In this chapter we have instances, I. Of Joseph’s kindness and affection to his relations, presenting his brethren first and then his father to Pharaoh (Genesis 47:1-47:10), settling them in Goshen, and providing for them there (Genesis 47:11, 47:12), and paying his respects to his father when he sent for him, Genesis 47:27-47:31. II. Of Joseph’s justice between prince and people in a very critical affair, selling Pharaoh’s corn to his subjects with reasonable profits to Pharaoh, and yet without any wrong to them, Genesis 47:13-47:26 Thus he approved himself wise and good, both in his private and in his public capacity.
