INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS
FOR NOVEMBER 3.
Subject: Death of Joseph. Gen. 1., 1.V2C?
Gohlen Text. Pfii. xr., 12 ? Memory
Verses. 18-21 ? Commentary on the
Day's Lesson.
T.et us study cnrefullv th? in terpen in 2
historv. 1. Joseph sendioe for his father.
45: 17-28. Pharaoh and his servants were
well nlcased when thev knew* that Joseph's
brethren had come. The king ioins with
Joseph in sending for Jacob and his family.
Croat orovisjons were made for their
Journey. At first Jacob's heart fainted,
or the news seemed too good to be true,
but when he saw the wagons and the
"good things of Esrvnt" that Josenh had
sent h^ believed and his spirit revived.
2. The journey to Earvpt. 46: 1-27.
"immediately tne wno e lamuy prc|utic<i
to move to Egypt with tlieir flocks and
movable pronerty. The journey was
about 2j0 miles along the usual caravan
route, but it wa? a long, hard iournov for
an oM man. with women and children,
and fln^l-s and herds. tVhen they reached
Beer-sheha God sent .Taeob a vision for his
encouragement, con finning the ancient
Promises and bidding him go on to Egypt.
Little could Jacob s"c the r(.al importance
of this journey, but it was one of the links
in the chain of divine providence through
which the promises were to be fulfilled."
The number of Jacob's children that went
down into Eevpt, including his sons' wives,
was seventv-five. Acts T: 14.
3. The meeting of Jacob and Joseph.
4fi: 28-34. When Jacob rea -hed the land '
of Goshen Joseph went forth in bis chariot
to meet his father. Joseph fell on his
father's neck "and wept on bis neck a
good while." It had been nearly twentvthree
years smce Joseph had left his father
to co to Shcchem.
4. The meeting of Jacob and Pharaoh.
47: 1-10. "First Joseph selected five of
his brethren and introduced them to
Pharaoh, who welcomed them, and bade
Joseph give official positions to any who
proved themselves men of activitv. energv
and ability. Then Joseph introduced hit
father to the king. Hero Joseph shows
the nobleness of his chnraoW jn not being
ashamed of hi- father." Jacob's account
of his life to Pharaoh is very touching.
Sin and sorrow had weighed him down'
afid was lirinring him tr> an early e?T'l arc.
5. Jacob blessing his sons. Chapters
48, 49. The time was approaching when
Jacob knew he must die: hr> is sick and
nearly blind. Josenli took his two sons.
Wanasseh and Ephraim. to his father,
who blessed them. '"In this scone we need
but notice the prophetic adoption of
Ephraim and Manesseh as his own cons
and heads of tribes, and the giving of the
chief blessing to Ephraim. the younger."
Ephraim became the leading tribe next to
Judah. Just before hi? death Jacob prophesied
concerning his sons and pronounced
blessings upon them.
C. Jacob's death and burial. 49: 2? to
.*>0: 14. Jacob was 147 years of age when
he died. Tlefore his death he secured a
solemn pledge from Joseph that he would
bun* him in Egypt 147: 29-2.1). and later
be charged them to bury him in the cave
where Abraham and Isaac were buried.
ThCse in'truetions were carefully carried
out. At this lime Joseph revi-its the
scenes of his boyhood, after an absence oi
forty years.
15. "Saw their father was dead." This
at once argues both a s?nse of guilt in
their own consciences and a want of confidence
in their brother.
16. "Thy father did command." Although
this is not recorded elsewhere it
was undoubtedly true. They had probably
/5sked their father to help them in their
trouble. Jacob must have advised them
' to humble themselves before their brother
and obtain a fresh assurance of his forgiveness.
17. '"Forgive." cfc. These words were
wonderfully well chosen. and were spoIcen
in a way to appeal in the mn-t forcible
manner to Joseph's piety and filial affection.
Thcv cast themselves wholly on
his mercy. "Joseph wept." IIow touching!
He wept out of sympathy with their
deep sorrow of manv years which nothing
but forgiveness and reconciliation could
alleviate.
18. "Fell down." Thus again and again
do we see the fulfilment of Joseph's dreams
in a remarkable manner. .17: 5-S.
19. "In the place of God." I have forgiven
you and the matter is now between
you and God. I am not your judge to punish
you.
20. "Ye meant evil" (R. V.) And what
they did was just as wicked as though the
results had been disastrous. They intended
it for evil, and God judges according to
the motive which prompts the act. "God
meant it for pood" (R. V.) God overruled
their wickedness and made it work
out good. This fact would comfort them,
for it would be a great relief to know that
the injury to Joseph which they had intended
had been averted.
22. "Dwelt in Egypt." He continued
in Egypt until the time of his death,
which was fifty-four years after the death
of his father. "His father's house." All
the descendants of Jacob remained in
Egypt 144 years after the death of Joseph.
They came to Egypt seventv-one years before
his death, which makes the entire
time in Egvpt 215 years. "An hundred and
ten years." He was seventeen years old
when he came to Egvnt. thirteen years
were spent in slavery and orison nnd
eightv years on the throne: for it is probable
that he retained his high office to the
close of his life.
23. "TTpon Joseph's knees." They were
educated by him. or under his direction;
his sons and their children continued to
acknowledge him as patriarch, or head of
the familv. as long as he lived.
24. "Will surely visit you." Joseph had
unbounded confidence in the promises
made to his ancestors. The Egyptian
throne had not weaned his affections from
the tn:e God. He died in the "full assur|
ance of faith." "Brine you out." Though
ye have everything that can make life
comfortable, yet this is not the land
given by covenant, the land which represents
the rest that remains for the people
of God.
23. "Carrv r.n my bone.'.." "That T may
finallv rest with my ance=tors in the 'and
which God gave to .Abraham, and which
is a pledge as it is e. type of the kingdom
of heaven." See IJ*b. H: 22. Joseph's
request was granted. When Moses departed
from Egypt be took Joseph's body
(Ex. 13: 19'. and Joshua buried him in
Shechem. .Tosh. 24: 32.
26. "They embalmed him." The Egvotians
had special physicians for each disease:
the cmhalir.ers formed a class by
themselves. "Tn a coffin." Coffins were
not universally used in Eprvpt. and were
only used for persons of eminence and distinction.
Joseph v.r.3 rut. as the duty of
the embolmors. in a c'ncst of wood, such
as mav be seen in our museums to this J
day.* Others think Joseph's coffin was of I
stone. _
Woes ?f a Crocer.
Tt was an uptown grocery which a
little girl about five years of age entered
the other day. saying: "I want a spool
r f cotton !" "Von won't get that here."
replied the grocer iokinglv. "You'll i
have to go to the blacksmith's shop for
that." "J want a spool of cotton," the
child repeated, clutching something very
tightly in her right hand. And >he continued
to reiterate the request for a lonp;
time before quitting the store. Presently
her mother appeared in the dcor, with
a very irate countenance. "D'ye mem
to tell me that you haven't got a nutmeg?"
she inquired indignantly. "Wis
tfcc.t what the child wanted?" exclaimed
the grocer. "She asked for a spool of |
cotton." "Couldn't you see the nutmeg j
in her hand?" retorted the mother. "I j
saw something in her hand, but I didn't j
kiVMv what it was." "Well, all you !
li^.i <>-. u'i! tr? tmcl! it." was the final I
?hot with which the matron departed.
Witnesses to this scene have amu.cd
themselves ever since, asking the grocer
why lie doesn't exercise greater detective
skill in finding out what his cut- ,
turners require when they don't know i
themselves."?Philadelphia Record. .. ,
