Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 45:8
Genesis 45:8. Hath made me a father to Pharaoh— i.e.. God has given me as much authority in the court of Pharaoh, as if I were really the king's father; so that he undertakes nothing without my advice, and executes nothing without my orders. And what wonder? since the wisdom of Joseph was so great and experienced, that "the words of his mouth were generally received, not as coming from man, but from God," says Justin, in book 36: chap. 2. of his history. Princes usually conferred this title of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Genesis 45:10
Genesis 45:10. Thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen— Goshen was the most easterly province of Lower AEgypt, not far from the Arabian gulph, lying next to Canaan; for Jacob went directly thither, when he came into AEgypt, and stayed there till Joseph came to him, ch. Genesis 46:28. It is called also the land of Rameses, ch. Genesis 47:11. See the note on that verse. Josephus, in his Antiquties, b. ii. c. 4. makes Heliopolis, the city of Joseph's father-in-law, the place of the Israelites'... read more

Genesis 45:13. Tell my father of all my glory— He enjoins them to do this out of filial love, and in order to give satisfaction to his good old father, not with any vain or ostentatious views. In Joh 17:24 our Saviour says, that they may behold my glory. REFLECTIONS.—An address so affecting as that of Judah's, could not fail of moving any heart, not a stranger to the feelings of humanity; and how much more Joseph's, so deeply interested in every argument, and pierced with every word of Judah's... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Genesis 45:1
1. Then Joseph could not refrain himself—The severity of the inflexible magistrate here gives way to the natural feelings of the man and the brother. However well he had disciplined his mind, he felt it impossible to resist the artless eloquence of Judah. He saw a satisfactory proof, in the return of all his brethren on such an occasion, that they were affectionately united to one another; he had heard enough to convince him that time, reflection, or grace had made a happy improvement on their... read more

2. he wept aloud—No doubt, from the fulness of highly excited feelings; but to indulge in vehement and long-continued transports of sobbing is the usual way in which the Orientals express their grief. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Genesis 45:3
3. I am Joseph—or, "terrified at his presence." The emotions that now rose in his breast as well as that of his brethren—and chased each other in rapid succession—were many and violent. He was agitated by sympathy and joy; they were astonished, confounded, terrified; and betrayed their terror, by shrinking as far as they could from his presence. So "troubled" were they, that he had to repeat his announcement of himself; and what kind, affectionate terms he did use. He spoke of their having sold... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Genesis 45:6
6. and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest—"Ear" is an old English word, meaning "to plough" (compare 1 Samuel 8:12; Isaiah 30:24). This seems to confirm the view given (Isaiah 30:24- :) that the famine was caused by an extraordinary drought, which prevented the annual overflowing of the Nile; and of course made the land unfit to receive the seed of Egypt. read more
