Context — Joseph Sends for His Father

8Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God, who has made me a father to Pharaoh—lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt. 9Now return quickly to my father and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me without delay.

10You shall settle in the land of Goshen and be near me—you and your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and everything you own.

11And there I will provide for you, because there will be five more years of famine. Otherwise, you and your household and everything you own will come to destitution.’ 12Behold! You and my brother Benjamin can see that I, Joseph, am the one speaking with you.

Genesis 45:10 Summary

In Genesis 45:10, Joseph is inviting his family to come and live in the land of Goshen, where he can take care of them and provide for their needs. This is similar to how God provides for us, as seen in Psalm 23:1-4, where He guides and protects us like a shepherd. Joseph wants his family to be near him so he can help them during the difficult time of famine, just like God helps us in our times of need (Psalm 46:1). By trusting in God's provision and care, we can have peace and confidence, just like Joseph's family did in Genesis 45:10-11.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the significance of the land of Goshen in Genesis 45:10?

The land of Goshen is a region in Egypt where Joseph instructs his family to settle, and it will serve as a place of provision and protection for them during the famine, as seen in Genesis 45:11 and Genesis 47:27.

Why does Joseph want his family to be near him in Egypt?

Joseph wants his family to be near him so he can provide for them and care for them, demonstrating his love and responsibility as a son and brother, as expressed in Genesis 45:10-11 and supported by Psalm 133:1.

What does it mean for Joseph to say 'you and your children and grandchildren, your flocks and herds, and everything you own' in Genesis 45:10?

This phrase indicates that Joseph is inviting his entire family, including their possessions and livestock, to come and live in the land of Goshen, where he can provide for their needs, similar to how God provided for the Israelites in Exodus 12:31-32.

How does Genesis 45:10 relate to God's larger plan for Joseph's family?

Genesis 45:10 is part of God's plan to preserve the family of Jacob, also known as Israel, and to ultimately bring them to the Promised Land, as promised in Genesis 12:7 and Genesis 15:18.

Reflection Questions

What are some ways I can trust God to provide for my family's needs, just like Joseph provided for his family in Genesis 45:10-11?
How can I demonstrate love and care for my own family, just as Joseph did for his family in Genesis 45:10?
What are some things I can learn from Joseph's example of humility and trust in God's sovereignty, as seen in Genesis 45:8-10?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 45:10

Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not: No JFB commentary on these verses.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 45:10

Goshen, a part of Egypt bordering upon Canaan, well watered and fit for cattle, and therefore most proper for the Israelites, not only for present use, and to keep them at some distance from the inward parts of Egypt, and from the court, but also that they might have Canaan always in their eye and mind, and in God’ s time might with least disadvantage march thither. Joseph promiseth this place, either because it was least inhabited, being in the borders of the land, or because he justly presumed upon the king’ s favour, and knew that the growing famine would give him opportunity to dispose of the people as he pleased.

Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 45:10

Genesis 45:10 And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’ s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:Ver. 10 Thou shalt be near unto me.] So sweet a comfort to friends, that death itself is called but a departure. This the heathen persecutors knew, and therefore banished the Christian confessors far asunder One man may be by his counsel an angel to another; as Bradford was to Dr Taylor in prison. Communion with such is the "being bound up in the bundle of life," which was the blessing of Abigail upon David. St John trusted to come unto the elect lady, and "speak face to face, that their joy might be full." When one desired to see Alexander’ s treasure, he bid one of his servants show him, not αργυριουταλαντα, but τουςφιλους; not his wealth, but his friends. What an honour is that, that Christ should say to us, "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you!" And should say to his Father, "Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me!" What could Joseph say more for his father and brethren? Cyprian., Epist. Liban. Prog. Chris., i.

Ellicott's Commentary on Genesis 45:10

(10) The land of Goshen.—This land, also called “the laud of Rameses” (Genesis 47:11), probably from the city “Raamses,” which the Israelites were compelled to build there (Exodus 1:11), was situated on the eastern bank of the Nile, and apparently commencing a little to the north of Memphis extended to the Mediterranean, and to the borders of the Philistines’ land (Exodus 13:17). In Psalms 78:12; Psalms 78:43, it is called the “field of Zoan,” or Tanis. It probably was an unsettled district, but rich in pastures, and belonged in a very loose way to Egypt. In the LXX. it is called “Gesem of Arabia,” to which country both Herodotus and Strabo reckoned all the district on the east of the Nile towards the Isthmus of Suez as belonging. And here the Israelites were constantly joined by large numbers of Semitic immigrants, who were enrolled in their “tafs,” and swelled the rapidly increasing number of their dependants. For, as we have seen before, not merely the lineal descendants of Abraham were circumcised, but all his household and his slaves; and being thus admitted into the covenant became members of the Jewish church and nation (Genesis 17:23).

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Genesis 45:10

Verse 10. Thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen] Probably this district had been allotted to Joseph by the king of Egypt, else we can scarcely think he could have promised it so positively, without first obtaining Pharaoh's consent. Goshen was the most easterly province of Lower Egypt, not far from the Arabian Gulf, lying next to Canaan, (for Jacob went directly thither when he came into Egypt,) from whence it is supposed to have been about fourscore miles distant, though Hebron was distant from the Egyptian capital about three hundred miles. At Goshen Jacob stayed till Joseph visited him, Genesis 46:28. It is also called the land of Rameses, Genesis 47:11, from a city of that name, which was the metropolis of the country. Josephus, Antiq., 1. ii., c. 4, makes Heliopolis, the city of Joseph's father-in-law, the place of the Israelites' residence. As גשם geshem signifies rain in Hebrew, St. Jerome and some others have supposed that גשן Goshen comes from the same root, and that the land in question was called thus because it had rain, which was not the case with Egypt in general; and as it was on the confines of the Arabian Gulf, it is very probable that it was watered from heaven, and it might be owing to this circumstance that it was peculiarly fertile, for it is stated to be the best of the land of Egypt. See Genesis 47:6; Genesis 47:11. See also Calmet and Dodd.

Cambridge Bible on Genesis 45:10

10. the land of Goshen] Goshen mentioned only in J, Genesis 46:28-29; Genesis 46:34; Genesis 47:1; Genesis 47:4; Genesis 47:6; Genesis 47:27; Genesis 50:8; Exodus 8:22; Exodus 9:26. By this term seems to be understood a district corresponding to the present Wady-el-Tumilat, a stretch of low ground extending from the eastern arm of the Delta to the Valley of Suez and the Salt Lakes. To the north and south of this district the country was barren and desert. Its identification with “Goshen” was the result of the researches carried out by M. Naville. The region has become more familiar in modern times as the country of the brief campaign terminated by the battle of Tel el-Kebir (1882). LXX here and Genesis 46:34 translates Goshen, ΓέσεμἈραβίας = “Gesem of Arabia.” “Arabia” was one of the 23 “nomes” into which the Delta was divided; and the capital of the “nome” Arabia, called Phakussa, has been conjecturally identified with the ancient locality, Kes, with the article pa prefixed. near unto me] If Joseph lived at On (Genesis 41:45) or at Memphis, Goshen would be near at hand.

Whedon's Commentary on Genesis 45:10

10. Dwell in the land of Goshen — “Joseph invites his father to come and settle in Goshen, apparently before consulting Pharaoh upon the matter, trusting to his influence with the king to secure this favour.
