Genesis 45:20 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Regard not your stuff; Heb. let not your eye pity or spare any part of your stuff, as loth to leave it behind you, or afraid to lose it. Sparing or pitying is an act of the mind, but it is ascribed to the eye here, as also Ezekiel 7:4,9 Ezekiel 16:5; partly, because there it discovers itself by tears, or otherwise; and partly, because the sight of the eye doth oft affect the heart, and move pity.

Genesis 45:20

20 Also regarde not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
