Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
Ver. 23. Israel also came into Egypt] Whither he feared to go, till God promised him his presence and protection, Genesis 46:3,4. God saith the same in effect to us, when to descend into the grave, Fear not to go down, I will go down with thee, and be better to thee than thy fears. Jacob's best and happiest days were those he spent in Egypt.
