Notes

Genesis 43:13–14

Jacob finally trusted God Almighty with his family's future. This divine title emphasizes God's power (see also 17:1; 28:3; 35:11; 48:3; 1 Kings 19:10, 14; Revelation 21:22).

Genesis 43:11–13

Jacob provided everything he could to ensure a favorable reception from the Egyptian governor ("the man"; compare 32:13–21).

Genesis 42:1–44:34

Joseph did several unusual things to his brothers when they came looking for grain. The last time Joseph had been with them, they were filled with jealousy, hatred, and anger; they attempted to destroy their brother, and they deceived their father. Joseph put them through various tests, similar to the trying situations they had put him through, to see if they had changed.
