Genesis 45:18 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 45:18

And take your father, and your households
Or families, for they were all married persons, and had children, and no doubt servants also: all were to be brought with them,

and come unto me;
into his kingdom, to his metropolis, and to his palace, and into his presence:

and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt;
the best things which it affords, and the best and most fruitful part of it, as he afterwards did, which was the land of Goshen:

and ye shall eat the fat of the land;
the choicest fruits of the earth, such as were produced in fields and gardens; meaning that they should have the finest of the wheat for themselves, and the fattest pastures for their flocks.

Genesis 45:18 In-Context

16 Als dit gerucht in het huis van Farao gehoord werd, dat men zeide: Jozefs broeders zijn gekomen! was het goed in de ogen van Farao, en in de ogen van zijn knechten.
17 En Farao zeide tot Jozef: Zeg tot uw broederen: Doet dit, laadt uw beesten, en trekt heen, gaat naar het land Kanaan;
18 En neemt uw vader en uw huisgezinnen, en komt tot mij, en ik zal u het beste van Egypteland geven, en gij zult het vette dezes lands eten.
19 Gij zijt toch gelast: doet dit, neemt u uit Egypteland wagenen voor uw kinderkens, en voor uw vrouwen, en voert uw vader, en komt.
20 En uw oog verschone uw huisraad niet; want het beste van gans Egypteland, dat zal het uwe zijn.
