Genesis 47:25 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Without thy care and providence we had all been dead men; and therefore if thou hadst kept us to the first bargain, thou hadst done us more kindness than wrong, much more when thou hast used us with so much equity and clemency. Be thou our friend with Pharaoh in this and upon all other occasions. We will be Pharaoh's servants, to manage his land for him upon the terms which thou hast proposed.
