Genesis 45:12
Compare all
10 aYou shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near to me, you and your children, your children’s children, your flocks and your herds, and all that you have.  
11 There I will aprovide for you, lest you and your household, and all that you have, come to poverty; for there are still five years of famine.” ’  
12 “And behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is amy mouth that speaks to you.  
13 So you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen; and you shall hurry and abring my father down here.”  
14 Then he fell on his brother Benjamin’s neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.

Genesis 45:12

Your eyes see that it is my mouth - If they could recollect themselves, they might remember something of his features and speech, and be satisfied.

(2.) He is very earnest that his father and all his family should come to him to Egypt. Come down unto me, tarry not - He allots his dwelling in Goshen, that part of Egypt which lay towards Canaan, that they might be mindful of the country from which they were to come out. He promiseth to provide for him, I will nourish - Our Lord Jesus being, like Joseph, exalted to the highest honours and powers of the upper world, it is his will that all that are his should be with him where he is. This is his commandment, that we be with him now in faith and hope, and a heavenly conversation; and this is his promise, that we shall be for ever with him.
