Gen 46:1-4

Back to Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible

Back to Genesis.

---

• God's promises to Jacob. (1-4) Jacob and his family go to Egypt. (5-27) Joseph meets his father and his brethren. (28-34)

---

1-4 Even as to those events and undertakings which appear most joyful, we should seek counsel, assistance, and a blessing from the Lord.

Attending on his ordinances, and receiving the pledges of his covenant love, we expect his presence, and that peace which it confers. In all removals we should be reminded of our removal out of this world.

Nothing can encourage us to fear no evil when passing through the valley of the shadow of death, but the presence of Christ.
