Chuàngshìjì 47:27 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 47:27

And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of
Goshen
The historian returns to the account of the Israelites, having before observed the placing of them in Goshen by Joseph, at the direction of Pharaoh, in compliance with their own request; and here they continued until they were grown more numerous, when they were obliged to spread themselves further in this same country:

and they had possessions therein;
fields and vineyards, as the Targum of Jonathan; all the land was Pharaoh's, and they rented of him as his people did, it may be supposed:

and grew, and multiplied exceedingly;
even in Jacob's lifetime they grew rich and numerous.
