Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"Joseph was very happy with the arrival of his extended family. After the initial festivities, he decided to help them with the choice of a place to live. In view of Pharaoh's appreciation of Joseph, the probability was great that he would offer to his brothers important offices in the service of the king, but this would expose them to idolatrous and corrupting influences. Thus Joseph instructed his brethren to tell Pharaoh that they were shepherds, even though they knew that the Egyptians considered shepherds to be a degrading activity. When the king knew that Joseph's brothers were shepherds, he gave him permission to establish his relatives in whatever place he deemed most convenient. Joseph chose Goshen as a suitable place, because it was provided with good pastures and plenty of water. There his relatives could worship God far from the corrupting influences of the Egyptian culture. Joseph had in mind the best for his family. In the same way, we should choose places of residence and professional activities that are favorable to our children's development and spiritual well-being, far from the demoralizing customs of the world. Lord, help us to be prudent and wise like Joseph!" β€οΈ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/47 Our accounts in other social networks:
