Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"Genesis 46 brings the story of Joseph full circle. Long ago, Jacob’s mourning over his dead son turned to a dull ache that wouldn’t go away. Now, there’s a huge lump in his throat as he learns his son is alive after all. But will they still have a relationship after all these years? And the promise God made to his family – was it imaginary? Jacob offers a sacrifice to God before the trip, but he is nervous. That night, God speaks to Jacob and tells him not to be afraid because the promise still stands (vs. 3). Joseph and Jacob have a wonderful reunion – Jacob thought his son was dead, but he is alive! They embrace each other and weep together for a long time. Joseph advises his family to tell the Egyptians that they are shepherds, a profession he says Egyptians think is an “abomination,” so they can live away from the Egyptians in Goshen. While it is good land, they are also able to live separate from the religious and cultural influences of the region and more freely practice their faith.
It will be hundreds of years before the family leaves Egypt but God will still keep His promise." β€οΈ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/46 Our accounts in other social networks:
