Gênesis 43:34 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 43:26-34

Here is, I. The great respect that Joseph's brethren paid to him. When they brought him the present, they bowed themselves before him (Gen. 43:26); and again, when they gave him an account of their father's health, they made obeisance, and called him, Thy servant our father, Gen. 43:28. Thus were Joseph's dreams fulfilled more and more: and even the father, by the sons, bowed before him, according to the dream, Gen. 37:10. Probably Jacob had directed them, if they had occasion to speak of him... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 43:34

Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs - Sir John Chardin observes that "in Persia, Arabia, and the Indies, there are several houses where they place several plates in large salvers, and set one of these before each person, or before two or three, according to the magnificence of each house. This is the method among the Hindoos; the dishes are not placed on the table, but messes are sent to each individual by the master of the feast or by his substitute. The great men of the... 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 43:34

And he took and sent (literally, and he sent ) messes — maseoth , from nasa , to take or lift up, i.e. things taken or lifted up, hence portions or gifts ( 2 Samuel 11:8 )— unto them from before him (cf. 1 Samuel 9:23 ).

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Genesis 43:1-34

Joseph and his brothers (42:1-45:28)When Joseph’s brothers came to Egypt to buy grain, Joseph recognized them but they did not recognize him (42:1-8). Rather than make himself known to them immediately, Joseph decided to test them to see if they had experienced any change of heart over the years. Joseph was not looking for revenge. His apparently harsh treatment of them, mixed with kindness, was designed to stir their consciences. They realized they were being punished for their unjust... read more

And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, that did not eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.
