Genesis 45:11 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 45:11

And there will I nourish thee
Provide for him and his family:

for yet [there are] five years of famine;
still to come, two of the seven only being past:

lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty;
his whole posterity be consumed, as it would be in all probability, if he did not procure food for his family during the famine.

Genesis 45:11 In-Context

9 Now go quickly to my father, and say to him, Your son Joseph says, God has made me ruler over all the land of Egypt: come down to me straight away:

10 The land of Goshen will be your living-place, and you will be near me; you and your children and your children's children, and your flocks and herds and all you have:

11 And there I will take care of you, so that you and your family may not be in need, for there are still five bad years to come.

12 Now truly, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my mouth which says these things to you.

13 Give my father word of all my glory in Egypt and of all you have seen; and come back quickly with my father.
