创世记 43:15-16 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 43:15-25

Jacob's sons, having got leave to take Benjamin with them, were observant of the orders their father had given them, and went down the second time into Egypt to buy corn. If we should ever know what a famine of the word means, let us not think it much to travel as far for spiritual food as they did for corporal food. Now here we have an account of what passed between them and Joseph's steward, who, some conjecture, was in the secret, and knew them to be Joseph's brethren, and helped to humour... read more

And the men took the present ,.... Their father directed them to: and they took double money in their hand ; besides what they found in their sacks mouths, which they also carried with them: and Benjamin ; they took him likewise with their father's leave: and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph ; presented themselves to him, and their petitions for more corn, as well as to answer to any questions that should be asked them. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 43:16

And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them ,.... Whom he knew, though he had not seen him twenty two years, and though he must be very much altered, being but about ten years of age when Joseph was said into Egypt, yet being with the rest of his brethren, whom he knew very well, concluded it must be him: he said to the ruler of his house ; his steward, as be is after called, not his son Manasseh, as the Targum of Jonathan: bring these men home ; to his own house, for Joseph was now at... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 43:16

Verse 16 16.And he said to the ruler of his house. Here we perceive the fraternal disposition of Joseph; though it is uncertain whether he was perfectly reconciled, as I will shortly show, in its proper place. If, however, remembering the injury, he loved his brethren less than before, he was still far from having vindictive feelings towards them. But because it was something suspicious that foreigners and men of ignoble rank should be received in a friendly manner, like known guests, to a... read more

Lessons of life. I. The chief lesson of this chapter is the MINGLING TOGETHER OF THE PROVIDENTIAL GOVERNMENT OF GOD WITH HIS PURPOSE OF GRACE . It was part of the Divine plan that Jacob and his family should be settled for a long period in Egypt. It could only be brought about by the transference in some way of the point of attraction to Jacob's heart from Canaan to the strange land. Hence c, Jacob" is now "Israel," reminding us how the future is involved in all the... read more
