L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 45:1-28
JOSEPH REVEALS HIMSELF Now that the grace of God has wrought genuine repentance in the hearts of the brothers, and Judah in particular, Joseph is free to reveal to them His own true identity. He was so deeply affected that he could not restrain himself; and called upon all his servants to leave the room. Only his brothers were with him as he broke down and wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it outside the room, including the household servants of Pharaoh (vs.1-2) "I am Joseph," he tells... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Genesis 45:1-28
JOSEPH ’S HISTORY DISPENSATIONAL ASPECT OF JACOB’S HISTORY Following F.W. Grant in the Numerical Bible, the life of Jacob gives as its lesson the story of that discipline by which the Spirit of God brings us from weakness to power, from nature’s strength to that wholesome weakness in which alone is strength. But for this, natural strength must be crippled, which is provided for in two ways: in allowing us to realize the power of another nature (Esau) and in the direct dealing of God with our... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Genesis 45:1-28
Joseph's Death Gen 45:9-11 Joseph was still a son, though lord of all Egypt. He had still an affectionate heart, though pomp and circumstance conspired to give him great eminence and wonderful power in the whole land of his enforced adoption. A man should never forget his father. Twenty years afterwards and more, Joseph's heart yearned after his father with all a child's clinging trustfulness and unsophisticated trembling pathos. A man should always be a boy when his father is at hand. Did I... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 45:28
REFLECTIONS How grateful, after afflictions, are the renewals of joy! How refreshing the manifestations of JESUS after long, and dark seasons of his absence to the soul? Reader! let the perusal of this Chapter be sure to lead thy heart to the examination, whether JESUS hath made himself known to thee otherwise than he doth to the world. For without this the chief and best improvement from it will be lost. Oh! it is sweet to look at him whom by sin and disobedience we have sold for a slave! It... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Genesis 45:26
He awaked, &c. His heart was overpowered between hope and distrust. He seemed to himself to be dreaming. Septuagint, "in an ecstacy." Such a sudden transition has oftentimes caused death. (Haydock) read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Genesis 45:1-28
CHAPTER 45 Joseph Reveals Himself 1. He reveals himself (Genesis 45:1-3 ) 2. His address (Genesis 45:4-13 ) 3. He kissed his brethren (Genesis 45:14-15 ) 4. Pharaoh’s command (Genesis 45:16-20 ) 5. His brethren sent away and their return to Jacob (Genesis 45:21-28 ) These three chapters belong together because they lead up to the great climax in the story of Joseph. The nobility of the character of Joseph is here fully brought out. Besides being a wise man, the great statesman of... read more
