Scofield Reference Bible Notes
Genesis 43

Gen 43:1-34

Gen 43:1 And the famine was sore in the land.

famine

See Scofield Genesis 12:10, note.

Gen 43:3 And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.

not see my face

Gen 44:23.

Gen 43:9 I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:

surety

Gen 44:32.

Gen 43:11 And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:

balm

Gen 37:25.

Gen 43:12 And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:

the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks

Gen 42:25.

Gen 43:18 And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.

afraid

Cf. Gen 42:28.

Gen 43:34 And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.

Benjamin

Cf. Scofield Genesis 35:18, note. It is important to observe that Benjamin now becomes prominent. Joseph is peculiarly the type of Christ in His first advent, rejection, death, resurrection, and present exaltation among the Gentiles, but unrecognized of Israel. As the greater Benjamin, "Son of sorrow," but also "Son of my right hand," He is to be revealed in power in the Kingdom (see Scofield Genesis 1:26-28; Zechariah 12:8, note.) It is then, and not till then, that Israel is to be restored and converted (see Scofield Deuteronomy 30:3). Typically Genesis 45:1, 2 anticipates the revelation prophetically described, Ezekiel 20:33-36; Hosea 2:14-23, at which time the Benjamin type of Christ will be fulfilled.
