE FRUIT OF PIETY . The true man is the strong man.

Then Judah came near to him, and said, —the speech of Judah in behalf of his young brother Benjamin has been fittingly characterized as "one of the master. pieces of Hebrew composition" (Kalisch), "one of the grandest and fairest to be found in the Old Testament" (Lange), "a more moving oration than ever orator pronounced" (Lawson), "one of the finest specimens of natural eloquence in the world" (Inglis).

A surety. "For thy servant became surety for the lad unto his father." The brethren of Joseph had been surprised on their second visit to Egypt at the cordiality of their reception. They started homewards with well-laden sacks and trembling gladness. They had not gone far when they were overtaken, their sacks searched, and the cup found.
