Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 42:1-26

Joseph and His Brethren Genesis 42:1-26 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As we enter the Genesis 42:1-38 of Genesis we find Jacob and Joseph's brethren under the throes of the famine. As we see it from the Divine viewpoint there are several lessons from this famine, that, so far, we have not touched. 1. The Famine was sent from the hand of God. It was His hand that sent the years of plenty, as well. Those years were not years of average crops, but years of unprecedented harvests. Nothing like them had... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 42:9

‘And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them and said to them, “You are spies. You have come to see the nakedness of the land.” He had lessons which he wished to teach them. He remembered the dreams of them bowing down to him and was determined they would do it in full measure, for as they spoke with him through the interpreters they would constantly abase themselves to him. He accuses them of being spies come to spy out conditions in the land so as to report back to... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 42:1-38

Genesis 42. Joseph’ s Brothers Come to Egypt to Buy Corn, and unwittingly Encounter Joseph.— The greater part is taken from E, but Genesis 42:2; Genesis 42:4 b, Genesis 42:5; Genesis 42:7; Genesis 42:9 b – Genesis 42:11 a, Genesis 42:12; Genesis 42:27-Hosea : ab, Genesis 42:38 may be assigned to J. The treatment accorded to the brothers was not less than they deserved, and Joseph meant to punish them. But he meant also to test them and see if they had become better men. Presumably he... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 42:9

This he saith, not because they were so, or he thought them to be so, but that he might search out the truth of their affair, speaking too much like a courtier or politician. The nakedness of the land, i.e. the weak parts of it, and where it may be best assaulted or surprised. read more

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 42:6. Governor.] “The word rendered governor, Shalit, is, except here, said to be only found in the books contemporary with and following the Captivity. Salatis is given by Josephus as the title of the first shepherd-king.”—(Alford.)—Genesis 42:9. Spies.] “This dynasty, we are told by Manetho, was ever in fear of invasion from the then powerful Assyrians, and Josephus says that on that account they fortified the eastern side of Egypt. Hence men arriving from Asia, and... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Genesis 42:9

Genesis 42:9 Jacob became aware of a fact which his brother had not cared to know a fact for himself and his seed after him. The Being who had made man in His own image told this man that he was made in His image; taught him that he was not meant, like the serpent, to go on his belly and eat dust. This is the only explanation given. It assumes that man lives because he is related to God, that when he denies that relation he chooses death; it assumes that God is continually teaching men of their... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 42:1-38

The Pharaoh in Egypt had had two dreams with similarities because they had one interpretation. The first dream involved the seven fat cows grazing by the river and seven lean cows rising up and eating up the fat cows and still being lean. And then a wheat with seven stalks or corn of wheat upon them and fat and full followed by seven lean blasted wheat. And the lean and blasted wheat ate up the fat wheat.The dream bothered Pharaoh. He called for his wise men and his astrologers for an... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 42:1-38

Genesis 42:4. Benjamin. Jacob wished to reserve him to be heir of the blessing instead of Joseph, who he thought was dead. Hence he let the ten go, for it is highly probable that the Egyptians would not sell corn in large quantities to one man. Jacob’s fears seem to indicate a secret suspicion that Joseph had received foul treatment. Genesis 42:6. Bowed down. The ten sheaves now made obeisance to Joseph’s sheaf, though they knew it not. Joseph, it would seem, made all strangers come to... read more

Genesis 42:3-20Joseph’s ten brethren went down to buy corn in EgyptProvidence working in men’s livesI.The story of Joseph is a good example of what is meant by Providence working for the best in the lives of men. Look at the young foreigner, as he comes to a land not his own; see how he resists the one great temptation of his age and station; observe how, through means not of his own seeking, through good report and evil, through much misunderstanding of others, but by consistent integrity and... read more
