SEV Biblia, Chapter 46:28
¶ Y envió a Judá delante de sí a José, para que le viniese a ver a Gosén; y llegaron a la tierra de Gosén.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 46:28
Verse 28. He sent Judah before him unto Joseph] Judah was certainly a man of sense, and also an eloquent man; and of him Joseph must have had a very favourable opinion from the speech he delivered before him, chap. xliv. 18, &c.; he was therefore chosen as the most proper person to go before and announce Jacob's arrival to his son Joseph. To direct his face unto Goshen] The land of Goshen is the same, according to the Septuagint, as the land of Rameses, and Goshen itself the same as Heroopolis, 'hrwwn poliv Heroonpolis, the city of heroes, a name by which it went in the days of the Septuagint, and which it still retained in the time of Josephus, for he makes use of the same term in speaking of this place. See on ""ver. 34"".
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 28-34 - It was justice to Pharaoh to let him know that such a family was com to settle in his dominions. If others put confidence in us, we must no be so base as to abuse it by imposing upon them. But how shall Josep dispose of his brethren? Time was, when they were contriving to be ri of him; now he is contriving to settle them to their advantage; this is rendering good for evil. He would have them live by themselves, in the land of Goshen, which lay nearest to Canaan. Shepherds were a abomination to the Egyptians. Yet Joseph would have them not ashamed to own this as their occupation before Pharaoh. He might have procure places for them at court or in the army. But such preferments woul have exposed them to the envy of the Egyptians, and might have tempte them to forget Canaan and the promise made unto their fathers. A honest calling is no disgrace, nor ought we to account it so, but rather reckon it a shame to be idle, or to have nothing to do. It is generally best for people to abide in the callings they have been bre to and used to. Whatever employment and condition God in his providenc has allotted for us, let us suit ourselves to it, satisfy ourselve with it, and not mind high things. It is better to be the credit of mean post, than the shame of a high one. If we wish to destroy ou souls, or the souls of our children, then let us seek for ourselves and for them, great things; but if not, it becomes us, having food an raiment, therewith to be content __________________________________________________________________
