Génesis 45:27 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 45:27

And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said
unto them
Not concerning their selling of him, and his forgiveness of them, and reconciliation to them, which perhaps Jacob never heard of to his dying day, since he makes no mention of it, nor hints at it in his dying words to them; but of his great advancement in the court of Pharaoh, and how desirous he was to have his father and family with him, and provide for them, since there were five years of famine yet to come: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him,
and his sons wives and children, down to Egypt in; and which were so grand and magnificent, that he was easily persuaded could never have been provided by his sons, if what they had said concerning Joseph was not true: and then the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
not the Holy Spirit, or spirit of prophecy, as the Targums, which the Jews say departed from him, and had not been with him since the loss of Joseph, but now returned; but his own natural spirit, he became lively and cheerful, giving credit to the report of his sons.

Génesis 45:27 In-Context

25 Y subieron de Egipto y vinieron a la tierra de Canaán, a su padre Jacob.
26 Y le informaron, diciendo: José vive todavía, y es gobernante en toda la tierra de Egipto. Pero él se quedó atónito porque no los podía creer.
27 Pero cuando ellos le contaron todas las cosas que José les había dicho, y cuando vio las carretas que José había enviado para llevarlo, el espíritu de su padre Jacob revivió.
28 Entonces Israel dijo: Basta, mi hijo José vive todavía. Iré y lo veré antes que yo muera.
