Genesis 43:14

Genesis 43:14

12 Take double money in your hand, and take back in your hand the money ^athat was returned in the mouth of your sacks; perhaps it was an oversight.

13 Take your brother also, and arise, go back to the man.

14 And may God ^aAlmighty ^bgive you mercy before the man, that he may release your other brother and Benjamin. ^cIf I am bereaved, I am bereaved!”

15 So the men took that present and Benjamin, and they took double money in their hand, and arose and went ^adown to Egypt; and they stood before Joseph.

16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ^asteward of his house, “Take these men to my home, and slaughter¹ an animal and make ready; for these men will dine with me at noon.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< Genesis 43:13

Genesis 43:15 >>

God almighty give you mercy before the man! - Jacob had formerly turned an angry brother into a kind one with a present and a prayer, and here he betakes himself to the same tried method. Those that would find mercy with men must seek it of God. He concludes all with this, if I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved - If I must part with them thus one after another, I acquiesce and say, The will of the Lord be done.
