In this chapter we have instances, I. Of Joseph's kindness and affection to his relations, presenting his brethren first and then his father to Pharaoh (ver. 1-10), settling them in Goshen, and providing for them there (ver. 11, 12), and paying his respects to his father when he sent for him, ver. 27-31. II. Of Joseph's justice between prince and people in a very critical affair, selling Pharaoh's corn to his subjects with reasonable profits to Pharaoh, and yet without any wrong to them, ver. 13, &c. Thus he approved himself wise and good, both in his private and in his public capacity.
Pharaoh's Generosity; Jacob Presented to Pharaoh. (b. c. 1706.)
