CONTENTS
This Chapter contains the particulars of Israel's journey to Egypt. And never surely was there a journey undertaken with more clear and leading views of the divine Providence. Constrained by famine, invited by his son, and encouraged and directed by his GOD, the hoary Patriarch sets forward to embrace a long lost child. He takes all his family with him, arrives at the place of meeting, and beholds his son: an account of their interview.
Beersheba, a memorable spot: see Genesis 26:33; Genesis 26:33. This offering of sacrifices, was no doubt an offering with an eye, to the great sacrifice CHRIST: see Hebrews 11:4. That is a sweet scripture, GOD is not ashamed to be called their GOD. Hebrews 11:16.
