As joseph recounts
his experience
from being sold, his
hatred, his
sadness, his love
for family is
caught in turmoil in
his heart, and
he cannot truly
express one or the
other, so he just
cries. His actions
here say way more
than his words
ever could.
|
|
|
|
So, joseph cannot
refrain himself
from crying out
loud. He is totally
overwhelmed with
emotion and
cries to the extent
that the men on
the outside of the
house could
hear and identify
that it was
Joseph that was
crying. This must
have been a response
which was
out of his control.

45:5-7 Joseph finally understands and explains to his brethren that God
sent him to Egypt to preserve the life of his family.

The brothers at first could not recognize joseph because he looked like
an Egyptian.

45:8 Joseph confirms that he has the power of pharaoh.

45:9 In this verse Joseph does not order the brothers to explain to
their father, that they were the ones who sold him into slaver into Egypt.
Instead just gives the order for Israel to come to Egypt because he has
sustenance enough to provide for him and his family.
Joseph is accepting that it was God who caused him to be sold into
slavery into Egypt.

45:16-24 Note that Pharaoh is pleased to entertain the brethren of
Joseph. He invites them in and offers the good of the land to them.

Jacob purposes in his heart to see Joseph before he dies.

This was my most ambitious project. I had hoped to provide a verse by verse commentary of the entire bible. However, my computer was stolen and I did not get to upload all the commentary I had documented up to Joshua. I was devasted by the theft and did not continue the commentary.
