- Cause.
   * 2Sa 1:20 Mt 18:15 Ac 10:41 1Co 13:5


VERSE 2 
 - wept aloud.  Heb. gave forth his voice in weeping.
  "This," says Sir J. Chardin, "is exactly the genius of the
  people of Asia; their sentiments of joy or grief are properly
  transports, and their transports are ungoverned, excessive,
  and truly outrageous.  When anyone returns from a long
  journey or dies, his family burst into cries that may be
  heard twenty doors off; and this is renewed at different
  times, and continues many days, according to the vigor of
  the passion.  Sometimes they cease all at once, and then
  begin as suddenly, with a greater shrillness and loudness
  than one could easily imagine."

   * Ge 41:29-31,54,56; 47:18

  Earing means ploughing or seed-time from the Anglo-Saxon

  Hebrew.

  Goshen was the most eastern district of Lower Egypt, and the
  frontier of that country and Arabia, not far from the Arabian
  gulf, and lying next to Canaan; for Jacob went directly
  thither when he came into Egypt, from which it was about
  eighty miles distant, though Hebron was distant from the
  Egyptian capital about three hundred miles.

VERSE 22 
 - To all.
  It is a common custom with all the Asiatic sovereigns to give
  both garments and money to ambassadors and persons of
  distinction, whom they particularly wish to honor.  De La
  Motraye says, "that they then clothed them (the ambassadors)
  with {caffetans} (long vests of gold or silver brocade) with
  large silk flowers."

- each.
   * Jud 14:12,19 2Ki 5:5,22,23 Re 6:11
- to Benjamin.
   * Ge 43:34


VERSE 23 
 - laden with.  Heb. carrying.
   * :17
- good things.
   * Ge 24:10; 43:11 Ex 16:3
- meat.
  As {mazon} is derived from {zoon,} to prepare, provide, Dr.
  A. Clarke thinks it may mean here prepared meat; some made-up
  dish, delicacies, confectionaries, etc.  In Asiatic countries
  they have several curious methods of preserving flesh by
  potting, by which it may be kept, for any length of time,
  sweet and wholesome.  Some delicacy, similar to the savory
  meat which Isaac loved, may here be intended; sent to Jacob
  in consideration of his age, and to testify the respect of
  his son; for of other kinds of meat he could have no need, as
  he had large flocks and herds, and could kill a lamb, kid,
  etc. when he pleased.



VERSE 24 
 - See that.
   * Ge 37:22; 42:21,22 Ps 133:1-3 Joh 13:34,35 Eph 4:31,32 Php 2:2-5

- he believed.
   * Job 9:16; 29:24 Ps 126:1 Lu 24:11,41


VERSE 27 
 - the spirit.
   * Jud 15:19 1Sa 30:12 Ps 85:6 Isa 57:15 Ho 6:2


VERSE 28 
 - It is enough.
   * Ge 46:30 Lu 2:28-30 Joh 16:21,22
