Génesis 45:12 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 45:12

And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother
Benjamin
They were eyewitnesses of his being alive, having themselves seen him, and even Benjamin, who could not be suspected by his father of a fraud in imposing on him; and some of them could doubtless remember his features, and had an ocular proof of his being the very person, which they could with great evidence relate unto Jacob; as also his voice in speaking:

that [it is] my mouth that speaketh unto you;
without an interpreter, as Aben Ezra, and in the Hebrew language, as the Targum and Jarchi; which might confirm them, and likewise their father upon their report, that the governor was not an Egyptian, but an Hebrew; and by that and other concurrent testimonies that he must be Joseph.

Génesis 45:12 In-Context

10 Vivirás en la región de Gosén, cerca de mí, con tus hijos y tus nietos, y con tus ovejas, y vacas y todas tus posesiones.

11 Yo les proveeré alimento allí, porque aún quedan cinco años más de hambre. De lo contrario, tú y tu familia, y todo lo que te pertenece, caerán en la miseria’”.

12 Además, ustedes y mi hermano Benjamín son testigos de que yo mismo lo he dicho.

13 Cuéntenle a mi padre del prestigio que tengo en Egipto, y de todo lo que han visto. ¡Pero apúrense y tráiganlo ya!

14 Y abrazó José a su hermano Benjamín, y comenzó a llorar. Benjamín, a su vez, también lloró abrazado a su hermano José.
