Gênesis 43:8-10 NVT

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 43:1-10

The Preparations for the Journey v. 1. And the famine was sore in the land. v. 2. And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food. Since the land of Canaan had no relief in the next year, but the famine rather grew worse, the store of grain was soon consumed, and the necessity was thereby suggested of their making a second journey to Egypt for the purpose of purchasing food, something to eat,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 43:1-15

the Brothers Return with Benjamin Genesis 43:1-15 Joseph, in giving corn to save his own brethren and the Egyptians from starvation, is a type of our Lord, who gives the bread of life to Jew and Gentile-to all that come to Him in their hopeless need. And in this return of the full money in the sacks we are reminded that salvation is without money and without price. Whatever we bring to enrich Christ He returns to us. His gifts are all of His unmerited grace and favor. Very often we move... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 43:1-34

All the old characteristics of Jacob are manifest in this account of his proposed method of dealing with the governor of Egypt with whom his sons had had to do. If things were against him, he did not lose confidence in his own ability to manipulate them to his own advantage. He would send a present and so appease the man. In this action Jacob unconsciously revealed himself. It was his perpetual method of attempting to deal with other men. Always he seems to have thought that the great end of... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Genesis 43:1-14

Peace and Pardon Genesis 43:1-14 INTRODUCTORY WORDS By way of introduction we wish to present to you some succinct statements in Genesis 42:36 . As the famine gripped the land, there was but one recourse open to Jacob, and that was to send to Egypt for corn. This entailed certain things obnoxious to the great Patriarch. First, he had already been deprived of Simeon, whom Egypt's ruler had kept as a hostage against the day of his brother's return. Secondly, the ruler in Egypt had demanded that... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 43:9

SURETY FOR A BROTHER‘I will be surety for him.’ Genesis 43:9 I. I will be surety for him,’ said Judah; and so he became, in a faint and far-off way, the forerunner of Jesus. II. ‘I am Surety for thee,’ my Lord whispers to my heart; and then He asks me to remember the flawless perfection of His obedience. I should have kept the holy law of God, but I have broken all its precepts—I have sought out many inventions of my own. But the Well-beloved Son takes my place, and fulfils commandment after... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 43:8-10

‘And Judah said to Israel his father, “Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones. I will be surety for him. At my hand you will require him. If I do not bring him to you and set him before you I will have sinned against you for ever. For unless we had lingered surely we would now have returned a second time” ’ Judah realises how difficult it is for his father and he offers himself as the guarantee of Benjamin’s return.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 43:1-34

Genesis 43. The Brothers Return to Egypt with Benjamin.— It is generally held that this chapter is from J except for the references to Simeon in Genesis 43:14 and Genesis 43:23 b. According to J, Simeon seems to have played no special part, and there is not the same urgency for return as in E; the discussion as to Benjamin is postponed till the corn is spent. Genesis 42:38 perhaps originally stood after Genesis 43:2. In the conversation Judah takes the part taken by Reuben in E (as in the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Genesis 43:8

Judah, for his age and prudence, and penitent carriage for his youthful follies, was most beloved and regarded by his father. The lad; so he calls him, because he was the youngest of all, though he was now thirty years old, and a father of divers children. See Genesis 30:22; Genesis 35:18; Genesis 41:46; Genesis 46:21. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 43:1-14

CRITICAL NOTES.—Genesis 43:7. The man asked us straitly.] Heb., “Asking, asked.” He earnestly enquired about us and our kindred.—Genesis 43:9. Let me bear the blame for ever.] Heb., “I shall be a sinner to thee all the days.” He would consent to be reputed guilty of violating his plighted faith. Thus in 1 Kings 1:21, shall be counted offenders is literally, “shall be sinners.” Genesis 43:11. The best fruits in the land.] Heb, “The song, music, or melody of the land.” The idea is, that for which... read more
